Nut-free: If you’re allergic to peanuts, you can use sunflower seed butter or another nut-free butter alternative like tahini in place of thee peanut butter. Gluten-free: Check your protein powder and rice Chex cereal do be sure they are gluten-free. Some brands of Chex are gluten-free, but always check the label to be sure.
How Long Will a Protein Shake Last?
I like to make this protein shake fresh when I’m ready to eat it, but if you have any leftovers or want to make a day in advance that is just fine. Store the protein shake in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
