This Frosted Vanilla from ProDough is just... vanilla. It spun into a decent texture, but the flavor itself is pretty generic and bland; nothing distinct or exciting about it, just a basic, uninspired vanilla that doesn't really pop in the frozen base. While it uses stevia, it doesn't translate to a clean, bright vanilla profile, nor does it leave a noticeable aftertaste, which is a small win. It's fine if you need a beef protein, but it's not a flavor I'd actively reach for.

How Beef Protein Performs in a Ninja Creami
Hydrolyzed beef protein dissolves well but tends to produce a slightly denser, less airy pint than whey. The flavor profile is also different — beef protein has a more neutral, sometimes slightly savory undertone that can clash with certain flavors. Dessert and vanilla flavors tend to work best. Sweetener choice is especially important with beef protein — erythritol is strongly preferred.
