Protein Fluff Milkshake

Ingredients

• 150 g frozen fruit (such as strawberries or mixed berries)
• 30 g protein powder (whey or casein works best for fluffing)
• 100 ml milk of choice (dairy or plant-based milk)
• 0.5 tsp Xanthan gum (essential for the fluffy texture)

Steps

1. 1

   Place 150g of frozen fruit into a high-speed blender or food processor.

2. 2

   Add 30g of protein powder, 100ml of milk, and approximately half a teaspoon of xanthan gum to the blender.

3. 3

   Pulse or blend on low speed initially to break down the frozen fruit into smaller pieces.

4. 4

   Increase the speed to high and blend for 2-3 minutes. The mixture will begin to aerate and significantly increase in volume as the xanthan gum and protein powder create the 'fluff' texture.

5. 5

   Continue blending until the mixture is thick, smooth, and has roughly doubled or tripled in size.

6. 6

   Transfer the protein fluff to a large bowl or glass and serve immediately while cold.

Notes

For the best results, use a powerful blender. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a tiny splash more milk, but be careful not to add too much or it won't fluff up. Casein protein typically produces a thicker fluff than whey.
