Tips & Notes

Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add a tablespoon of nut butter for a creamier texture and extra protein.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll sprinkle in a bit of cinnamon for a warm, spicy twist!
Storage & Freezing
This milkshake is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate.
