Lauren says
Can I use either Unsweetened almond milk or skim milk?
Jessica Penner says
For sure!
Michele says
Can I use chocolate whey protein powder?
Jessica Penner says
Instead of the cocoa? It would be much sweeter if your protein powder is sweetened.
Ramona Johnson says

Jessica Penner says
Avocado could be substituted in for bananas.
Kelsey G says
I tried this morning and it didn’t come out good like I thought it would. I used fat free milk. Suggestion?
Kelsey G says
What kind of cocoa do you use? Hershey’s?
Jessica Penner says
Any type of unsweetened cocoa powder!
Aneesha Rai says
Can I substitute regular milk for almond milk? Will regular low fat yoghurt work just as fine as greek yoghurt?
Jessica Penner says
Both of those substitutions should taste fine but you will drastically lower the protein content!
