How to Make Protein Chips

Step 1: Make the Dough

In a bowl, mix the protein powder, almond flour, and seasonings. Add egg whites and water gradually, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

Step 2: Roll It Out

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out as thin as possible. The thinner the dough, the crispier the chips!

Step 3: Cut and Bake

Cut the dough into chip-sized pieces using a knife or pizza cutter. Transfer to a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Step 4: Cool and Enjoy

Let the chips cool completely before eating to get that perfect crunch. Serve with your favorite dip or enjoy them as-is!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Roll the Dough Super Thin – The thinner the dough, the crispier the chips will be.
• Use Parchment Paper – This prevents sticking and makes rolling out the dough much easier.
• Let Them Cool Completely – They continue to crisp up as they cool.
• Experiment with Flavors – Try adding ranch seasoning, cheese powder, or even a hint of cayenne for extra flavor.

How to Serve

• With Dips – Enjoy with guacamole, hummus, or Greek yogurt-based dips.
• As a Side – Pair with a protein-packed sandwich or a salad for a balanced meal.
• Snack on the Go – Pack them in a small container for a healthy, crunchy snack anytime!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Reheating

If they lose their crunch, pop them in a 300°F oven for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
