Frequently Asked Questions for Gingerbread Protein Shake

  • Can I make this shake without banana?
    Yes! Replace the banana with 1/4 avocado for creaminess or 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce for sweetness.

    Unsweetened almond milk is a great option for its creamy texture and low calorie count, but oat milk or cashew milk would work equally well.
