Best Strawberry Protein Fluff

This strawberry protein fluff is a delicious and satisfying way to increase your protein intake. With a thick, creamy texture similar to pudding, it’s a fantastic alternative to protein shakes.

My Quest for Protein

I’ve been on a mission to consume over 100 grams of protein daily. In addition to my usual high-protein foods, I’ve been exploring creative ways to add more protein to my diet. When I discovered protein fluff could provide 27 grams of protein per serving, I was eager to try it.

What is Protein Fluff?

Protein fluff is a thick, creamy, pudding-like dessert that’s high in protein. Xantham gum is the magic ingredient that transforms protein powder into a fluffy, mousse-like consistency. It’s a great option for those who prefer eating their calories rather than drinking them, as it’s more satisfying than a protein shake.

How to Make Strawberry Protein Fluff

I’ve seen many variations of protein fluff, including chocolate, cookies and cream, peanut butter, and various fruit flavors. I opted for strawberries because they’re in season and bursting with flavor.

Here’s how to make it:

  1. Blend: Combine the strawberries and ½ cup of liquid (I used almond milk) in a blender or food processor.
  2. Add Protein Powder: Add your protein powder (I used strawberry flavor, but vanilla works well too).
  3. Thicken: Add the xanthan gum and blend until the mixture is thick and creamy.

Tips for Perfect Protein Fluff

  • For Extra Fluff: Use casein protein powder instead of whey. Casein creates greater volume and a thicker texture.
  • Chill: Enjoy your protein fluff cold for the best taste and texture.
  • Add Whipped Cream: Top with a small amount of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
