Recipe & Ingredient Tips:
For this recipe, I used a regular 12 oz Mason jar and a 10 oz Weck jar with a lid. If you don’t have any jars, plenty of different options, like containers, mugs, or glasses, will do the job. As for ingredients, here are a few tips:
- Soy Milk: For this recipe, choose soy, almond, or oat milk. I personally choose almond oat milk to reduce calories. Yet, if you are okay with dairy – skimmed cow’s milk will work fine as well.
- Soy Yogurt: The one with a natural taste is the best option. For this recipe, I wouldn’t recommend using yogurt with other flavors.
- Protein Powder: A vanilla flavor is right for this recipe. If, for any reason, you don’t use/like protein powder, sweeten with any sugar-free vanilla syrup option of your choice or use honey for a classical touch.
- Maple Syrup: If there is no maple syrup at home, then honey is a good alternative.
- Espresso Shot: Choose regular or decaf, depending on your preference.
- Seasonal Fruits: you can add your favorite berries or fruits for a fresh touch or skip this step. I used strawberries.
