It’s versatile, easy to make, and can be tailored to fit various dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free, and low-sugar diets.

Add even more protein options such as Greek Yogurt or chia seeds. Peanut Butter or even more Protein Powder would be great. I finally found protein powder that I like and it took a lot of trial and error.
Blend fresh or frozen berries into the mixture for a fruity twist. Top with more berries and a sprinkle of granola.
Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the mixture. Top with dark chocolate shavings and a drizzle of melted peanut butter.
Mix in a teaspoon of instant coffee granules along with the cocoa powder for a mocha-flavored treat. Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
Use coconut milk as the base and add mango or pineapple chunks. Garnish with shredded coconut.
