FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?

Oat flour helps create the shake’s unique cookie dough texture without adding a gritty taste. Using regular flour is not recommended as it may affect the flavor and consistency.

What can I substitute for protein powder?

If you don’t have protein powder, you can try adding Greek yogurt or silken tofu for extra protein, though the taste and texture will vary slightly.
