Ingredients to Make a Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie:

• Frozen Blueberries: I like to use wild blueberries
• Plant Milk: I like to use unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
• Cashew butter or Almond butter
• Rolled oats
• Vanilla protein powder: Feel free to use any brand of vegan protein powder you like. I love to use the Ora Organic So Lean So Clean Plant-Based Protein.
• Seeds: flax seeds and hemp seeds.

How to Make a Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie:

1. Add the plant milk first, then all of the other ingredients to the blender.
2. Blend on low speed until the ingredients start to combine, then increase the speed until everything is smooth, creamy, and consistent in color.
3. Enjoy right away.

Can I make a Protein Smoothie Without Protein Powder?

More Nut Butter: A great way to replace protein powder in your smoothie is to add an additional spoonful of nut butter.

More Seeds: feel free to add more flax and hemp seeds. 

Protein Rich Non-Dairy Milks: Soy milk, pea milk, and hemp milk are all great plant milks that are high in protein.

Greek Yogurt: Non-dairy greek yogurt is a great protein booster if you don’t have a powder on hand.

Silken Tofu: Not only will silken tofu add extra protein, but it will make this smoothie extra creamy without changing the flavor.

Can I make a smoothie with water instead of milk?

Yes, however the smoothie will not be as creamy.

How to Add More Nutrition to This Smoothie:

Greens: add mild-flavored greens, like kale or spinach. Both are packed w/nutrients, but won’t change the flavor of the smoothie.

More Oats: Add another ¼ cup of oats for more protein and fiber. This is great for keeping you feeling full for longer. Just note that you may need to add an extra splash of plant milk to your smoothie.

Even More Seeds: Instead of adding more hemp and flax, you can also add chia seeds for extra fiber, protein, and Omega-3s, or even sunflower seeds for more protein and iron.
