Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?
Yes, but the shake will be thinner and less protein‑dense; strain the regular yogurt through cheesecloth to mimic Greek thickness.
What if I don’t have a blender?
Use a sturdy mason jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously for about a minute; the texture will be slightly grainier but still delicious.
How long will the shake stay fresh?
Keep it refrigerated and enjoy within 24 hours for optimal flavor and texture; beyond that, separation may occur.
