The Test Kitchen
Meet the recipe team
Every recipe on Protein Dessert Lab is developed, tested and tasted by a real person who knows their craft — no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Jinny Marshall
Frozen DessertsJinny trained at a family-run gelateria in Bologna and spent twelve years as a pastry chef in New York and Los Angeles. After an insulin-resistance diagnosis, she rebuilt her favorite frozen desserts — keeping the silky texture while stripping the sugar and adding real protein.
Alberto Russo
Brownies & BarsA former competitive swimmer turned macro-focused recipe developer, Alberto spent a decade choking down chalky protein bars before building his own. He obsesses over the exact protein-fat-fiber ratio that keeps a bar fudgy instead of dry — and tests every one on a rest day.
Amanda Carter
Protein CookiesA home baker and mom of three, Amanda started sneaking protein into her family’s after-school treats. With a very honest panel of kid taste-testers, she’s become the cookie specialist here — simple ingredients, forgiving methods, and results that vanish before they’re fully cool.
Melissa Bennett
No-Bake & QuickA registered dietitian, Melissa believes dessert belongs in a balanced diet — as a tool, not a cheat. She develops the no-bake, under-fifteen-minute recipes here, building each one around sound macros and genuinely satisfying portions so a high-protein treat never feels like a compromise.
