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: 23g protein per serving, a clear serving count, and texture notes before the first spin.

Watch first

Watch for thick, chalky, or gummy texture when cocoa, casein, pudding mix, or gum stack up.

Customize safely

If you change cocoa, coffee, protein powder, or mix-ins, adjust flavor strength and labels before judging the frozen result.

Check custom macros Convert cup size Fix gummy texture
