Notes

**I used a rich and creamy vanilla soy milk for this recipe. It adds a boost of protein and beautiful flavor. You can substitute for plant milk of choice. I’d recommend cashew or oat milk to give the same creamy texture.
** for an added protein boost feel free to add a scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder. I love OWYN plantbased protein powder. Discount available in my shop.
