- 3/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (more below)
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons chocolate vegan protein powder (or two scoops of the vegan protein powder that I use)*
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
Optional Boosters
- For ENERGY: 1/4 teaspoon gelatinized maca powder
- For Fruit: swap 1/2 cup ice cubes with 1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen fruit
- For Veggies: 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup frozen spinach
- For Protein Boost: 2 tablespoons peanut powder
- For Healthy Fats: 2 tablespoons unsalted, natural creamy almond butter or other nut butter, or MCT oil

Instructions
- This is the blender I use to make my smoothies. It’s easy to use, holds the perfect amount, and can be left to keep blending while I walk away (it runs by itself). Not sponsored, I just love this!
- Add all ingredients in the order listed: 3/4 cup non-dairy milk, vegan protein powder, MCT oil, ice cubes and ½ cup milk. This is the order that I’ve found to be smoothest, without any protein powder getting stuck in a clump anywhere.
- Depending on your daily nutritional requirements/needs, feel free to add maca powder, peanut powder, nut butter or MCT oil.
- Close blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain. Enjoy immediately!

- *Most vegan protein powders will work with this amount in your protein shake. However, some are more highly concentrated & can create thicker shakes than desired. Try the recommended 1 serving listed on your protein powder and adjust as needed.

- What’s my favorite vegan protein powder? Chocolate Vegan Protein Powder: this brand is my go-to chocolate vegan protein powder. My favorite thing to do is use 1 scoop of the chocolate flavor and 1 scoop of the vanilla vegan protein powder. Such a good combo! When I need to switch thing up (because protein powder can get tedious, folks!), I go to my second favorite vegan protein powder.
