# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get that rich, creamy ice cream texture without the sugar crash or guilt
  • The protein keeps you full for hours, making it perfect for post-workout recovery
02 -
  • The mixture must be frozen solid for at least 8 hours or the machine cannot process it properly
  • Most first spins come out powdery. This is normal. Just add a splash of milk and re-spin.
03 -
  • Invest in good quality protein powder. Cheap brands often leave a gritty texture or weird aftertaste
  • Label your containers with the date and flavor. Frozen bases all look identical after a few weeks
