About the recipe

Almond milk provides a light base, while water allows you to adjust the texture to make it thicker or thinner. Once blended, the mixture becomes smooth and slightly creamy.
This recipe offers an interesting alternative to traditional protein shakes, with a more pronounced flavor profile.
