Description
Peanut Butter Cup Protein Fluff is a creamy, fluffy, high-protein dessert that tastes like a chocolate peanut butter treat. This quick no-bake recipe is cold, satisfying, and easy to customize with toppings like chocolate syrup, cereal, or peanut butter cups.
Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate or peanut butter protein powder
- 1 cup ice
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/3 frozen banana (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1 mini peanut butter cup, chopped
- Sugar-free chocolate syrup, optional for topping
Instructions
- Add the protein powder, ice, almond milk, peanut butter, frozen banana, and xanthan gum to a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Blend for 3 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and fluffy.
- Spoon the protein fluff into a bowl.
- Top with chopped peanut butter cup and drizzle with sugar-free chocolate syrup if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold and fluffy.
Notes
- You can skip the xanthan gum, but the fluff will be less thick and airy.
- Whey or whey-casein protein powders usually create the fluffiest texture.
- For a lighter version, use peanut butter powder instead of regular peanut butter.
- Add crushed cereal, chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
- Reduce the milk slightly and blend longer for a thicker consistency.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
- If storing, keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 hour.
