Notes
Order the monk fruit honey on this site. It comes in flavors too! It's all I use.
Options: Add a small banana, add chopped mint leaves, swap lemon for lime, use all plain yogurt or all protein powder (but the combination is nice).
The nutrition calculation is provided as a reference as the numbers may change depending on the brands and ingredients you use or add. I use monk fruit honey so there is no sugar. If you use honey or sweetened yogurt, your sugar/carb numbers will be higher.
