I have a confession to make: I need a little help in the smoothie department (food blogger gasp!) It’s true, I have the best intentions, throw some stuff in the blender and find myself thinking the result is just ‘meh’. Enter Bolthouse Farms.
Their products – ranging from delicious beverages (juices, smoothies, protein plus) to amazing yogurt salad dressings (used on this salad) and carrots are always spot on and taste amazing!
Whenever I go grocery shopping I like to pick up a smoothie or protein drink to keep in the house for when I need some more fruits and veggies or a little snack. Last time I was grocery shopping I came across Bolthouse Farms’ new product – Vanilla Bean Protein Plus.
This protein drink has all the protein,vitamins, and minerals a protein drink offers, but seriously tastes like a vanilla milkshake!
It was so good I emailed Bolthouse to profess my love, and they generously sent me some some product coupons for me to give away to some awesome Sweetphi readers. In addition to the Bolthouse Farms product giveaway, I’m giving each of the two winners a $15 Target Gift Card.

I’d like to try these!!!! I love a good vanilla milkshake. Mom and dad have a smoothie maker that was mine. We used to get mixes from sams.
Sweetphi says
I totally didn’t know they had smoothie mixes, I’m definitely intrigued, I’ll need to be on the lookout for them next time i’m at Costco or Sams, thanks for commenting 🙂
Jordan says
Mmmm, vanilla chai! As for smoothies, a little xanthan gum or freezing almond/soy milk ice cubes seems to thicken them up nicely.

What a great idea of making almond/soy milk ice cubes for smoothies, will definitely need to try that! Thanks for commenting and entering!
