Notes
*any flavor of protein powder will work! I suggest a flavored one as it adds some sweetness. If yours is not sweet, you can add a little sweetener to these. Also, a plant-based protein works the best as the consistency helps absorb the liquid. I am not sure if whey protein powder will work as I have not tried them.
