Storage

FAQs
Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?
Frozen bananas give the fluff its thick and airy texture. Using fresh bananas may result in a thinner, less fluffy consistency. To get similar results, slice fresh bananas and freeze them before making the recipe.
What type of protein powder works best?
Whey protein powders blend well and create a smooth texture, but plant-based protein powders like pea or rice protein can also be used. Choose your favorite flavor to complement the chocolate base.
