Substitutions

Vedge nutrition has an amazing cinnamon roll flavoured protein powder that would be a great substitute for the vanilla protein powder. You can shop their protein using my discount code: EVANNRYAN.

You can use any dairy free milk that you prefer. 

If you don't have pumpkin spice, you can use a mixture of cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg and/or all spice. 

You could add a little lemon to the "icing" to make it more like a cream cheese inspired frosting.
