Notes

*Unsweetened almond milk - can be subbed for any milk of your choosing but the calories may differ.
*Stevia - can be subbed for any 0 calorie granulated sweetener of your choosing but be mindful that the stevia I use is a 1:2 ratio of stevia to sugar. Therefore this recipe would require 30g sugar.
