Does it work with a low sugar protein drink (Premier)? It doesn't work with the Zoku Popsicle maker because of the low sugar.

I am not familiar with the specific brand you mentioned, but I did try Crystal Light lemonade in them. Maybe it's something about the Crystal Light (which has no sugar), but I won't do it again. The popsicle makers are so big at the top end (where the lid comes off), that what comes out is a huge solid brickbat thing, and I found them really difficult to attempt to eat. Of course, that might just be me. I expected the entire popsicle maker to be about half the size it is. I'm sorry to say that they're almost obscene looking, at over 8 inches long, and I've found them difficult to use for any kind of popsicle.

If you do not have a problem with sugar then buy a regular protein drink. I am diabetic and I need my protein shake to be low carb, high protein. I think these products are mainly for people who are trying to eat low carb.

I use the peppermint my breakfast/protein shakes, it is a low calorie alternative to creamer. It should not change the consistency of the coffee.

It does, I think comparable to whey protein but slightly less than. tastes terrible by its own though unless you really like the taste of peas. I recommend mixing it with a banana to mask it.

Sent mine back...Tried ice cream, gelato, & frozen custard...chilled ingredients first, ice crystals formed in all 3 recipes but didn't solidify...i like soft ice cream but all 3 efforts had the consistency of frozen slushies. Maybe it was the unit, but wasn't willing to retry. My sense is that the compressor was fine, but the small paddle was plastic and not powerful enough to actual churn the mixture adequately.

It does actually only work with regular mouth jars. I wish it worked on large mouth! For some reason I didn't realize that it had to be used with an adapter type piece that fits between the machine and the jar and therefore, in my opinion, doesn't work as well as the plastic containers that come with it and go directly on the blender. But It's the only thing I've found to work with jars and so i do use it some that way.

I've never tried to make more than 2 batches of pops. I had the 3 pop maker so it was never necessary. My guess is that if you are having difficulty freezing a third batch, putting the Zoku in the freezer will eventually cause it to freeze but it probably won't be much faster than freezing pops in a conventional mold. I.e. it could take hours. The Zoku might actually make the freezing process longer because the cold from the freezer has to get through the Zoku before it gets to the pop.

Does not form ice crystals....nor can you control paddle speed......i use custard bases which make fabulous ice creams

I use it for protein shakes. I put in the water, two scoops of powder, peanut butter and then ice. I put the cover on and blend it for about 30 seconds. When it's done, I turn it back over and unscrew the top and put a straw in it. It works wonderfully!!

Sorry Rachel, I haven't tried that. Why don't you fill up an ice cube tray with yogurt instead of making popsicles.

I'm not sure how well that would work, given the fact that the popsicle stick would have to balance in the liquid. One of mine broke and I was able to glue the base/stick pieces back together.

No, it only works in K-cup machines. I contacted the manufacturer a few weeks ago and they said they didn't have plans to make an E-Z Cup for the Vue at this time.

It works with my Pixie Nespresso. Had a few off brand capsules which didn't perforate correctly. So I open up the capsules and used the coffee to fill the Coffeeduck. Certainly lacks the ease of use of the ready for usecapsules, but at a much reduced price. also, youhave the oprion of using any brand and flavor of your choice. I enjoy the option.

I have not used this to make what would be considered "low fat" frozen ice cream or low fat frozen yogurt, but I did use it to make the protein frozen treats, which were low fat, using milk that is designated "2%" milk. My results were varied; the first time, there were some ice crystals that formed, but the second batch I made and subsequent batches were a lot smoother, as I let the machine churn longer, and that seemed to reduce/eliminate most of the ice crystals. The machine is a good machine, and I think that if you let it run longer, your results will be better.

Yes it does. That is how I was introduced to the machine. My daughter had one and she uses Almond and soy Milk. Both work. The Almond milk tastes a little more earthy when whipped up and hot. But I don't drink a lot of it, so that may be normal. As a side note. I don't know how I got along without this before and my latte bill has dwindled to nothing.

Yes it works great with anything! I put ice in mine for my son. This is much nicer than the mesh one's becasue it is so much easier to clean!
