It delivers 20 grams of plant-based protein from Better Blends Vanilla Dream Protein Powder, along with chia seeds, fruit, and a creamy blend of lactose-free yogurt and almond milk.


The result is a vibrantly tasteful smoothie with a cool, citrusy flavor that will make you feel like you are sitting somewhere tropical, even if you are drinking it from your kitchen.
