Why Use PEScience Protein in Baking?

Not all protein powders bake well, but PEScience Select Protein was designed to do more than just shake. Our Pumpkin Pie or Gourmet Vanilla Select Protein Powder blends seamlessly with almond flour for light, moist muffins that don’t dry out or taste chalky. It’s the ultimate hack for creating low-carb, high-protein baked goods that taste just as good (if not better) than the original.
