Please note – a few ways that I make personal adjustments to these recipes is:
1) When it says milk I either use fat free OR vanilla almond milk unsweetened (40 calories a cup)
2 ) When it says yogurt I normally use 0% Greek yogurt
3) I need it to be sweeter I add in a Stevia branded sweetener (many varieties at your supermarket these days – some are more bitter than others)
4) All Protein Powder that I use is 100% whey – I stick with vanilla and chocolate – Sometimes I use half the amount to cut back on calories but still want the benefits of protein
5) If I feel that I can get away without using Almond Milk or fat free milk I half the quantity and use water as replacement.
6) I only normally add the Jello or Peanut Butter if I am having a milkshake or sweet tooth craving
