Notes
- Stir the dry ingredients with the milk before heating it up to prevent clumping
- Whisk constantly while heating to prevent burning
- Soy milk is a great high protein non-dairy milk option
- Whole milk is a good choice for those who aren't dairy free
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste and add more or less monk fruit
