My four year old is big on smoothies. He drinks at least one a day for either breakfast or a mid-day snack. They always seem to hit the spot with him and gives him a great start to his day. I try to avoid adding extra sugars and most juices when it comes to making his smoothies but opt for protein powders and fruits instead. I’m not super big on giving my little guy protein powders all the time because of the list of ingredients listed and he has never been a huge fan of the taste of the natural protein.
Recently we had the opportunity to test out a different type of powder from Kura. It’s an all-new Kura: Start Your Smoothie powder that offers 14 grams of pure, grass-fed, antibiotic-free New Zealand dairy protein, vitamins and minerals while still having a great taste. For my four year old I would mix a scoop of the Vanilla Kura Start Your Smoothie, 4 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 4 oz strawberry greek yogurt and a handful of blueberries or strawberries and a little spinach and blended. He never complained at all and always drinks the entire smoothie.
Each serving offers:
- 14 grams of KURA’s Pure, bioavailable protein
- 100% RDA of Vitamin D, C, B6, B12 and six other vitamins and minerals
- 26 essential vitamins and minerals
- 5 grams of fiber
- 5.4 grams or 4 times the Omega-3’s found in a single serving of Salmon
- 4 billion CFU Active Probiotics
- Prebiotics
- GMO Free, Gluten-Free
- No added sugar, only natural occurring lactose from milk
- No Preservatives
- No artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors
1 cup Berry yogurt
1/2 cup Orange juice
1/3 cup any unsweetened almond or coconut milk
1 scoop or individual package Kura vanilla protein powder
Instructions:
Place ingredients listed above into the blender bottle
Add the Kura Vanilla protein
Drop the ball in and shake vigoriously
Add 1/4 cup of ice if desired
