Notes

Nutritional information is for the base recipe without add-ins. You can try flavors like Strawberries & Cream (use vanilla protein powder, swap honey for vanilla extract, top with strawberries and whipped cream) or Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana (use chocolate protein powder, add peanut butter and banana slices). Use mason jars or glass jars for easy storage, or make a large batch in a container. Use a protein powder you like, as taste varies. You can omit the protein powder if you prefer. Top with nut butter, dried fruit, seeds, granola, fresh fruits, or spices like cinnamon.
