Some other fruit options you could use are: pear, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, or banana!
PB2 powder is similar to peanut butter, but without any of the oil. This option is lower in calories than regular PB, but it tastes just like regular peanut butter! You can find it in the aisle right next to the PB jars. If you cannot eat peanut butter, you can use almond butter, or another nut butter instead!

Hemp seeds are a plant protein, high in fiber and omega 3s. They are not absolutely necessary for this recipe, but they are a great addition if you have them at home! You can completely omit these and add extra chia seeds or add a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds instead!
Feel free to make this recipe your own; add your favorite nuts and seeds or your favorite fruit! Adding a couple different ingredients each time can make it feel like a completely new meal each morning! So have fun with it, and enjoy a high protein breakfast you can throw together in under five minutes.
