Prep time: 5 mins | Blend time: 5 mins | Servings: 1
Ingredients
1 scoop (30 g) vanilla whey or casein protein powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum or guar gum (essential for texture)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 1/2 to 2 cups crushed ice
1–2 tbsp zero-calorie liquid sweetener or stevia (to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Combine Liquids & Powder: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, vanilla protein powder, xanthan gum, liquid sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Add Ice: Add the crushed ice on top of the liquid ingredients.
3. Blend & Whip: Blend on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides if necessary. The mixture will expand significantly in volume and transform into a thick, ultra-fluffy, soft-serve ice cream consistency.
4. Serve: Spoon or pipe the whipped fluff into a glass or jar and enjoy immediately with a spoon.
