Protein butter: A way to eat whey with a spoon!

Hey all,

This is my first post here but I have been following the AskScooby forum and Scooby's Workshop since August.  I had always been in moderately good shape but never put forth a concerted effort to gain muscle.  The forum and Scooby convinced me that one of the requirements of gaining muscle is to take in a serving of protein at several times during the day. 

Due to the nature of my job I have a difficult time eating regular small meals/snacks.  I found one thing that worked was keeping a jar of peanut butter in the fridge helped as I could quickly grab a spoonful of peanut butter with little to prepare or cleanup.  Unfortunately you have to eat a lot of calories of peanut butter to get the protein needed.  So I came up with this!


Protein Butter

I have 1-2 spoonfuls of this if I don't have time for a small meal or if I just need a snack.  I still do protein shakes/bars and regular, balanced meals but this helps when I need something quick.

Ingredients:
3tbsp butter
3tbsp peanut butter
2tbsp coconut oil
~2tsp vanilla extract
~1tsp stevia
~1/2 cup walnuts, crushed/chopped
8 scoops protein powder (30g each)
1/2 cup Almond/Soy/Milk

Directions:

Put a medium sized pot on low on stove

Add:
  butter
  peanut butter
  coconut oil

Heat/stir until melted

Add:
  vanilla extract
  stevia
  walnuts

Stir

Add:
  protein powder

Stir

Add:
  Almond/Soy/Milk

Stir
Adjust to taste.
Refrigerate


Depending on the brand/variety of ingredients used the entire mixture has 2110 calories, 135 grams of fat, 30 grams of carbs, and 220 grams of protein.  That makes approximately 37% calories from protein, 56% from fat, and 7% from carbs.  If you are concerned about carbs you could cut the butter/coconut oil/peanut butter in half and just add another half cup of milk to get a similar (but less tasty) consistency.

Enjoy!

Sounds delicious.  I can imagine pouring this into cube molds and using it just like regular butter.  I'm salivating all over my keyboard.

Sir, I'm going to need you to control yourself.
