Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use any protein powder?
A: Yes, whey, casein, or vegan protein powders all work—just pick your favorite flavor.
Q: Can I use water instead of milk?
A: You can, but it’ll be less creamy. Stick to 2% or protein milk for best results.
Q: My texture is crumbly—what now?
A: Use the Re-spin feature or add 1 tbsp of milk and re-spin. Avoid under-filling your pint.
Q: Is this good for weight loss?
A: Yes! It’s high protein, low sugar, and keeps you full longer than traditional desserts.
Q: Do I need the Jell-O mix?
A: Not at all. It enhances flavor but can be swapped for vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fruit.
Q: Can I make this without protein powder?
A: Yes—sub 1/2 banana or Greek yogurt, though it will have less protein
