Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day of celebration for Mexico's victory over France in the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. While we can't currently encourage you to get together with family and friends for usual Cinco de Mayo festivities, we do want to make this day that much more fun while keeping things nutritionally advantageous.
That's why we've put together our 3 best mock-tail recipes using our Clear Whey Isolates. These healthy protein drinks were carefully concocted by our resident recipe maker, Vanetta Mayers. Find the right recipe for you below.
