Notes

• To increase the protein content, consider adding a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder. This will add calories.
• Any plant based milk or animal milk (cow, goat, etc.) can be used in place of almond milk. Using animal milk will add a bit more protein.
• Nutrition analysis is based on the use of whole flax seeds, unsweetened, plain almond milk, and excludes the optional ingredient. 
• The recipe, as written, is lactose free.
