Watermelon Protein Splash
Fresh, Fruity & Protein-Packed
A little fruit can completely transform a regular protein shake. Watermelon gives this one a naturally fresh, juicy flavour and makes it especially refreshing. If you’re adding fruit to your protein shake, vanilla-flavoured whey works beautifully because it complements the fruit instead of overpowering it.

Ipshita’s Note
Adding a little fruit to your protein powder can make a simple shake taste absolutely delicious. When using fruit, I prefer vanilla-flavoured whey, as its mild flavour works well without masking the freshness of the fruit.
Tip
Use chilled watermelon for an extra-refreshing shake. You can adjust the water slightly depending on how thick you like your shake.
