@GottaBurnEmAll -- if it's just the xantham gum that bothers you, leave it out. It seems to work just as well. As for raw vegetables, that's sad. Sorry. Don't like Cole slaw, but I don't think I could live without salad
Is this fluff or ice cream? I haven't bothered with fluff since I started making the protein ice cream since I like the ice cream much better. I never tried the fluff without the gum before.
I make the ice cream without the xantham all the time.
It's just the idea of chia fluff sounds intriguing.0 -
It was "ice cream". The blender doesn't work for me, so I use my food processor. It only holds a half batch -- so 1/2 scoop quest, XL cup ice crushed ice cubes and 1/3 (or so) almond milk. Today I'm doing salted caramel with some crushed pretzels on top and/or mint Chocolate chip. Can't get enough of this stuff.2

Oh, awesome. I'm definitely going to try lemon/chia ice cream.0

Hm. I tried that ice cream recipe and didn't get the volume of a mixing bowl. My fluff gets it but it seemed like you guys were claiming the ice cream one gets that high too. Admittedly, the texture is better than fluff. I must need to perfect it.
I did a caramel snickerdoodle "ice cream". Pretty good.
What ingredients did you use for the caramel snickerdoodle flavor? That sounds gooood.
I almost bought Walden farms syrup for the first time the other day but I was afraid it would be gross and I would've wasted $4 so I put it back.
Last time I got a super low calorie syrup (chocolate, some off brand), it was so disgusting and chemical tasting. I threw it out. I think I'm traumatized from that now.0 -

I can't handle super low calorie chocolate syrup, but the Hershey's Lite Syrup is pretty indistinguishable from regular Hershey's syrup for half the calories. It's what I use.1 -
I ordered a sampler of this brand of Snickerdoodle-- well, I actually ordered one of every flavor. It gets good reviews for making protein ice cream. It's a whey/casien combo.

PS - the syrup (of any flavor) is for added sweetness, but not required to get it to fluff.2 -
so...the protein fluff...is it a whipped texture, or firmer like an ice cream? I don't like the texture of mousse, and whipped cream type items, but if the fluff is creamier I'd def give it a go...looks delicious!0
-
The protein ice cream is creamy.
Protein fluff is marshmallowy and you wouldn't like it.2 -

Eat this immediately, I halved the portion (its huge) and froze 1/2 right after I made it to see how it freezes. I might half the recipe next time because it's a lot!
I added these amounts but here's mine in the order I add to the mixer (not a blender):

Blend on high for 6-8 minutes. Stop and stir a little, and scrape down the sides of the mixer, and repeat. Mix for another 5 minutes. It will thicken very much!

While Mixing It thickened quickly
After I stopped Mixing..you can see its thick on the beaters
After being frozen for about 45mins-hour
I used the giant mixing bowl and then ate out of it
Enjoy
That looks good, but does it have a lot of flavor? Every time I've made fluff it has hardly no flavor & I even add in sweetener.
I've made the protein ice cream twice so far & will definitely be making it again since I can't afford Halo Top all the time.
I added too much ice yesterday & it turned out kind of soupy, but it was still delicious.
Once I get through most of my Trutein I'll purchase sample packs of the Quest powders.0 -
Omg - I simultaneously love you and hate you all for introducing me to protein fluff/ice cream (not sure which one I actually made) - 1 sample pack Quest PB, 1 tray of ice cubes, 1/4 cup SF syrup and 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt mixed with some water since I didn't have any milk on hand. There was SO MUCH VOLUME! I wasn't prepared for it all! Too many promises in the past that never came to fruition had me super cautious here that I would see results.
As you all can relate, given the theme of this thread, I can probably count on one hand how many times I've turned down one more bite of food from being "too full" this year. This protein fluff literally had me tapping out half way through the bowl! I put the rest in the freezer in hopes that I will like the slightly colder version as dessert. Holy crap - I wasn't expecting to feel this full on fluff!!!
So, thanks for sharing the recipe and advice on how to prep.

haha I love your post. You made protein ice cream. Made in a blender or food processor and have witnessed the magic
Fluff is the stuff that they are making with the mixers/beaters and there is no ice in it to my knowledge. It's like whipped carbonated air with a marshmallow texture? I don't know but I wasn't a fan of it.
It's ice cream for this girl, all the ice cream!!! It's SO much volume I just can't get enough of it

Ice cream fluff #2 of the day, Girl Scouts Thin Mint. Used Quest cookies and cream with peppermint extract (a little goes a LONG way). Later, if im up for it, red velvet. Plan is to use chocolate brownie batter powder with a bit of red food coloring with a dollop of birthday cake flavored whipped Greek yogurt as the "cream cheese" icing.2

Gah! Do let me know how the Thin Mint turns out! Once I run out of my mint choc chip pp I'm not going to reorder because although it taste amazing I don't get as much volume out of it. (and my inner fat girl wants as much as she can get)
And that red velvet sounds amazing too!1 -

That is probably the best description I've ever read of it.
There can be ice in it, but by the time you whip it, any effect the ice has had on it gets whipped out. You still end up with that marshmallowy texture. I stopped using it after a while in hopes of having more flavor because I figured ice was diluting the taste. It didn't help.

Cookies and cream with mint extract is GENIUS. My IBS is flaring right now so even the teeny bit of xantham gum in the protein powder is a no-go. No protein ice cream for me for a while.
I'm taking notes to remember all this for when I'm feeling better because I will definitely be making that one. It sounds like a good stand in for mint-chocolate chip ice cream, which was one of my favorites.1 -
My mess o'lunch. Shallot , carrot, eggplant, tomato, broccoli, cabbage, bell pepper, riced cauli and sweet potato frozen mix, sausage and some gochujang. Threw some kimchi on top too. 350 cals. This is my larger meal today, I have a skate night tonight so will have a bunch more food yet but smaller and more frequent.

It's definitely interesting haha
Aww gotcha. I can tell some are confused between the fluff and the ice cream so hopefully this helps clear up the confusion.

Omg I must try the "thin mint"!! I almost bought a tub of quest's cookies & cream but I'm scared I won't like it, so I'm waiting until I can get a sample packet from GNC to make sure.0 -

I use ice in my fluff. It fluffs better and then it isn't a gross room temp when done. Only a little bit though.2 -

That was my first run with protein fluff. Personally, I think I could have added more sweetener to make it a sweeter flavor. Perhaps a syrup (i.e., Walden Farm's Chocolate Syrup?) I didn't use any ice, just the root beer, and the carbonation made it fluff up a lot/2 -
Question: do blenders or mixers generally work better to make fluff? I have both a Ktichenaid stand mixer and one of those cheap Ninja maragita-maker-type blenders, and I'm wondering which one I should use when I try to make fluff for the first time. Protein is pricey, and I would much rather not end up wasting it while trying to figure out the best way to make this stuff.0

I only watched a few youtubers make it and none used any but that makes perfect sense. Pretty smart actually!0 -
So I made the ice cream, and froze it. It froze solid overnight. I was going to chuck it but I left it out on the counter as I went to do laundry. Came back in 20 minutes, it softened up beautifully. The next day, with another portion, I simply came home from work, took a portion out of the freezer, changed, showered and it was ready waiting there for me
That's awesome!0 -

A portion for me is the entire bowl from the food processor. No, seriously--I eat it right from the food processor bowl.6 -
I've been making Fro-tein for years now. Love it! Never really satisfies me though... I get full from the volume for like 2 minutes and then I'm hungry again. I prefer solid foods - love my crack slaw with ground turkey!2

I am so glad I am not the only one. I was relieved when I found out that my small meals during the day then my HUGE HUGE VEGGIE FILLED MEAL at night was actually ok and not a big deal. I am excited to see what ideas others have!1

I grabbed xantham gum at Whole Foods yesterday. Didn't find any casein protein, but I think my Ralph's had some and I'll see after the gym this morning. Fluff ahoy!1
