Chef’s Tips
Powdered Almond Butter Advantage: Using powdered almond butter keeps the fat at just 6g while preserving authentic almond butter flavor.
Casein or Blend Powder: Casein or whey-casein blend protein powders trap air much better than pure isolate, giving you that signature “cloud” texture!
