"Everything in moderation” - The Protein Chef

How The Protein Chef Started

It all started in the beginning of 2009 when Derek created The Protein Chef to offer his original, quick, healthy, and affordable recipes to his clients.

Before the launch of The Protein Chef he was quickly realizing that getting his clients to workout wasn’t the issue, it was getting them to stick to a diet.

Wanting to reach a larger audience he decided to start uploading his recipes in video form to YouTube and soon after, the new YouTube schedule was born!

These recipes now include high protein desserts, snacks, sides, and meals that can all be found on this website or his YouTube.

He also created The Protein Chef to offer his opinion on health and fitness related topics based on over a decade of personal experience.

The Protein Chef Baking Protein

Derek Howes created this super simple and affordable Baking Protein with the help of Labrada Nutrition.

The goals of this protein were to be free of artificial ingredients, have no fillers, and to have limited flavoring which are the root causes of a failed baking recipe.

All of these goals were accomplished!

This powder was a limited release that made it onto shelves at Vitamin Shoppe, on Bodybuilding.com, and inside many supplement shops around the world!
