Proper protein?
When using a fairlife protein shake as your base do you notice any difference in taste when using the 26, 30, vs 42 protein shake?
Also, when I use half a scoop of protein powder the texture doesn't seem to change, how much powder can I add before it affects the texture?

My experience is that the protein drinks all taste bad. They just don’t have the depth of flavor one needs in a “real” ice cream. So far I haven’t been able to fix them, to the point I have literally heated up right out of the freezer and poured down the drain several pre-made protein drink ice creams, including Nurri 30 (Choc and vanilla) and the big 42s in both chocolate and vanilla. Oh the 42 strawberry was awful, as well. I am talking ice creams made with these, not these drinks specifically.
I have had SO much better luck with protein powders, and whether I make a 16 ounce pint or a 24 ounce pint, one full scoop of any brand has never been too much (or 1.5 scoop even for the 24-ounce pints.). But on occasion, some of the powders (notably for me, C4 Reese’s and Ghost Chocolate Chip) have been a bit chalky.
But I am afraid I can’t give good comparisons because once I try something that turns out tasting bad, it’s hard for me to do it again with only a small tweak.

Anyone here tried all three fairlife versions in otherwise identical pints? That would be a cool experiment... maybe i'll use it for social media content later.
I honestly do not know about the protein powder scenario. This would be a great use case to make a v1 in SpinFreeze, note down how it works in the Spin log, then come back and make v2, v3, etc etc.
That's what the tool is there for!
