Protein powder is the best way to not only add plant-based protein to your diet but also all the amino acids needed on a vegan diet, like I did in my Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie, Protein Powder Mug Cake, Protein Powder Oatmeal. Here I am sharing a protein breakfast recipe, also known as protein fluff. It tastes like a dessert with all the benefits of wholesome, nourishing ingredients to start the day right! The recipe is naturally:
Vegan Low-carb keto-friendly Gluten-free Grain-free Dairy-free
What’s Protein Fluff?
Protein fluff is a healthy low-fat, low-carb protein snack or breakfast to eat after a workout with a similar texture to marshmallow fluff minus the sugar.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Protein Powder– You can use any protein powder brand. We tested the recipe with plant-based protein powder: pea protein powder and almond protein powder. Feel free to use a chocolate protein powder to make a chocolate protein fluff. Peanut Butter Powder – We used PB2. This adds a lovely peanut butter flavor to the fluff, extra proteins without the saturated fats from regular peanut butter. Unsweetened Almond Milk or any non-dairy milk you love, including coconut milk, oat milk, etc. Sweetener of Choice – You can use an unrefined liquid sweetener like maple syrup or a crystal sweetener like sugar-free erythritol for a low-carb option. Xanthan Gum or psyllium husk – this is the magic ingredients that turn the recipe into a fluffy texture. You can swap this by ground psyllium husk – jump to the recipe below for measurement – both work with different ratios.
How To Make Protein Fluff
It’s very easy to make a protein fluff at home. All you need is a food processor or high-speed blender. So first, make sure you have a food processor to make this recipe. The key to making a good fluff with protein powder is to measure the ingredients carefully. Too many ice cubes make the recipe icy, too much protein powder makes the mixture too thick, and finally, too much gum turns the fluff into a slime. Trust me; this doesn’t taste good at all, so measure everything carefully before you start.
