Which protein powder works best in the Creami?

Whey-casein blends and casein make the creamiest Creami pints. Whey isolate works but needs a stabilizer and a re-spin. Plant proteins work best with soy milk and a little fat.

Compared

Type	Texture	Tip
Whey-casein blend	Creamy, thick	Our default. 1 scoop per pint.
Casein	Thickest, almost gelato	Add a little more milk.
Whey isolate	Lighter, can be icy	Add 1 tbsp pudding mix; expect a re-spin.
Pea / soy	Can be gritty	Blend well, rest 5 min, add 2 tbsp coconut cream.

What to look for

A flavor you like as a plain shake.
Some casein in the ingredient list.
Not too sweet; you'll add flavor anyway.

How much

One scoop (about 30 g) per 16 oz pint, 1½ scoops for 24 oz. More than that tastes like powder.

Questions

Can I use a ready-to-drink protein shake?

Yes. A 11–12 oz protein shake poured straight into the pint is the easiest protein ice cream there is.
