Your pint pantry,
without the guesswork.

Start with the recipe you want to make. Buy what that recipe actually needs.

The base

Milk, a ready-to-drink protein shake and protein powder behave differently. Follow a complete recipe rather than assuming one can replace another in equal amounts. Your ingredient label is the starting point for nutrition calculations.

The texture helpers

Some recipes use instant pudding mix or a small amount of a thickener. These are not interchangeable, and more is not automatically better. Use the amount in a suitable recipe, check allergens and keep your machine’s instructions close.

The extra pints

Check your machine’s model number before buying. Original, Deluxe and Swirl containers are different. Buy enough for the way you prep, not an entire drawer before your first batch.

The mix-ins

Follow the recipe and your machine’s guidance for size, timing and program. Swirl dispensing has different requirements from scoop-style mix-ins. Add toppings after dispensing when the instructions call for it.

We haven’t compared protein powders in kitchen tests, so we don’t name a “best” powder. The best place to start is a flavour you already enjoy in a recipe written for that ingredient.
