Notes
Almond milk: Any milk will work well for this recipe, use what is on hand or what your prefer.
Dairy-free yogurt: I love using Siggi's as a plant-based yogurt as it's not only delicious but has a fantastic amount of protein. Lactose-free Greek yogurt works really great and maintains a high protein content. Any dairy-free yogurt will work, just keep mindful of the protein content if you're wanting to keep this recipe high-protein, as well as the sugar content.
Plant-based protein powder - Any protein powder will work great. Use what you have on hand or prefer, but try and use a vanilla flavored or unflavored.
