Protein Plus Parfait Smoothie is the only parfait protein drink in the super-premium beverage category. Made from 100% natural ingredients, including the company's proprietary whey & soy protein blend, Parfait Smoothie packs 25 grams of protein per 15.2 oz bottle with a smooth, creamy finish, far superior to the chalky, artificial texture common to protein drinks. Protein Plus Parfait Smoothie offers no preservatives, artificial flavors, colors or genetically modified ingredients. One serving has just 180 calories and 3 grams of fiber. It is a satisfying, healthy, delicious choice for breakfast, for a refreshing afternoon snack or as a post-workout re-fuel.

"The Parfait Smoothie tastes so exceptional that you may be surprised to know that each bottle delivers 25 grams of protein," said Bryan Reese, chief marketing and innovation officer, Bolthouse Farms. "For people on the go, there's probably no easier way to make protein a part of your diet."
