My notes
Tips
- Soy milk has the most protein and spins creamiest. Unsweetened oat or almond milk works too, with a little less protein. Oat drinks usually contain gluten, and almond milk is a tree nut.
- Plant protein powders vary in taste. Pea protein can taste earthy, so a vanilla-flavored blend works best. Taste the base and add more sweetener if needed.
- Allulose keeps the tubpint softest. Where it is not sold, use another granulated sweetener that measures like sugar and plan on a second Re-spin.
Why it works
Peanut butter brings fat and flavor, and soy milk and plant protein add protein that binds water. Xanthan gum holds it all together, so the dairy-free base spins smooth instead of icy.
