    @pinggolfer96 , obviously it was a food challenge, so it has to have the prize? What did you win?


    T-shirt and the meal lol. And then I won some self pride and great photos for Instagram in just completing it😂😂 not serious on that part really lol but T-shirt and a meal.

    You should have gotten two T-shirts for finishing your families meals too...oh, and the bacon too :D
    (you remind me of my brother at your age...man, could he 'put it away' - He always started and ended his day with a box of cereal and milk and would eat X-Lrg. homemade fully loaded pizzas and the like all day it seemed. He looked like you too! Now he's in his mid fifties and is overweight...)

    Don't get me wrong, I probably could finish it. Loli can plow through some food. Talking to a man who eats 2-3 lbs of veggies some days.

    My lunch has more than 3 lbs of veggies, lol. Plus dinner. Sometimes even breakfast. Is stretched stomach a real thing? Ugh

    Thats child's play.

    Well as 2lbs of meat on top of that some days, I don't count the potatoes as veggies either. Lol

    wonk...wonk...my protein fluff, tried making today -chocolate flavored and it was editable, but not anything like what is appears it suppose to be:( I did use diet pepsi and splenda and whey protein as was as some cocoa powder. i felt like I kept having to double the dose of xanthin gum and still didn't come out so well:( I also tried it with out the splenda and almond milk and used sprite zero and again mixed for 10-15 minutes with poor results also...??ugzo3maz3o0i.jpg

    I can't do the protein fluff. It always turned out gross for me. The protein ice cream is amazing though. I still eat that every night!

    I use a Ninja too.
    I start with a bunch of ice..enough to just cover the tops of the blades. Blend and turn it into snow. Scrape it down and add 60ml(1/4 cup) sugar free pancake syrup and about 6 oz of cashew milk. Blend and scrape. Add 3g of xanthan gum and 28g protein powder. Blend and scrape. Then I do a splash of sugar free/calorie free syrup and blend until it becomes big and fluffy. I usually top with a dash of sea salt, sugar free chocolate syrup and some more sugar free syrup.

    No, tofu ones! I usually hate tofu noodles and cant stand the smell or texture. I've been against them for years after originally trying them and eating them a few times. I found these had no fishy smell and were much better in texture than other brands I've tried. I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe all brands have improved since I used to buy them 2 years ago. 59uxorhb6q0i.jpg

    For me they are on the shelf. But when I bring them home they go into the fridge.
    You can easily buy them from lowcarbcanada.ca web site. I also think they have a store out west.

    Thanks 'Crazy'!

    Ahh! I don't know?! Maybe the blades come up higher on your model...making it too much ice? Did you add the exact amounts of the other ingredients (besides adding the extra syrup)? I make 2 batches of it every night and do it the exact same way every time. It always comes out like a big bowl of delicious soft serve!

    Has anyone tried making protein fluff with plant-based protein powders? Does it work?

    Same question. I've only seen people say it wouldn't work but never feedback if anyone ever tried to do it.

    I think it works better actually. Dependent upon the protein but mine makes it thicker than whey/ casein!

    Wow really?! Thanks for letting us know because I've always heard people saying it wouldn't work because non-whey won't "fluff" well, but never seen someone try. If you try it @hcdo please share how it turns out and I will do the same!

    Fluffing is done by introduction of Xantham gum. This is what adds the volume.

    Okay, so I use...

    - 1 serving powder
    - 0.5cup silk cashew vanilla
    - 0.25cup walden farms pancake syrup
    - 0.5tsp xantham gum

    First with a tray of ice I blend until like snow and then add all of the add ins and blend? How long do I blend for to get it to whip? How long do you guys usually blend each step for? Is there a post with a detailed recipe in this thread somewhere? I am afraid to try and fail, lol. Is it better to use a food processor or vitamix blender or hand mixer?

    Sorry to ask you guys to repeat your recipes if you posted, but you guys have it perfected so I want to follow it exactly.
