Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prep this the night before?

Yes, combine the dry ingredients and berries in your blender jar. Store in the fridge and add liquid right before blending.

Which protein powder works best?

Vanilla whey or a high-quality pea protein blend both mix well without overpowering the berries.

Is this vegan-friendly?

Simply swap the Greek yogurt for a coconut-based dairy alternative to keep it fully plant-based.
