Notes about this recipe:

  • To make this recipe higher in calories, use any of the following ingredient alterations: 2% milk, 2% cottage cheese, flavored non 0% M.F. greek yogurt, use a full banana, add in 2+ tbsp peanut butter.
  • The type of protein powder you use will make a pretty big impact on taste. I use this one, so if you don’t know which one to use try that one out.
