Protein Baked Goods – Copycat Lemon Loaf

Our partners at Ascent Protein have a wide range of protein options. One of their Whey Protein products is a Lemon Sorbet Flavor. Other than simply mixing with water, here is another way to get the protein in. This loaf has 50g of protein, so depending on how many servings / slices you create, you could get anywhere from 8-12g per serving.
