Try this refreshing smoothie the next time you need a little energy boost to get you through your day, or prehaps cool down after an intense workout.  It packs over 33g of protein, provides you with 80% of your recommended daily allowance of vitamin B-12, and is a great source of calcium!

I used Vital Whey Vanilla for this recipe, but feel free to use our Vital Whey Natural, ImmunoPro or RenewPro as well.  Keep in mind that if you are using IP or RP, the scoop comes in 5g servings instead of 20g like I am using here.  I hope you enjoy!  

Servings

  1 Serving (about 16 oz)

Ingredients

  1 cup (8 ounces) vanilla or plain yogurt

  1 banana

  ½ cup blueberries

  ½ cup milk

  1 cup ice

  1 teaspoon honey

  1 scoop (20 grams) of Vital Whey Vanilla

Directions

  1.  In a blender add yogurt, banana, blueberries, milk, ice and honey (note: add more or less honey to reach desired sweetness)

  2.  Blend on medium until all ingredients are combined and consistency is smooth (approx. 10 seconds).

  3.  Add whey protein powder and blend on pulse until JUST incorporated (approx. 3 seconds).

Which whey protein should I use in my smoothie? 

  Vital Whey Vanilla all natural vanilla flavor.

  Vital Whey Cocoa all natural chocolate flavor.

  Vital Whey Natural for those who prefer no sweetener or flavoring.  Can be added to ANY recipe! (Same as our ImmunoPro but in 600g jar)

  ImmunoPro for those who prefer no sweetener or flavoring.  Can be added to ANY recipe!

  RenewPro for those who want a lightly sweetened product but prefer to add their own flavoring.  Can be added to ANY recipe! 

Special Instructions

To minimize potential damage to the fragile protein components when mixing your smoothie please follow these steps:

• Avoid highly acidic fruits or juices (citrus, pineapple, kefir, etc). To best maintain the native proteins within Well Wisdom’s Proserum, our whey is not subjected to any acid treatment during manufacture, and we recommend avoiding acidic ingredients when consuming our products.
• Avoid adding whey to any HOT liquids. Again, Proserum is minimally processed and it is best to avoid adding any additional heat with your smoothie.
• For least amount of agitation, it is best to add all other ingredients in your smoothie and blend them first.  Add whey protein at the end, and blend for a few seconds to ensure a smooth mix.
