Vegan Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie
This healthy Vegan Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie is creamy and rich. If weight loss is your goal, this filling vegan smoothie recipe can be a light meal replacement.
Vegan fruit smoothies are my go-to for a light, easy lunch. I don’t like cold breakfasts but if that is your thing, a smoothie for breakfast is a healthy quick option also.
A lot of vegan smoothie flavors might seem like they won’t be creamy without that dairy, but there are lots of ways to get that silky texture without the milk.
VEGAN STRAWBERRY BANANA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
Here’s what you need:
- frozen strawberries
- frozen bananas
- vegan vanilla protein powder
- unsweetened almond milk
SMOOTHIE TIPS
- Use a frozen banana! When you have ripe bananas peel them, put them into a Ziploc, and store them in the freezer. These frozen bananas really add creaminess to your smoothies.
- Try out protein powders before committing. There are a lot of companies that sell single-serve protein powder packets that allow you to test drive the product before you buy a big container of it. Protein powders are definitely not all created equally. I like SunWarrior if I’m going with a vegan protein powder.
- Smoothies are best enjoyed right away but if you are taking it with you on the go make sure you have a good shaker cup, keep it cold as possible and give the smoothie a really good shake before drinking.

I like to think of smoothies as a multivitamin in a glass. I love a whole foods approach to eating and a healthy smoothie is a fantastic way to nourish your body with a host of essential vitamins and minerals.

Hope you’re having a great day!

Smoothies are so perfect to cool off with! Strawberry banana is one of my all time favorites. What kind of protein do you use? I have been looking for hemp protein (at Whole Foods) and all I could find were the seeds.
I use Sun Warrior. They have a plant based one that uses pea, hemp and cranberry. I find the best price for it is to order through iherb and it’s under $40. Worth.every.penny.
