Since starting this recipe blog, I've worked with brands including Vitamin Shoppe, Quest Nutrition, Crunch Fitness, Naked Nutrition, Labrada, PlantFusion, Healthy Habits, and many others.

I've developed recipes for these brands, held workshops, and even developed packaged baking mixes.

In my free time, I'm usually at the dog park with @sweet.gem.ruby. 💕

Hi Shawna,
Thanks so much for writing in! With the recipes posted here, I think it really depends on the particular brands of protein powder you choose. Some protein shake powders contain added supplements that would not be appropriate for children. The powders we use (and the mixes in our shop) are generally clean ingredients, but it would be best to check with your pediatrician if you have any concerns.
Thanks again for writing in!
Best,
Andréa

Andrea,
Once again you out did yourself this time with the Lemon protein Tartlets ! I'm telling you, sell them, write a cook book. Go on some of the food network shows, you'd be a big success and make a lot of money :) Once again, in the meantime I'll try everything !
