A little goes a long way.
I purchased this to make ice cream for my diabetic husband. It’s a good sized tub and will last a long time. I used a half teaspoon for just over a pint of ice cream to put through the ninja creami swirl. It came out great and tasted just like Mr Whippy ice cream. I can’t get sugar free ice cream for love nor money so decided to make my own. It came out great using this product. Don’t be tempted to use more. It’ll wreck your machine. A half teaspoon is more than enough.

Clean, fine, and versatile—binds, blends, and boosts texture in DIY snacks and kitchen prep.
Used this in protein bars, chocolate slabs, and cold brew emulsions—fine powder mixes clean with no grit or clumping. Helps bind oils and liquids, especially in nut butter blends or infused oils. I’ve used it in van stash treats and merch prep snacks—keeps texture smooth and shelf-stable. Also handy for foams and sauces if you’re experimenting with molecular-style cooking. No taste, no smell, and no drama—just clean blending and better consistency. 🔍 Specs & Features Size: 100g pouch Type: Soy-derived lecithin powder Function: Emulsifier, stabiliser, texture enhancer Use: Chocolate, protein bars, sauces, foams, baking Compatibility: Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO Storage: Resealable pouch—keep dry and cool 🧪 Performance Blendability: Fine powder—no clumps Taste Impact: Neutral—no flavour added Shelf Life: Long—stores well sealed Versatility: Works in hot and cold prep 👍 Pros ✅ Premium grade—clean and consistent ✅ No taste or smell—neutral in blends ✅ Works in hot and cold recipes ✅ Vegan and gluten-free ✅ Easy to measure and store 👎 Cons ❌ Needs precise dosing—too much can thicken ❌ Not instant—needs mixing or blending ❌ Can clump if exposed to moisture ❌ No scoop included—use digital scale 🧭 Personal Verdict If you want clean emulsification and better texture in DIY snacks or kitchen blends, this lecithin powder earns its spot. I’ve used it across protein bars, infused oils, and chocolate prep—no drama, just tidy results and smooth finish. Proper stash-ready gear for anyone who likes their creations sorted and shelf-stable.

A super quality thickener
This is an excellent product and one that I use regularly in the kitchen. Provides a tasteless thickened texture and that is quite unlike gelatine or a jelly producing product. Can be used on literally anything that is in a liquid state so easy to thicken fruit juices into clear gels without any of the texture from pureeing, or thicken gravies more easily than cornflour etc as it dissolves and is incorporated more evenly... It does take a little time for the product to become fully hydrated and to final consistency, so whilst it states 'instant' it isn't actually quite that fast... Give it a few minutes to act and then recheck consistency before adding more otherwise you risk overdoing it... A little goes a long way so good value for money too...

Worked great for making vegan cashew cheese, but product has a slight "fishy" smell while cooking and it seeps into the finished product.
