- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a small amount of honey or your preferred sweetener if needed.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, opt for a plant-based protein powder instead of whey.
- To enhance the nutritional value, consider adding a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Blend on high to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed for a smooth and creamy texture.
