Why You’ll Love This Peach Citrus Sunset

Expert Tips & Storage Advice
Protein powder choice has a bigger impact on flavor than most people expect. A chalky or poorly flavored protein powder can overpower the fruit and make the smoothie unpleasant. If you’ve ever had a smoothie that tasted bitter or artificial, the protein powder was almost always the issue.
Stick with a vanilla protein powder you already know you enjoy. If you’re testing a new one, try it in a simple smoothie before committing it to your routine.
This smoothie is best blended fresh. While it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, texture and flavor are noticeably better when blended right before drinking.
A better approach is to prep ingredients ahead of time:
- Portion frozen fruit in advance
- Keep juices and dry ingredients ready
- Blend fresh in the morning with minimal effort
