Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately. If needed, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours; stir or re-blend briefly before serving as it may separate. Make-ahead: Pre-measure dry ingredients and store in a bag. Prep avocado fresh. Substitutions: Use coconut milk for a richer texture. Swap protein powder for unsweetened collagen peptides. Add 1 tbsp MCT oil for extra fats. For a nut-free version, use unsweetened flax milk. Serving: Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, cacao nibs, or a few slices of avocado.
