Notes
Milk: I prefer unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any kind of milk you prefer.
Peanut butter powder: I usually use this to keep the fat content low. If you don't care about this or don't want to purchase an extra ingredient, feel free to use 3 Tablespoons of your preferred nut butter.
Protein powder: we use Vega protein powder in our house, but you can use any kind of protein powder you prefer.
