Notes on protein powder

I used PEScience Chocolate Truffle for this smoothie and I cannot recommend it enough. Use code OHSNAP to save. Already have a favorite protein powder? Use what you love – the protein powder you use makes a huge difference in taste and texture.

  1. Any alternative for the Greek yogurt, itโ€™s pretty had to come by in my local market and quite expensive when you do find it

  2. Protein powder bothers my stomach, so I want to try making this without the protein powder added. Do you think I need to adjust the quantity of the other ingredients in this case (such as the cocoa powder)? Or can I just completely remove the protein powder and keep the rest of the ingredients as is?

  3. 5 stars
    I added half a banana and it was so good! Iโ€™m halfway done with it. Iโ€™ll definitely be making this again!
