Here in Canada, we have that brand as well as one called Joyya.
I don't usually care for drinking protein shakes; I prefer "protein mush." Just yogurt + the powder + berries or something, just stirred in a bowl. I also use my whey protein powder for chaffles and other bread-like things. Besides the protein boost, it gives them a lighter, fluffier texture.

I would be interested in recipes for your protein powder chaffles (I am a chaffle virgin right now!) and "other bread like things." I'm interested in how to use protein powder to amp up the protein in stuff.
Thanks for whatever recipes you or anyone else on this thread would care to share!
I can vouch for the deliciousness of mixing protein powder in FF yogurt with berries. That is a staple for me!
I also recentely discovered Protein Fluff. There are many iterations of this out there in internet land. Lots of variation in calorie counts depending on ingredients. The version I like is high protein low calorie. I think results might vary based on what type of protein powder is used, since the only ingredients in this version are protein powder, ice and water. I have had great results with Devotion Nutrition protein powder.
1 scoop protein powder - 20g protein (D.N. makes Brownie Batter and Angel Food Cake flavors, and they also make lots of different flavor only packets which can be added to create a lot of different flavor combinations)
2 cups ice cubes
1 cup water
Put this into a food processor and process for about 4 - 5 minutes. You can see it expanding as it blends. Once the ice is all gone and it's at maximum fluffiness, enjoy. It is a bit like the consistency of cool whip. And the volume is MASSIVE. And way healthier than an ice cream binge - regular or keto.
Side note: I have also tried this in my Vitamix. That blender is too high powered and it lost the "fluff" aspect and turned out as a smoothie. That's not a bad thing, but it wasn't the "fluff" I get from the food processor.
If anyone else is making a Protein Fluff that they like, I would love to know your recipe!
