10 Protein Bake Mix Recipes: Pancakes, Pizza, Brownies & More
By Dogus Dilan, Herbalife Independent Wellness Coach · Last updated 12 August 2026 · 8 min read
Ten official Herbalife recipes built around Protein Bake Mix, from a two-ingredient pancake to savoury mini pizzas, brownies and cupcakes. Every recipe below is taken directly from Herbalife’s own Protein Bake Mix Recipe Book, with the exact quantities and the calculated nutrition per serving as published — nothing estimated. Two recipes from the original collection (Blueberry Traybake and Mushroom & Tomato Loaf) have been removed, as they relied on Formula 1 Sport and Formula 1 Savoury Meal, both discontinued. For the full ingredient and allergen breakdown of the mix itself, see our Protein Bake Mix guide.

Mini Vegetable Pizzas
A savoury use for Protein Bake Mix — a proper yeasted dough base topped with courgette, olives and sweetcorn.
Ingredients
- 48g Protein Bake Mix
- 3g fast-action dried yeast
- 35ml semi-skimmed milk
- 20g bread/strong flour, to dust (or gluten-free alternative)
- 2 tbsp passata
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 30g reduced fat grated mozzarella, thinly sliced
- ¼ (80g) courgette, chopped
- 4 olives, sliced
- 20g sweetcorn
- Sea salt and black pepper
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the Protein Bake Mix and yeast. Warm the milk in a cup in the microwave for 10 seconds, or until room temperature. Mix the milk into the dry ingredients and stir for 1 minute. Scrape the mixture down until it is one mound with a spatula. Cover the bowl with an airtight wrap and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6 and line an oven tray with baking paper. Dust a clean work surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll into balls with your hands. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll the balls out to around a 10cm circle, dusting with flour as you go. Transfer the circles to the baking paper.
- Spoon a tablespoon of passata onto each pizza and spread it with the back of a spoon to the edges. Rip the basil leaves into small pieces and scatter on top of the passata, then season with salt and pepper. Top each pizza with equal amounts of the mozzarella, courgette, olives and sweetcorn. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the pizza is golden and the cheese is melted. Serve, or cool and chill to be eaten cold.

Brownie
A fudgy brownie combining Protein Bake Mix with Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength and dark chocolate — cut into sixteen pieces.
Ingredients
- 50g low-fat spread
- 35g soft brown sugar
- 96g Herbalife Nutrition Protein Bake Mix
- 100g Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength Chocolate
- 200ml semi-skimmed milk
- 35g 85% dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 16g cocoa powder
- 1 egg
Equipment: Baking paper, 20cm square cake tin
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas 3 and line the cake tin with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat spread with the soft brown sugar until completely combined. Stir in the cocoa, Protein Bake Mix and Rebuild Strength powders, along with the milk.
- In a microwaveable bowl, melt the chocolate for 1 minute 30 seconds, or until you can mix it smooth. Stir the chocolate into the batter and whisk in the egg. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the top is set and fluffed up but the filling is still liquid underneath. Pierce the top a couple of times with a knife, then allow to cool in the tin.
- Remove the brownie from the tin and baking paper, then cut into sixteen pieces. Keep for up to 4 days in the fridge, or wrap individually and freeze — defrost in the fridge before eating.

Chocolate Biscuits
A simple, crisp chocolate biscuit combining Protein Bake Mix with Formula 1 Smooth Chocolate.
Ingredients
- 96g (4 servings) Herbalife Nutrition Protein Bake Mix
- 104g (4 servings) Herbalife Nutrition F1 Smooth Chocolate flavour
- 50g coconut sugar
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100ml semi-skimmed milk
- 50g low-fat spread
- Baking paper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4 and line a large oven tray with baking paper. In a large bowl, combine the Protein Bake Mix, F1 Chocolate, bicarbonate of soda and milk. Stir thoroughly until smooth.
- Mix the low-fat spread into the mixture. Scoop around 2 tbsp of the mixture into your hands and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared sheet and press down with your fingers to make a biscuit shape. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, setting each biscuit at least 2cm apart.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes until set and crisp. Allow to cool on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Shortbread
A firm, triangle-cut shortbread combining Protein Bake Mix with Protein Drink Mix.
Ingredients
- 96g Protein Bake Mix
- 112g Protein Drink Mix
- 50g wholemeal flour, plus extra to dust
- 100g reduced fat margarine (e.g. Lighter Flora), melted
- 70ml semi-skimmed milk
Equipment: 20cm round oven tin
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas mark 3 and line the bottom of the tin with baking paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Protein Bake Mix, Protein Drink Mix and flour. Mix in the melted margarine, then stir in the milk gradually. Bring the mixture together into a dough by kneading for 1 minute — it should be firm but sticky.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin. Dip a metal spoon in a small cup of water or milk and use it to smooth down the mixture to fill the tin evenly. Using the tines of a fork dusted in flour, make a pattern around the edge of the shortbread by pushing the tines in. Score four lines from one end of the tin to the other at equal intervals, creating eight triangles, then prick each triangle with a fork to make a spotty pattern.
- Bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for 15–20 minutes, until golden, then allow to cool in the tin. Cut along the scored lines to create the triangle pieces.
