    This hits the spot for me!! I didn’t add the honey, it’s sweet enough with the banana and pb! It’s velvety smooth and the cocoa curbs my chocolate craving! Thank you!!

      Instead of the cocoa? It would be much sweeter if your protein powder is sweetened.

    I tried this morning and it didn’t come out good like I thought it would. I used fat free milk. Suggestion?

    Can I substitute regular milk for almond milk? Will regular low fat yoghurt work just as fine as greek yoghurt?

      Both of those substitutions should taste fine but you will drastically lower the protein content!
