I make a smoothie with the Propel’s Packets with Calcium.
I use Ice (about halfway filling the blender) 1 cup orange juice, a banana, 1 container of coconut yogurt, about a cup of pineapple (canned or fresh) and the Propel’s Packets with Calcium, and blend. A fantastic Tropical Smoothie and calcium to boot.

Hi Nadine,
I love the idea of a fortified smoothie!
Good luck! And btw, what’s your favorite brand for Coconut yogurt? It’s one of my favorite flavors and I always have a hard time finding it.
Thanks!

I love the propel water packets because they are soooo simple.
I usually add them to my special green tea mix:
1 carton of welches passion fruit juice
3 lemonade propel packets with calcium
3 teabags of tazo green tea.
Make the tea first in a gallon jug, and then add the lemonade(as much as you want) and then the packets, and lastly add ice. The mix is really refreshing
it doesn’t matter how much you add to each ingredient, all that matters is they taste amazing together.

3/4 Cup Chilled Orange Juice
3 Cups Chilled Unsweetened Cranberry Juice
6 Packets Propel’s Packets with Calcium (or adapt for your preference)

Aunt Minis Honey Lemonade Recipe: 1/2 gallon warm water, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice. Just mix it all with your hands (their warmth will disolve the honey and sugar) and pour mixture into a gallon container filled 3/4 with ice. I like to use wild honey from the local food coop…it has a unique spicey flavor.

Propel Lip gloss
Use petroleum jelly (vaseline) and melt in a microwave safe glass container. Use as much as you desire, I recommend 1/2 cup. Melt in your microwave similar to melting chocolate.
Start with 30 seconds, stir, continue at 10-15 second intervals until completely melted. Do not let it boil.
Add your favorite flavor of Propel Powder Mix to flavor the lip gloss. You can add food coloring to color, as well as edible cake glitter to add a glistening touch, if you desire.
Place smaller amounts of mixture into air tight containers or lip gloss pots and allow to cool and become more firm.
Great for gift giving, party favors or a sleep over craft!!!

Looks like a lot of people have the same idea of a smoothie! I like to put in vanilla yogurt, a handful of frozen berries, some honey if I’m feeling super sweet and any of the fruity propel with calcium packets. I feel I’m getting an added boost first thing in the morning and it tastes great!

First you need 3 packs of your favorite Propel mix, 2 cans of fat-free sweetened condensed milk, 1 tub of Cool Whip, and 1 graham cracker pie crust!
Mix the condensed milk, Cool Whip, and Propel together (don’t over-mix b/c you don’t want the Cool Whip to lose its Whip!)
Dump it into the pie crust and stick it in the freezer! Wait until it has a nice, firm consistency, then ENJOY!!!
