Dairy-free calculator
Pick the plant milk, protein support, fruit load, body support, and cup size. Pint Prep will call out whether the base looks like a protein pint, a lighter frozen dessert, or an icy first-spin risk.
Base result
Recommended path
Low protein dessert-style base. Thin plant-milk risk. Decide whether this is a light frozen dessert or a protein pint. If protein is the goal, add a measured plant protein source before changing fruit.
No added protein. Low protein dessert-style base.
Decide whether this is a light frozen dessert or a protein pint. If protein is the goal, add a measured plant protein source before changing fruit. Target 20-30 g plant protein if this should be a protein pint.
Dairy-free does not automatically mean high-protein; do not treat this as a protein pint unless the protein source is actually there.
Almond milk is light and can freeze hard unless another ingredient supplies protein, fat, or solids. Dairy-free does not automatically mean high-protein, so compare the label and the spin result before calling the base done.
Recipe comparisons
These examples show how Pint Prep uses almond, oat, coconut, fruit, and dairy-free texture support without assuming every plant-milk pint is high-protein.

OpenFAQ
Usually no. Many plant milks have less protein and fewer solids than dairy milk, so protein depends on the label and any plant protein you add.
Fruit adds flavor and body, but it also adds water. Heavy fruit bases often need less plant milk, more body, or a careful thaw and respin.
Use coconut, nut butter, thicker fruit, or a tiny measured stabilizer when the base is thin. Use plant protein when the serving needs to be a protein pint.
