if you are dairy free.. what can you use in substitution of protein powder, because as you probably know, most protein powder has milk protein in it.. thanks
The protein powder I used in this recipe is dairy free (along with gluten free, vegan, sugar free). The SunWarrior is made of brown rice, no whey or casein! 🙂
