The Blueberry Blues Smoothie – Healthy & Helpful Tips with Melissa
The Blueberry Blues Smoothie
Created By Melissa Bistricer, MS, RDN
Feeling the blues that the school year is starting and you need to come up with creative breakfasts for your children? Well guess what…. InViteⓇ Health one and only Dietitian Melissa did the work for you with the week of smoothies already posted and this amazing blueberry smoothie. There should be no regrets making this for your kids for breakfast with the added benefit of using the Whey Protein Isolate powder. †
The Whey Protein Isolate powder is great for supporting lean muscle mass and muscle protein. As kids age we want to ensure they are getting proper nutrition and protein to support muscle growth. This is providing us with essential proteins derived from whey, which is a liquid substance natural byproduct of cheese production. Essentially the amino acids are separated from the dairy products so all the fat and lactose is removed which is helpful for lactose intolerance individuals. Whey Protein Powder has also helped to improve satiation, or the feeling of fullness, when taken after a meal.†
