Ingredients

1 scoop (approx. 25-30g) Vanilla Protein Powder (whey or plant based)

Notes
Use cold ingredients for best fluffiness. Fresh lemon juice and zest are crucial for vibrant flavor. Whisk vigorously to incorporate air. Adjust sweetness to taste based on your protein powder and sweetener. Chilling is recommended but not required. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Not suitable for freezing.
