For an option with added minerals, I would recommend ProteinWorld Slender Blend (same discount code here too);
Quest Nutrition Vanilla is another I use in my protein recipes; This is a sweeter whey-caesin blend.

Tastes great. Also maybe it’s just what we used but I figured it to be about 30 grams of protein for the whole recipe. I used pb2, ghost chips ahoy protein powder, jif natural and then just regular milk.
[…] small discs to serve. A peanut butter dip can be flavored with the addition of simple ingredients. Hayl’s Kitchen recommends pureeing peanut butter with peanut butter powder (such as PB2), vanilla protein powder, […]
Tried this and am very happy with it. My husband has had bariatric surgery and I have hypoglycemia so both of us need high protein and low carb and/ or low glycemic load. There’s lots of room in this recipe for flavor experiments – like Salted Carmel Quest Protein Powder! I tried it with one of the “grittier” pea protein powders and texture is still great. Expect this to become a staple..
I’m so glad you and your husband both found a treat that works for you. This really means a lot that I was able to help!
P.S. using Salted Carmel is lovely too!
Super good!! Made a high-protein PB&J and it was ??
This is the perfect way to use this spread! I’m glad you agree 🙂
