Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Frozen Mango: buy a bag of frozen or slice and freeze from fresh
- Frozen Banana: always keep frozen bananas on hand for smoothies and desserts! Using a frozen banana makes your smoothie nice and creamy, so you don't have to water it down with ice.
- Non-Dairy Greek Style Yogurt: greek-style yogurt creates a thick and creamy texture and adds even more protein. I've been loving Kite Hill's greek-style yogurt
- Soy Milk: you can use any non-dairy milk, but soy milk in particular adds another boost of protein
- Vegan Protein Powder: I used Naked Nutrition's Almond Powder - this is my go-to for a naturally sweet, neutral flavored, digestion-friendly protein. I love this brand because of how clean there ingredients are. See notes below for more protein recommendations.
Pro Tip: Use frozen mango & banana for the thickest smoothie texture - no ice needed.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1. Add all the ingredients to a blender. For easy blending and no stuck protein powder, start with the fruit, then yogurt, then protein, and finish with milk.
Step 2. Blend on the smoothie setting or on high for 1 minute, until smooth. Serve immediately or store for later (see below for notes).
Tips for the best vegan protein smoothie
Add your favorite toppings. Serve in a bowl and the topping possibilities are literally endless: fresh fruit, granola, coconut, almonds, chia, hemp seeds, more non-dairy yogurt, other seeds like pepitas or flaxseeds, other nuts like walnuts, nut butters, chocolate chips, cereals and more!
Make it easy on your blender. If your ingredients are very frozen, let them thaw slightly before blending.
Add sweetness. If you're using an unsweetened protein powder or just want a bit more sweetness in your breakfast, add a few extra teaspoons of maple or date syrup. I find the smoothie to be sweet enough with just my half banana.
Choose the protein-rich options. Soy milk and a non-dairy yogurt with protein added in are both great options for your smoothie, since they'll be giving you extra protein. Choose those options over regular non-dairy milk or yogurt.
Protein powder. I used Naked Nutrition's Almond Powder - this is my go-to for a naturally sweet, neutral flavored, digestion-friendly protein. I love this brand because of how clean there ingredients are. If you're looking for other completely unsweetened protein powder you can try their vegan seed protein powder or even their peanut powder. In the past I've also used Naked's Vegan Vanilla Shake protein powder. I also like the Natreve brand Peanut Butter flavor, and they have a French vanilla flavor that would work well in this smoothie.
Use frozen fruit, not ice. Ice makes for a watery smoothie that doesn't store well. Instead, use frozen fruit (as opposed to fresh.)
Granola Toppings
Make your favorite granola recipe to go in, on, or alongside. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Vanilla Almond Granola
- 7-Ingredient Oil-Free Nut-Free Granola
- Chia Granola
- Banana Walnut Granola (no added sugars!)
- Coconut Granola
FAQ & Expert Tips
I store my smoothie leftovers in a freezer safe bag. They can last for months in the freezer.
Defrost in the fridge overnight or quickly in the microwave.
Grab some plastic or other freezer-safe cups and pour in the smoothie. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Then defrost in the fridge the night before you want to drink your smoothie.
