    What is the best Trutein flavor for making Sludge according to my recipe?

    I'm looking for a thick casein blend strictly for use in my night-time 'sludge' recipes, and Trutein interests me because of two things:
    1. the positive feedback
    2. the cost

    I have only tried vanilla casein(bb.com brand) and have been using it ever since I started to make sludge. My sludge comes out tasting amazing, but I am looking to switch it up.

    This is how my usual recipe looks:
    -1 scoop vanilla casein
    -1/2 cup cottage cheese
    -30g natural peanut butter OR coconut butter depending on my tastes
    -30g almonds
    -spinkled cinnamon
    -1 1/2 cup water

    frozen for 30 minutes

    What type of Trutein should I buy to change up the vanilla casein?

    secondary question: are all trutein flavors equal in thickness?
    is trutein as thick as a 100% micellar casein?

    i need something as thick as possible for my recipe

    It's really thick. I use it a lot with greek yogurt. Try chocolate covered banana, it's my current favorite trutein. Then again, you could just do chocolate covered peanut butter and flavor it by adding in a banana. That way you don't get tired of the banana flavor.

    The vanilla based flavors mix a bit thicker than the Chocolate based flavors for me. Dunno if I'm just weird or anyone else experiences it as well.

    CinnaBun is an absolute favorite for sludge for me.

    have you tried banana cream? if so how does it compare?

    do you think there's a big difference between the taste of

    1. a basic casein vanilla + cinnamon in a sludge
    vs.
    2. cinnabun trutein

    ?

    Banana Cream and Cinnabun are both fantastic. Those are my 2 favorite flavors, but they are all awesome and delicious, and you can't go wrong with any of them IMO. You can order samples off TNS' website if you want to try them to really figure out which you like best before buying.

    Yes, there is a difference between a basic Vanilla Casein + Cinnamon, and Cinnabun Trutein. The Cinnabun is much more complex, and incorporates the flavors of the dough and icing of a real Cinnamon Roll
