Core benefits of Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies:

Protein for satiety

• Dairy protein, like that found in Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies, is one of the highest quality proteins.(1)
• Protein is the most satisfying nutrient, helping to keep you feeling full (2)
• Protein quality is also important, as higher quality, complete proteins (with all essential amino acids present) can be absorbed and utilised by the body more effectively.(1)
• Research shows that consuming protein frequently across the day can help with hunger management and cravings. (3)

Protein to power your day and support muscle health and post workout recovery

• Timing your protein intake matters just as much as the amount – and spacing it out across the day can make a real difference.
• Consuming around 25-30g protein in regular meals spread across the day maximises muscle growth and muscle repair. (4)
• Adequate recovery has been shown to reduce fatigue and enhance performance. (5)

Prebiotics for a healthy gut

• A healthy gut supports more than just digestion – it can also play a role in immunity and even how you feel. Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies contain the prebiotic GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides), which feed the good bacteria in your gut. (6,7)

Micronutrients and electrolytes to support energy and brain health

• Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies naturally contain essential micronutrients like vitamins B5, B12 and iodine that help give you that little extra pep in your step—supporting energy levels, brain health and cognition.
• They also naturally contain electrolytes to help maintain hydration and support your body’s daily function.

So why Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies for exercise performance and recovery?

Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothies contain key nutrients to support exercise recovery including 30g high quality protein for muscle repair and naturally occurring electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium) to rehydrate the muscle. (5)
