Common Questions

What are soy flakes?

Soy flakes are flattened soybeans that add extra protein and crunch. You can find them in most health food stores.

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, simply swap the whey protein for your favorite plant-based protein powder. Ensure it is a brand you enjoy the taste of.
