Notes

  • Adjust sweetness according to the sweetness of your protein powder and milk choice.
  • The optional almond butter adds healthy fats and creaminess but can be omitted for lower fat content.
  • Consider using cinnamon stick powder for a more intense cinnamon flavor.
  • This shake is best consumed immediately to take advantage of its fresh flavor and optimal texture.
