Notes
*Protein is totally optional! If using greek yogurt, i’d just leave it out as it’s already high in protein. If using coconut yogurt, I like to add 1/2 scoop in. **Use your best judgement when adding milk! Blend all of the other ingredients in first, then check the texture. It should be thick, but not sticky thick, if that make sense. You’ll want it to be thick and smooth. I like adding a tbsp!
