If you are splitting into 2 servings, the protein content will be 18 grams per serving. For over 18 grams of protein per serving, simply add an additional half serving of protein powder.
Fiber: When using a serving of plant-based protein powder that contains 6 grams of fiber, in addition to the specified quantities of all the listed ingredients, this berry protein shake provides a total of approximately 20 grams of fiber for the entire mixture. If splitting into 2 servings, the fiber content will be ~10 grams of fiber per serving. If you want to decrease the fiber in this shake, you can choose a plant-based protein powder with less fiber and/or leave out the chia seeds.
