FAQ

Can I make this without protein powder?

Yes, but increase coconut cream to 1/4 cup for creaminess and add 1 tablespoon nut butter for protein and thickness.

What if I don't have MCT oil?

Substitute with melted coconut oil or avocado for healthy fats, though flavor will be slightly different.

How long will this keep in the fridge?

Best consumed immediately but can be stored up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking as separation may occur.
