Notes

You do need both protein powder amounts listed.
The protein powder you choose can and will make a difference to both the flavor and the texture of the protein fluff (see notes in blog post)
Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to ensure that the protein powder absorbs all the liquid. This is that gives it it’s “fluffy” consistency.
The fluff is best eaten right away. 
You use a protein powder that is not pea-protein based, the recipe will still taste good but not fluff up. It's pea-protein that absorbs the liquid.
Make sure the almond butter is "runny" and not dried out. This will help everything mix better.
Not all the caramel sauce is needed, drizzle lightly and save the rest for later if you're worried about calories!
