A marble smoothie is definitely more fun than a regular smoothie! To build the smoothie layers without any fuss, it’s important to have a thick, creamy consistency. Fortunately, it’s even easier when you use Natrel Plus 2% milk, which contains twice as much protein per serving as regular milk.
With frozen fruit and a little Natrel Plus, you can add your own creative touch by pouring smoothie layers into the glass and creating different marbled patterns with the back of a spoon. The only limit is your imagination!
One smoothie contains 27 g of protein. Enjoy as a satisfying snack or at breakfast to keep you fuelled up until your next meal!
