Choose with context

Why choose this recipe?

Use this recipe when the flavor looks right, then check the role it plays: protein, calories, cup size, and the first-spin texture note.

Best for

Best when this dessert needs to act like a protein anchor: 25g protein per serving, a clear serving count, and texture notes before the first spin.

Watch first

Watch for a dry or crumbly first spin from lean protein, lower sugar, or limited texture support.

Customize safely

If you change brands, grams, sweetener, or mix-ins, rerun the macro calculator and save a note after the spin.
