If you prefer a different flavor profile, experiment with various protein powder flavors beyond vanilla, such as chocolate or unflavored for a more classic coffee taste. Remember, if you opt for unflavored protein powder, you'll definitely want to include a sweetener of choice to balance the flavors. Feel free to use any milk of choice, whether dairy or plant-based, to achieve your desired creaminess and dietary preference.
