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 dessert specialist at Protein Dessert Lab

Jinny Marshall

Frozen Desserts

Jinny 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, protein bars and brownies developer at Protein Dessert Lab

Alberto Russo

Brownies & Bars

A 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.

Macro-focused
Amanda Carter, protein cookie specialist at Protein Dessert Lab

Amanda Carter

Protein Cookies

A 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.

Family-tested
Melissa Bennett, registered dietitian and no-bake recipe developer at Protein Dessert Lab

Melissa Bennett

No-Bake & Quick

A 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.
