Start the day of right with an Orange Creamsicle Protein Smoothie #ad

The New Year is a fresh start, a time to take simple steps to improving yourself. It can be as easy as introducing pure, wholesome, and nutritious ingredients into your diet. Think of new ways to use common kitchen staples like: Shamrock Farms cottage cheese and organic milk. This Orange Creamsicle Protein Smoothie uses both mixed with fresh fruit and natural sweeteners.

Shamrock Farms milk is packed with 8 g of protein and 9 essentials nutrients in every serving. Add in cottage cheese for an extra creamy smoothie with an additional 13 grams of protein per serving that’s low in carbs and high in bone building calcium. That’s a great foundation for a nutritious AND delicious smoothie!

The ingredients are simple and things you can find right in your local grocer’s produce aisle and dairy case.
