We’ve all seen the protein shake powders and the refrigerated protein smoothies, but Welch’s Protein Smoothies are a new category of dairy-free beverage. These convenient snacks are frozen, so you can enjoy a very cool fruit experience.
As a heads up, these freezer pouches are produced by a company called Big Easy Blends, not Welch’s. They license the Welch’s name.
Welch’s Protein Smoothies put the Squeeze on Frozen Dairy-Free Drinks
Just like your favorite smoothie, Welch’s Protein Smoothies are meant to be enjoyed a little icy. The pouches are kept frozen, but removed from the freezer to thaw for just 5 to 10 minutes before eating. If you’re starving, you can place one under warm water for 30 seconds instead. Then you massage the pouch, open, and squeeze to enjoy.
