Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a high-speed blender instead of shaking. You can substitute almond milk or soy milk for the nonfat dry milk solids if you're looking for a dairy-free option. Adjust the sweetness by reducing or increasing the sugar based on your preference. To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
