The Pint LabProtein Ice Cream Rankings

Not all protein powders are created equal — especially when ice cream is your goal. What tastes great in a shake can fall completely flat in a pint. The Pint Lab tests every powder the same way, every time, and rates them on what makes the best high-protein, low-calorie pint.

I've been spinning pints for over 2 years — nearly every day I'm home. 500+ pints and counting. I've gotten more people hooked on this machine than I can count. It's not just a gadget. It's a lifestyle.
