Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (more below)
- 3/4 cup frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple)
- 3 tablespoons chocolate vegan protein powder* (or 1 scoop of this chocolate one)
- 3 tablespoons vanilla vegan protein powder* (or 1 scoop of this vanilla one)
- 4 drops liquid stevia (optional)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
Optional
- 1/4 teaspoon gelatinized maca powder for energy
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil for improved brain function
- 2 tablespoon paleo chocolate chunks for fun!
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).
- Add all ingredients in the order listed: 3/4 cup non-dairy milk, frozen fruit, chocolate vegan protein powder, vanilla vegan protein powder, stevia, vanilla, spinach and 1/2 cup non-dairy milk. This is the order that I’ve found to create the smoothest shake, without any protein powder getting stuck in a clump anywhere.
- Depending on your daily nutritional 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.
- A Note on Fruits: I love using frozen fruits in this recipe. If you like sweeter protein shakes, use sweeter fruits like pineapples, mangoes and blueberries. For a lighter sweetness, try peaches and strawberries, or swap 1/4 cup of the frozen fruit with ice cubes.
