***The Shaklee Instant Protein is specifically designed for cooking and will not break down or change in structure.  It has 15 g protein per 2 Tbsp. I use this almost daily in whatever I am cooking. It can be put in muffins, cornbread, salad dressing, spaghetti sauce, cookies, cakes, or any other baked goods.  When I make cookies, for example, it calls for 2 cups of flour. I put close to 1 cup of flour in these.  This adds 120 g or Organic protein.  Furthermore, all of Shaklee’s proteins are complete, meaning, they have all 9 of the essential amino acids that your body needs every day, yet can’t produce on their own. These are the building blocks for most functions in your body.
