For a sweeter protein shake, add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey.
Recipe variations
- Make it more satisfying. I find adding healthy fats and fiber is a great way to make my shakes even more filling. Nut butter (my go-to is almond butter!) and frozen avocado are great options.
- Boost the superfoods. Add a few tablespoons of oats, Greek yogurt, or hemp seeds for a more nutrient-rich shake.
- Add a dash of sea salt. Not only does it amplify the other ingredients, but it adds essential minerals!
