Pura takes on The Complete Dairy in a battle of the smoothies

 

 

Vescio v Randall – two AFLW stars are reminding young Australian women across the country that ‘milk loves you back’, as they go head to head in a ‘battle of the smoothies’.

 

As both players prepare to battle it out this Saturday night at Norwood Oval, the stakes will be just as high off the field, as fans decide who has the best smoothie recipe – giving one lucky supporter the chance to win a year’s supply of milk (as a $1000 grocery store voucher).

 

Pura milk has been much loved milk brand in South Australia for many decades and Adelaide Crows Football Club, while high protein milk brand, The Complete Dairy, was recently announced as the Official Recovery Partner of the Carlton Football Club’s AFL and AFLW programs.

 

With eight essential nutrients found naturally in milk from Pura and The Complete Dairy, it’s an easy way to help maintain healthy, active bodies.

Today the players are sharing their smoothie secrets, with Vescio highlighting the taste of The Complete Dairy, and Randall backing the flavour of Pura.

 

“At a time when nourishing your body is so critical, many young women and teen girls are missing out on the nutrients milk can provide,” the Crow’s Chelsea Randall said.

 

“That is why I have chosen to use Pura in my recipe and want to raise awareness for the Milk Loves You Back campaign.

 

Naturally, with 8 essential nutrients, Pura milk helps me look after my body and contains calcium which is great for my bones*, so I can be at my best on the field week after week,” Chelsea said.

 

Carlton forward Darcy Vescio says: “The Complete Dairy milk is an ideal way for me to get the protein I need for muscle growth and repair.*

 

“In smoothies or on cereal, it provides a variety of nutrients to support my training and game recovery.

 

“As a young woman, I also know I’m at a critical age where strengthening my bones is very important.”
