Notes
*You can use 1 1/2 teaspoons dried turmeric instead of fresh although flavor will be different. Fresh turmeric has a more subtle gingery/carrot taste. Fresh turmeric is widely available in the produce section of most grocery stores.**I used Vital Proteins Banana Cinnamon Vanilla whey protein in this recipe but any unflavored or vanilla flavored protein powder would work well. Serving sizes of each protein powder vary just use 1 serving of whichever brand you use. Recipe will work without the protein powder just as well!
