Description

Protein Fluff is a light and airy high-protein snack or dessert made by blending protein powder with almond milk, xanthan gum, and ice. This quick and easy recipe creates a fluffy, satisfying treat that can be customized with your favorite sweeteners and toppings like fresh berries or nut butter. Perfect for a nutritious boost anytime.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 scoop protein powder (whey, casein, or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Optional Ingredients

  • Sweetener to taste (such as stevia or honey)
  • Toppings like fresh berries, nut butter, or granola


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, xanthan gum, and ice cubes to a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend: Blend on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes fluffy, expanding to nearly three times its original volume.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the fluff and add optional sweetener if desired, blending briefly again to incorporate.
  4. Serve: Scoop the protein fluff into a large bowl and top with your choice of fresh berries, nut butter, or granola. Enjoy immediately for best texture.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use casein protein powder or a blend of whey and casein.
  • If xanthan gum is unavailable, omit it; the fluff will be less airy but still tasty.
  • Substitute ice cubes with frozen fruit to add flavor and nutrients.
