Start the new year off right with a super smoothie

Did the holidays leave you feeling full and sluggish? Give yourself a fresh start in 2022 with a healthy breakfast.

This quick and easy smoothie from registered dietitian Abbey Sharp is packed with protein, healthy fats and fibre, which will give your body the energy it needs to go about your day.

“Smoothies should be nutrient-dense, so I like to choose high-quality ingredients that optimize the nutrition in my glass,” says Sharp.

For easier digestion, she prefers using a2 Milk that doesn’t contain the A1 protein that researchers have found can be more difficult to digest. This product comes from cows that naturally produce milk without the A1 protein, so using it in your smoothie will fill you up without any digestive discomfort.
