Notes
- Non dairy milk: If you're not worried about keeping this recipe dairy-free, you can use regular milk. This will add even more protein!
- Maple syrup: I love the sweetness the maple syrup adds here, but if you want a low sugar option (or if your protein powder is sweet enough on it's own) you can leave this out or use another sweetener.
