- Milk: To keep this protein shake vegan and dairy-free, we used unsweetened almond milk. You can also use oat milk. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use regular whole milk, skim milk, 1% milk, or 2% milk in this recipe.
- Peanut Butter: Peanut butter provides healthy fats and a delicious peanut butter flavor to this recipe. Adding a small amount of healthy fats to a smoothie or protein shake will make it more filling and satisfying.
