Notes
Any protein powder works—use one you like the taste of.
Dark cocoa yields a richer chocolate flavor.
To increase protein, double the protein powder amount.
Add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey if you prefer it sweeter.
Freeze prepared shakes in an ice cube tray for easy make-ahead portions.
