While the Captain Immunity smoothie shares the taste of strawberries and mango with a creamy base of non-fat milk, frozen yogurt and whey protein, the Antioxidant Avenger gets its vibrant color from leafy greens, passion fruit, mango, pineapple and bananas. Also featuring Defend+ Blast, there's the Berry Defender smoothie with almond milk, orange juice and chia seeds. This trio of vitamin-rich smoothies features a proprietary supplement with 1,000 milligrams of Vitamin C per serving, plus Vitamin D, zinc and antioxidants.
