Notes
- Make it vegan: I tested this recipe with plant-based protein powder, but I didn't like it as much as it had a grainier texture. That said, you can totally make this recipe with your favorite vegan ice cream and plant-based protein powder if you prefer! You could also make my vanilla protein shake instead, which uses frozen banana instead of ice cream and plant-based protein powder.
- Malted milkshake: If you prefer a malted milkshake add around a ¼ cup of malted milk powder to your shake. You could also add maca powder, starting with 1-2 Tablespoons, which adds a malty flavor to recipes.
