Description
I recently had one of those Core Power protein milkshakes, and it surprisingly tasted exactly like a vanilla milkshake. For 26 g of protein and fairly minimal ingredients (besides some artificial sweeteners), these seemed pretty good to have on occasion. My main issue was the price. So instead of spending $3.28 on a single bottle, let's do it for cheaper, shall we There's also a 42 g of protein version for $4.50 which I'm going to recreate here, with the same amount of protein and calories for a fraction of the cost.

Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Add the whey and 1/2 cup (120 g) of your milk to a shaker bottle, and shake until fully dissolved. Add the rest of the milk, as well as vanilla extract, liquid monk fruit, and yogurt. Shake, adjust to taste, and enjoy
Notes
- For chocolate instead of vanilla, omit, the vanilla extract, and instead use 1 tbsp (5 g) of cocoa powder
- Alternatively, you can use unsweetened almond milk instead of fairlife skim milk to make it even cheaper. In that case, increase the whey to 1 1/2 scoops (45 g)
