This is the third of my three meal placement smoothies that are gut-friendly and have my dietitian-approved balance of macronutrients.
Revitalize your day with a nourishing and gut-friendly meal replacement – the High-Protein Cherry Smoothie. It’s designed to support gut health while doubling as a satisfying meal replacement.
This blend combines low-fat kefir and milk with the vibrant flavor of cherries. From the satiating power of banana, to the gut-loving properties of chia seeds, and a potent punch of 20 grams of protein from vanilla protein powder, this smoothie is your go-to for a fulfilling and nutritious meal.
