Estimated Protein
Approximately:
35–45 g protein per serving
depending on protein powder and yogurt used.
Storage
Refrigerator
- Best within 24 hours.
- Texture thickens as it chills.
Not ideal for freezing because fluff texture changes.
Tips for Best Texture
- Use a whey/casein blend protein powder for thick fluff.
- Xanthan gum (⅛ tsp) can make it extra thick.
- Very cold ingredients whip better.
- Cottage cheese makes it cheesecake-like without tasting cheesy after blending.
