Mixed Berry Protein Fluff

A light, creamy, high-protein berry dessert made with frozen berries and whey protein. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a healthy dessert!

 Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.)
• 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
• ½ cup cold milk of choice
• ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1–2 tbsp sugar-free sweetener, optional
• ½ tsp vanilla extract, optional
• ½ tsp xanthan gum, optional, for extra thickness
• Fresh berries and a little whipped cream for topping

 Instructions

1. Add the frozen mixed berries and cold milk to a high-speed blender or food processor.
2. Blend until the berries are broken down and mostly smooth.
3. Add the whey protein, Greek yogurt, vanilla, sweetener, and xanthan gum.
4. Blend again until thick and creamy.
5. For the fluffy texture shown in the picture, whip the mixture for several minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until it increases in volume.
6. Spoon the berry protein fluff into meal-prep containers.
7. Top with fresh raspberries, blueberries, or a little whipped cream if desired.
8. Serve immediately, or keep chilled for a thicker texture.

Berry protein fluff recipes commonly use frozen berries, whey protein, and a small amount of liquid, then blend or whip the mixture until it becomes airy and increases in volume.

 Recipe Details

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: About 6 small portions
Storage: Keep refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 2 days. The fluffiest texture is best enjoyed fresh.

 Nut Information

Nut-free option: Yes, if you use regular dairy milk or another verified nut-free milk.

 If using almond milk, almond-based yogurt, or toppings containing nuts, the recipe will contain tree nuts. Always check your whey protein and other packaged ingredients for allergen and cross-contamination information.

 Tips

• Use frozen berries for the thickest, fluffiest texture.
• Start with less liquid; too much can turn it into a smoothie instead of fluff.
• Whey, casein, or milk-based protein powders generally create a better fluffy texture than many plant-based powders.
• Add more sweetener only after tasting, because some protein powders are already sweetened.
• For meal prep, divide into small containers and add fresh toppings just before serving.
