Protein Fluff Extreme

If you love ice cream but rather avoid processed sugars, this recipe will change your life! Double so if you work out because it is a great post workout meal. I usually make a very large portion. Most recipes I've seen on the Internet call for half the amounts, so just divide everything by 2 if you are going for a "normal" amount.

The most important ingredient here is the protein powder. I don't want to recommend any particular kind but it took some experimentation until I found some that work well. An ideal powder will dissolve easily and have the sweeteners that you prefer. I usually go for a powder that is naturally sweetened with stevia, not sugar and definitely not artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. If you eat it at night (like me) and also work out then egg protein powder or casein protein powder are a good idea. They break down slower than whey protein so your body will be able to absorb them over the night.

Source: just google "protein fluff"
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 2-3 minutes
Yields: about a pint

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of your favorite frozen fruits in chunks (I like berries, mango, grapes, figs, pears, bananas...)
  • 2 scoops protein power, about 50g
  • ⅓ cup water, milk, or any liquid

Instructions:
  1. In a large bowl, put the fruits first, then powder, then water.
  2. Mash thing up manually with an immersion (hand held) blender without running it. This is that the mixture won't go flying off.
  3. After you mashed it up a bit, run the immersion blender for about 2 minutes. Blend more than you think. It should all be super smooth and all the feels from the fruits should be completely broken down.
  4. If you are feeling extra fluffy, use the whisker attachment to fluff it out more! This has a tendency to increase volume so if you are hungry but don't want a full portion then this will make a smaller one more filling.
This recipe has changed my life. Seriously. You will know what I am talking about once you try it. If you like, please leave a comment and share your spin on this recipe!
