Classic Vegan Protein Smoothie (with or without protein powder)
This formula lets you choose exactly how you want to make your smoothie with fruit, plant milk, and protein of your choice. Choose between using protein powder or one of the many no-protein powder options provided! Make a perfect protein-rich smoothie every time!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 serving vegan protein (see notes)
- 1 - 1 ½ cups cup plant-based milk (see notes)
- 1 heaping cup frozen fruit (see notes)
- 1 - 2 boosters (optional) (see notes)
Instructions
- Choose 1 - 2 vegan protein options (see notes). Then choose your plant-based milk option. Some kinds of plant-based milk have a lot of extra protein so it's a great way to add even more protein to your smoothie if desired (see notes for a guide).
- To a blender, add your protein option, 1 cup of plant-based milk, your frozen fruit of choice, and any optional boosters you like. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add up to ½ cup more plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency.
