Notes

Coconut milk is thicker than other non-dairy milk options, so adjust the quantity if using a lighter milk
Taste before adding extra sweetener, chocolate syrup and cherries already add sweetness
Add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or nuts for crunch and extra healthy fats
Experiment with different flavors like banana, strawberry, or peanut butter
For extra protein, add plant-based protein powder
