The cold and flu season is officially here -- try this simple protein smoothie that will not only support your immune system with high amounts of lactoferrin and immunoglobulins, but also gives you 135% of your RDA of Vitamin C!  This recipe uses Vital Whey Natural Vanilla, but you could also use Vital Whey Natural, ImmunoPro or RenewPro.  Here's to your health! 

Servings

1 Serving (about 16 oz)

1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt

1 banana

4 large strawberries

½ cup milk

 1 scoop (20 grams) Vital Whey Natural Vanilla

Directions

1.  In a blender add yogurt, banana, strawberries, milk and ice (note: you can also sweeten more with stevia or agave nectar).

3.  Add Vital Whey Natural Vanilla 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.
