Modifications

• Not a fan of protein powder or making this for kids? Swap out the protein powder for 3 tbsp of heart seeds or 1/2 cup of plain Greek Yogurt
• Not a fan of pineapple? Not to worry! You can substitute with mango, peaches, or banana! Stick to a half cup for all.
• More fibre? Add an extra tbsp of ground flaxseed, or use chia seeds instead!
• Not sweet enough? Add honey, to taste!
