This smoothie is designed with recovery in mind. The combination of Greek yogurt and almond butter provides a powerful protein punch, essential for muscle repair and keeping you full post-workout.
But it's not just about the protein, important though it is. This smoothie is also rich in antioxidants, thanks to the frozen cherries and 100% pomegranate juice.

WellVine™ brings a unique blend of real food nutrients that boost fiber content and add a subtle, natural sweetness without any added sugars. This helps maintain your energy levels and supports gut health, which is crucial after intense exercise.
