Double Chocolate Protein Fluff (No xanthan gum)
Description
This protein fluff is made by whisking together vegan vanilla protein powder with peanut butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and cacao powder until smooth. After letting the mixture sit briefly to thicken, mini chocolate chips are folded in for added texture. The absence of xanthan gum simplifies the ingredient list while still achieving a fluffy consistency through the protein powder and resting time.
The flavor profile balances chocolate and peanut butter, with a creamy mouthfeel from the almond milk. The protein powder's type influences both taste and texture, with pea protein-based powders producing the most volume and fluffiness.
Enjoy this snack as a filling bedtime treat or anytime protein boost. Toppings can be customized to preference, and nut-free versions can be made using Sunbutter and hemp milk. The recipe’s liquid measurements are designed to calculate nutrition precisely and achieve the proper body.
