Homemade Protein + Fiber-Rich Powder Blend

Looking for a clean, wholesome and simple way to boost your protein intake?

Commercial protein powders are often made from highly processed isolates. They may offer protein, but they typically lack fiber, antioxidants, healthy fats, and key minerals. Many are also packed with artificial additives, excess sodium, non-caloric sweeteners, unwanted fillers and preservatives, which can work against your body’s natural balance.

That’s why we created this simple, nourishing Homemade Protein + Fiber Blend  — made entirely from whole food ingredients with no additives, preservatives, or isolates.

This simple homemade blend combines green lentils, black lentils (whole urad dal), flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds — lightly roasted and ground with a touch of cardamom for gentle aroma and digestive comfort.

🌟 Bonus Nutrients You’re Getting:

• ✅ Omega-3 fatty acids (from flaxseeds)

• ✅ Zinc and Magnesium (especially from pumpkin seeds)

• ✅ Potassium, phosphorus, and B vitamins (from lentils)

• ✅ Lignans (from flaxseeds – support hormone balance)

• ✅ Antioxidants + phytosterols (pumpkin seeds + legumes)

• ✅The cardamom adds a gentle, aromatic flavour and boosts the antioxidant profile while aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and supporting respiratory and oral health

It’s great for:

• Stirring into soups, curries, khichdi, or porridges

• Mixing into pancake, dosa, roti or cheela batter

• Boosting smoothies or savoury oats

• Adding to your post-workout bowl

🔥 Method

1. Lightly roast the whole urad dal on low heat in a dry pan for 3–4 minutes, stirring gently until aromatic. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same pan, roast the green lentils on low-medium heat for 3–4 minutes. Stir continuously. Set aside to cool.

3. Next, toast the flaxseeds for 2–3 minutes on low heat. Flaxseeds can pop slightly — keep stirring. Remove and cool.

4. Roast the pumpkin seeds gently for 1–2 minutes until they puff and smell nutty.

5. Let all ingredients cool completely.

6. Using a coffee grinder or high-speed blender, grind each ingredient separately to a fine powder.

7. Combine all powders in a bowl, add the cardamom powder, and mix thoroughly.

8. Store in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dry place.
