Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, swap the whey protein for a high-quality plant-based protein powder and use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

How do I store the leftovers?

Best consumed fresh. If necessary, keep in an airtight container for up to 12 hours, but shake well as separation is natural.

Does the spinach change the taste?

Not at all. Baby spinach is mild and is completely masked by the banana and vanilla protein powder.
