Let me break it down for you.  This pie is:
  • Quick and easy to make
  • A refreshing and cold, minty dessert 
  • Filled with lots of fabulous nutrients and antioxidants
  • A really damn good pie

How's that sound?  Good?  Great!  Here's the details behind this frozen sweet creation:  The kind folks over at Skoop sent me a big package of some of their best plant-based protein powders.  For this pie, I wanted to boost it's vitamin and protein power and thus, used the B-Strong Skoop.

First of all, I must tell you about this protein powder.  I'm not usually a big fan of protein powders, bars, drinks, etc. and it's usally because you have to be careful about the ingredients that are actually in these supposedly healthy protein-packed foods.  Oh yeah, and I usually can't stand that "chalky" taste that can be pretty characteristic of many protein powders and fortified foods.  Bleh....

Bearing all that in mind, I highly recommend you try out this B-Strong Protein Powder because it is by far the best protein powder I have ever tasted! 

B-Strong Protein Powder:
  • Plant-based protein powder designed to help your body absorb nutrients, build muscle and recover quickly
  • Blend of super pure Brown Rice and Pea Protein supplies a complete amino profile for strong, healthy muscles and lasting energy
  • Prebiotics promote a happy belly
  • Added Omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids to aid hormone function and boost skin and cell health
  • Blend of antioxidant-rich Mediterranean fruits for post-workout recovery
  • Tastes great--not "chalky" at all!
The B-Strong Protein Powder, along with all the other lines of Skoop Protein Powders can easily be incorporated in smoothies, oatmeals, baked goods, and, of course, pie

Peppermint Chocolate Chip Protein Pie

Serves: 1 pie (8 servings)

Ingredients:


1 reduced fat graham cracker pie crust
2 1/2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt (I used Great Value brand)
2 Tbsp. Skoop B-Strong Protein Powder (or other vanilla or plain flavor protein powder)
2 Tbsp. sugar-free, fat-free vanilla pudding mix
2 Tbsp. sugar-free, fat-free cheesecake pudding mix
1/2 tsp. NuNaturals Peppermint NuStevia Liquid OR peppermint extract *
green food coloring
whipped topping (I used Cool Whip)
1 heaping Tbsp. mini choc. chips
2 Tbsp. Andes mint chocolate squares (approx. 7 squares; chopped into small pieces)



*Note:  if you use the peppermint extract, I recommend adding a bit of stevia or sweetener of choice to the mix as well.  Depends how sweet you want the pie.

Directions:

Add the yogurt, protein powder, and pudding mixes to a bowl and mix well.  Add in the NuNaturals Peppermint Liquid OR peppermint extract and green food coloring to your desired flavor and color.  Mix well in bowl.

Spread the pretty, green yogurt mixture into the pie crust.  Top with Cool Whip or your desired whipped topping.  Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and chopped Andes mint chocolate pieces on top of pie.  Or you could even go the extra mile and top it with some Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies....Yum!
Store in freezer.  Serve cold, either straight from the freezer or slightly thawed.  It's up to you!  I prefer it slightly thawed.

What's your favorite type of pie?

Do you have a favorite protein powder you regularly use?  Or have you tried the Skoop protein powder?

That looks so good! I never thought about putting protein powder in something so yummy!

Kaylin

Thank you Jennifer! You can't even taste the protein powder if you put the right amount in and especially with this Skoop protein powder--it has a great taste anyways.

Wowza! This is making me almost drool (how embarrassing!) Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try it!

Drool inducing isn't a bad thing, Deborah. Thanks for visiting!

Ooooooh! A non whey, non soy protein powder? How many grams of protein and how many carbs? Also, do you have any recommendations for substituting the Greek yogurt for those of us who can't have milk products at all? I know Greek has less lactose but it tends to still give me trouble.

Kaylin
8/22/2014 01:11:55

I have actually seen people use tofu or a nut cream (like cashew cream?) in pies as substitutes for dairy products before? So you might try that or look up a recipe for it!

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but adding protein powder to pie is a great idea!

Kaylin

Thank you Sarah! Hope I inspired you to create a protein pie. :)

OMG THIS CAKE/PIE LOOKS KILLER!!! When I could eat mint chocolate chip ice cream, I would only eat the GREEN ONE - because I mean, food coloring is soooo delicious, ha ha! But this pie brings back so many memories! I would fill a swimming pool with it and dive right now. lol

Kaylin

Haha, I always enjoy your honest and hilarious comments, Gigi! Oh yeah...the green definitely makes it better. ;) Besides, green is my favorite color!

So glad you liked the recipe, Dannii! You could definitely add protein powder to many pie recipe. :)

I've never tried protein powder, but this looks yummy. Adding it to a pie sounds a lot better than drinking it.

Kaylin
8/26/2014 09:12:33

Yes, Sonya, you should give either this pie or a baked good with protein powder added a try instead of just the protein drinks. It hides the powders better. But this protein powder actually tastes great as well, so no worries there!

Thank you Amanda!! Does it not have a little hover "Pin it" button over the picture when you hover your mouse over it? I added that a couple weeks ago. Works on my computer! I hope it works...

There's nothing better than diving into a cold, peppermint dessert while snuggled up in a cozy, heated house on a winter's day! I absolutely love how this recipe is filled with protein but void of most sugar! Plus, Andes mints are always a nice touch:-) Thanks for sharing, Kaylin!

I'm still trying to chose a protein power that best for my body and also losing some weight when I don't have much time to workout. I think casein Protein is good enough for me, I really love milk but I know drink alot is not good either.
