The nutritional factor

Both smoothies are made with whey protein, which is a complete protein, meaning it supplies all nine essential amino acids your body can’t make on its own, according to a report by the Cleveland Clinic. Additionally, the pumpkin seeds add a little more protein, plus nutrients like magnesium and zinc.

Meanwhile, whole fruits, vegetables and seeds provide some fibre, which acts as fuel for healthy gut bacteria and supports regular digestion. Lastly, both drinks include a probiotic culture, which is generally good for you, as it provides live beneficial bacteria and yeasts that support digestion, boost your immune system, and help maintain a healthy balance of microbes in your gut.
