5 Protein-Packed Thanksgiving Treats

Thanksgiving is a time for gathering, gratitude, and, of course, great food. But who says your holiday favorites can’t be delicious and packed with nutrients? Adding Nutrishop’s PRO7EIN Synthesis by Vitasport to some of your Thanksgiving recipes is a smart way to keep your protein intake high throughout the day.
