For a higher protein shake, use a dairy-free protein milk, like Silk Protein & Nut or Silk Ultra, Califia Protein Oat, or add a tablespoon or two of your favorite dairy-free protein powder. Alternatively, you can add a tablespoon or two of peanut or almond butter - it's delicious!

Notes
Fresh or Frozen? We prefer using frozen banana for the best texture. If you opt to use frozen berries, it will make the shake very thick. You might want to let them defrost just a little before blending.
