Notes

Nutrition facts are calculated without the protein powder.

Adding the suggested protein powder adds 43 calories, 0 carbohydrates, and 7.5 grams of protein per serving.

Add agave or maple syrup for extra sweetness or extra dates. We like using dates because they have a ton of beneficial post-workout benefits.
