In recent years, whey protein powder has become a popular supplement as it is a complete protein and full of probiotics. It may also be used in soups, smoothies or to feed pets and works as starter for cultured veggies and to make flavored sodas.
Use 1 cup of whey per quart of fresh juices & berries. Infuse the herbs in water, then strain before adding the whey. If the fruit isn’t sweet enough on its own, add 1TB of sugar to help the fermentation process along.
