Combine almond milk and sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Stir constantly and continue a rolling boil for 5 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and add 1 scoop protein powder. Mix with hand mixer until protein powder dissolved.
Stir in marshmallows, chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until marshmallows are melted.
Quickly pour into a greased pan. Cool; cut into 3 x 1-1/2 inch pieces, making 18 pieces.

Protein powders vary in protein, potassium, sodium and phosphorus per scoop. Your dietitian can guide you to the best kind for you.
Some brands of almond milk have phosphorus additives; check the ingredient label for phosphorus additives.
Look for protein powders without phosphorus additives, if possible to help keep phosphorus low in this recipe.
Let fudge cool completely before cutting.
For people with diabetes, cut fudge into 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inch pieces and count as one carbohydrate choice.
