    I'm eating mine at the moment. I made chocolate caramel cheese cake with whipped cream tonight! My best so far.

    I really want this recipe.

    Ingredients: 20g ON Gold Standard chocolate casein powder
    6g xanthan gum
    1 serving Jello-0 cheesecake mix
    stevia
    4-8 cubes crushed ice
    2-4 oz of water
    Walden Farms pancake, chocolate, and caramel syrup
    Fat free reddiwhip

    Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl, along with a couple oz of water. Mix on low until mixture is wet, add some ice and increase speed, add water and ice slowly over the next minute then blast it on high for a good 10 minutes.

    I added stevia and all the syrups towards the end once it was fluffed but kept fluffing. I was generous with the amount. Top with fat free reddiwhip, 10 g.

    As far as liquid goes you have to use your judgement. Before I used ice I used to use 8 oz of water, I cut it to 2-4 with ice.

    i never even heard about it till i read about it here a bit back. although i cannot get it to come out fluffy, it still is a delicious soft ice cream like treat. i like to use 100% cocoa powder instead of protein powder sometimes too.

    What kind of protein powder are you using? I used one scoop Trutein vanilla (it is a blended whey, casein, and egg protein) half a cup of 1% milk and 120 grams of frozen strawberries. I mixed it with my kitchen aid mixer came out really fluffy.


    i only use hemp protein powder. i used it with unsweeten vanilla almond milk and frozen fruits to make fluff but, from reading replies, i guess my hemp protein powder is probably why i never get any real fluffiness.. i like vanilla so going to amazon now to order the Trutein vanilla you use.

    EDIT: they had trutein sample sizes on amazon so i got five different ones to try instead of buying 2lbs of the vanilla first. i was happy to see the vanilla is actually vanilla bean (my favorite vanilla) so i should like it if its not too chalky tasting. Can't wait to try a real 'fluffy' protein fluff now. thanks for sharing :)

    What flavors did you get? I have had the red velvet (amazing) and the vanilla also very good. I really want to try the birthday cake and their seasonal flavor shamrock shake.

    well the banana cream was yuck! it had a chemical like aftertaste so noticable that i ended up throwing 3/4 of the fluff out. it did however come out reallyyyy fluffy, that made me happy :) i used your measurements of one scoop/pack, 1/2 cup milk and 120grams of frozen fruit (bananas since it was banana cream), will keep using these measurements with next flavors, it made quite a bit..

    I'm sorry you didn't like it. I never had the banana flavor one. I weighted out the powder to be 30 grams which says it's a serving. Maybe try that. I hope you don't give up on the fluff because of that bad experience. Let me know if you try any of the other flavors.

    Whoa, I just made a batch with 140g frozen strawberries, 1 scoop vanilla ON casein, 1 cup milk, and 1/8tsp xanthan gum. That stuff is awesome. But way too filling. I just threw what I couldn't eat into half pint jars in the freezer. I figure the xanthan gum will stabilize it.

    Haha. Cutting food. I can eat it all up! I heard it doesn't freeze well and deflates. Lets us know!

    lol. I have to make mine poverty style with a broken hand mixer. I might get a cheap stand mixer because it really is kind of a pain to stand there for 10-15 minutes. But then again, I probably won't eat this very often in maintenance or a bulk.

    The vitamix was a splurge after lusting over them for years, but my grandma got me the kitchen aid for our last birthday before she died. So it's a basic one, but very useful and sentimental.

    Tried this first time last night and really loved it. Next time-- use a bigger bowl-- it was flying over the top! I used 1/4 cup 30 cal almond milk, half frozen banana, 1/4 cup chocolate protein and 1/2 tsp gum stuff. Oh and a little PB2!

    Did your PB2 come through? I have a hard time getting the peanut butter taste to come out and then it's just a waste of calories.

    Agree PB2 flavor not intense and waste of calories! Maybe with vanilla protein would have had more PB taste.

    Update on the frozen fluff. While it was frozen it still stayed fluffed, and because it was fluffed it was edible. When thawed it went back to pudding like. I could have probably re whipped it but I just drank it like a thick shake.

    I just got some xanthan gum, but misread the recipe I was using and put in 5g instead of 1/2 g.... it didn't end well. :/

    I just made my first successful protein fluff yesterday (I've tried several times). One recipe I tried had too much milk (a cup), so it came out like a thick milkshake. Another had too much PB powder (2 T), so it came out like gritty pudding. But this one worked perfectly! I really like that it wasn't super sweet (most desserts are just too sweet for me):

    40 g casein powder (2 scoops from my giant tub)
    100 mL milk
    200 g frozen strawberries
    .25 tsp xanthan gum


    1) Nuke the strawberries for 1 min, mash with a fork
    2) Add the milk
    3) Blend with a hand blender for a minute
    4) Add the casein, blend for a minute
    5) Add the xanthan, blend for another ~3 minutes

    By this time, it was so thick I really couldn't blend it anymore. By comparison, with the other recipes I had tried I was blending for 10 minutes and it never really got thick.

    Another tip: keep a pair of earplugs in the kitchen!

    Does more gum make it fluffier? I've been adding 1/4 tsp but not sure if I should add more.

    Question, do you need to add frozen fruit? can you just do the protein, xanthan gum and almond, or cashew milk? Is the frozen fruit necessary for the fluffing?

    No. I just started adding fruit. I don't like wasting my calories on fruit...BUT, I am finding the fruit makes it a little thicker and chills it a bit. Not necessary though.
