Protein Fluff I made my first ever batch of protein fluff over the weekend! It was pretty cool.  It tastes good and it does fill you up, and fast!  I got a good recipe from The Spartan Warrior but didn’t have casein powder (I do now though) so I used a recipe that called for whey.  I’m not sure if it makes that much of a difference but some people say that casein powder makes it fluffier. The recipe I used comes from andreality’s wordpress blog. Here’s the recipe: You will need: A large mixing bowl 1 cup of frozen berries splash of milk potato masher, immersion blender, or sturdy fork to mash berries 1 scoop of protein powder electric beaters or a stand mixer Instructions: In a large bowl, combine frozen berries and enough milk to facilitate mashing. With a potato masher or other mashing device, mash the berries until they are mushy Add in your favorite-tasting protein powder.   Mix together the berry mash and the protein powder with a fork. Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the mixture for at least 5 minutes. If it’s too dry and the beaters are just moving stuff around rather than homogenizing it, add a bit more milk.  After a while it will turn pink and puff up to roughly twice its original volume.  Stop when you notice that the mixture is not changing color or volume any more Eat that fluff I’m definitely going to experiment with other flavors this week. Chocolate? Chocolate PB? PB & J? Cinnamon Raisin? YUM

Protein Fluff

I made my first ever batch of protein fluff over the weekend! It was pretty cool.  It tastes good and it does fill you up, and fast! 

I got a good recipe from The Spartan Warrior but didn’t have casein powder (I do now though) so I used a recipe that called for whey.  I’m not sure if it makes that much of a difference but some people say that casein powder makes it fluffier.

The recipe I used comes from andreality’s wordpress blog.

Here’s the recipe:

You will need:

  • A large mixing bowl
  • 1 cup of frozen berries
  • splash of milk
  • potato masher, immersion blender, or sturdy fork to mash berries
  • 1 scoop of protein powder
  • electric beaters or a stand mixer

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine frozen berries and enough milk to facilitate mashing.
  2. With a potato masher or other mashing device, mash the berries until they are mushy
  3. Add in your favorite-tasting protein powder.  
  4. Mix together the berry mash and the protein powder with a fork.
  5. Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the mixture for at least 5 minutes.

  6. Eat that fluff

Protein Pudding Pies

I created these wonderful things today and I am so excited about them.  They taste great and they are an awesome dessert that is pretty high in protein and fairly low in carbs and fat but you can always tweak the macros to your liking.

I made a Chocolate version and a Vanilla and experimented with the amount of protein.

Filling Ingredients:

  • 3 servings of Jello Pudding Mix (Whatever flavor you like. The box I used had 6 servings in it)
  • 1/2 cup of Almond Milk
  • 1/2 - 1 scoop of protein powder (This is person preference. I found that my protein powder didn’t change the taste whether I used 1/2 or 1 whole scoop but different powders are different. You also may or may not need to add more Almond milk if you use more protein powder. You could use chocolate or vanilla flavor depending on which pudding flavor you use. I used vanilla for both.)

Crust Ingredients:

For the crust I used one of my protein pancakes and baked in a bowl with a smaller bowl on top of it to get it into a pie crust shape and to make it a little crisper.  It worked great!  You could  also use real pie crusts

  • 1/4 cup egg whites
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • cinnamon
  • (makes 2 pancakes/pie crusts)

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Mix all of the filling ingredients together for about 2 minutes 
  2. Bake the pancake in a bowl with a smaller bowl on top in a toaster oven at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes 
  3. Put the filling in the crust
  4. Top with your choice of toppings (slivered almonds, berries, peanut butter, etc.) 
  5. Put in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill 
  6. EAT ;)

That’s it! Let me know what you think! It’s pretty easy to do. Especially if you have the pancakes pre-made.

The macros will be highly variable depending on what brands you use but for example, for 1 pie mine are: 

  • Calories ~ 235 (1/2 scoop protein powder) or 280 (1 scoop)
  • Protein - 24g (1/2 scoop protein powder) or 33g (1 scoop)
  • Carbs - ~21g
  • Fat - 2g

Here is the Jello mix I used:

Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup egg whites
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/8 cup pumpkin
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground cloves
  • ground nutmeg

Topping Options:

Mix everything in a small bowl and then pour onto a griddle or small frying pan.  Cook over medium-low heat and flip once bubbles come through.

Makes 1 serving.  

There you go! Have fun with this one.  The pumpkin adds a nice flavor and extra softness to the pancakes.  It’s like the taste of Fall!
