Protein Marshmallows

Ingredients

• 2 cup fat free milk (Fairlife brand recommended)
• 5 tbsp gelatin
• 3 scoop whey isolate protein powder (Isolates work best; not all protein powders will work)
• 0.25 cup zero calorie sweetener (Granulated Swerve recommended; use up to 1/2 cup depending on preference)
• zero calorie powdered sugar (For topping/coating)

Steps

1. 1

   Pour the milk into a saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the top. Let it sit (bloom) for about 5-10 minutes.

2. 2

   Place the saucepan over low heat and whisk occasionally until the mixture goes from thick and gloopy to a thin, runny liquid consistency.

3. 3

   Remove the mixture from the heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Using a whisk attachment on high speed, begin whisking the mixture. Add the protein powder one scoop at a time, along with the sweetener, and continue whisking for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

5. 5

   Pour the fluffy mixture into a lined baking pan.

6. 6

   Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1-2 hours until set.

7. 7

   Once set, cut the mixture into squares and coat each piece in zero calorie powdered sugar.

8. 8

   Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The author notes that whey isolates work best for this recipe; other types of protein powder may not yield the same fluffy texture. Each marshmallow contains approximately 15 calories and 3g of protein.
