Tips

  • 💡 For an extra boost of nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or kale for a green twist without altering the flavor.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker shake, add more Greek yogurt or reduce the amount of almond milk.
  • 💡 For a dairy-free version, ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
