Ingredients
Scale
Protein Base
- 1 scoop protein powder (any flavor)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
Fruit & Thickeners
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries or frozen banana slices
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (or guar gum)
Optional
- Ice cubes (for thicker texture)
- Sweetener to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender or food processor, add 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 cup of frozen mixed berries or frozen banana slices, and ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk. This forms the base for your protein fluff.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes mostly smooth, ensuring the frozen fruit breaks down sufficiently for a creamy texture.
- Add Thickener: Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum (or guar gum) and continue blending for an additional 1–2 minutes. This helps the mixture become thick and fluffy.
- Adjust Texture: If you prefer a thicker, more voluminous fluff, add a few ice cubes and blend again until fully incorporated and fluffy.
- Sweeten to Taste: Taste the fluff and add sweetener if desired. Blend briefly to combine any added sweetener evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the protein fluff into a bowl and enjoy immediately with a spoon for the best light and airy texture.
Notes
- Use a casein or blended protein powder for best fluff volume; whey isolate tends to produce less fluff.
- Frozen fruit can be substituted with crushed ice for a lower-carb option.
- Top your protein fluff with nut butter, granola, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
