Yes this looks like a girly treat, but let me tell you that this dessert is far from it.
Thanks to Leangains, I learned how to manipulate Casein powder and turned it into a fluffy dessert. I whipped the fluff using my Kitchenaid Mixer but I have read that handheld mixers work too.
Recipe adapted from the Leangains site:
Yelds 1 serving
Casein Protein (DON’T USE WHEY!!!)+ Skim Milk (or water) and 2-3 strawberries
Mix powder and water (or milk) in a 1:1.25-1.5 ratio, meaning for each scoop of powder you take 1.25-1.5 scoops of water. Less water (i.e. 1.25) yields a thicker pudding and more water (i.e. 1.5) a smoother pudding. Layer the bottom of your dish with fruit and cover with fluff. Add another fruit layer and top it with remaining fluff.
Put the bowl with the mixture the in fridge or freezer for 30 min to 2 hours depending on amount. If you put it in the freezer, it’ll turn into an ice cream like concoction.

Ahh, this looks enjoyable. I just recently started making Protein Fluff as well. And to confirm, you CAN use a hand mixer as that was what I did. In fact, I tried it at first manually... that was workout all it's own. Haha! Question. What flavor did you use in this case? I have Vanilla Creame and I am having a difficult time coming up with good recipes. I have it with cinnamon, nut meg, and banana. Another with espresso grounds (didn't turn out great, too much espresso, still playing with it) Like the blog so far, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYay! You are my first reader to comment!
ReplyDeleteI have Optimum Nutrition's Creamy Vanilla as well.
I wouldn't use espresso grounds (the grounds can't be dissolved) but instead use instant coffee or instant espresso powder. The espresso powder is harder to find but if you have a Whole Foods nearby, you can purchase it there!
Thanks for reading!
Sounds good. Thanks for the info! I was thinking of getting a 0 cal 0 sugar caramel ( ilke the type on bodybuilding.com ) to add to the mixture to make a vanilla caramel protein fluff. Extra delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious-- can't wait to try it!
