Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a scoop of low-fat yogurt or a banana. If you want to reduce sweetness, adjust the amount of Sweet 'N Low to your taste. You can also experiment with different flavors of Crystal Light or try using a protein powder instead of the hi-energy vanilla supplement for a different nutritional profile.
