Protein powder
You can use vanilla flavored whey protein powder instead of unflavored whey, stevia and vanilla extract. Ensure the protein powder uses natural flavoring and Diet Doctor approved sweeteners.

For a more filling smoothie, add one tablespoon of coconut oil or any other healthful oil. You may also substitute the whipping cream for ¼ cup Greek yogurt. If so, add a little water for a more liquid consistency.
