Strawberry Vegan Protein Shake Recipe
Strawberry Protein Shake Recipe: this easy vegan protein shake recipe is smooth, creamy & packed with strawberries! Healthy, High-Protein, Dairy-Free. 5 simple ingredients, totally guilt-free, dairy-free and packed with a whopping 24 grams of plant-based protein.
As far back as I can remember, my mom has always had a love for a good strawberry protein shake. Okay, let’s be honest, her strawberry protein shake was really what some might call a strawberry milkshake. And it was her favorite splurge after a long, loooong week of going to the gym.
But now that she’s older, working out even harder than before (my mom’s seriously amazing), and unfortunately, not allowed to partake in her former “strawberry protein shake,” I can happily share this healthy strawberry vegan protein shake recipe with her.
And this time, this strawberry protein shake is an actual strawberry protein shake. And not, you know, a strawberry milkshake. Or anything. 😉
Strawberry Vegan Protein Shake Recipe
Today’s strawberry vegan protein shake recipe is made with just 5 simple ingredients, totally guilt-free, dairy-free and packed with a whopping 24 grams of plant-based protein! Whoop whoop! Best of all? My mom’s the hugest fan of this treat and asks for it on the daily. (And I mean, she lives only 1,395 miles away from me. No biggie.)
My Everyday Strawberry Protein Shake Recipe
Following a largely plant-based diet, I sometimes struggle to get my protein intake in without having to eat all the tofu, lentils, quinoa and spirulina on this earth. And sometimes, let’s be real here, there’s no time to make all the things. So, I turn to one of my favorite everyday vegan protein shake recipes to remedy this:
- 3 Ingredient Chocolate Vegan Protein Shake Recipe
- This incredible Strawberry Vegan Protein Shake Recipe
- Triple Berry Smoothie (Vegan, Dairy-Free) (no protein powder)
- The complete Chocolate Vegan Protein Shake recipe (with the exact amount of fruits, veggies, etc. that I use)

Just 4 ingredients for this Vegan Strawberry Shake Recipe

Great Tools for the Best Vegan Strawberry Protein Shake
- Vegan Protein Powder – Erik and I went on the vegan protein powder odyssey. Oh my gosh did we. It was long-winded, a bit yucky and totally trying at times. Okay, it was really yucky. Here is what we found out in our Best Vegan Protein Powder journey. 🙂
- My Favorite Personal Blender – seriously the most amazing personal blender I’ve used. And I’ve used them all. Some are too flimsy and feel like they’re gonna fall apart during the first blend, others are a bit too fancy and have too many toggles. This one’s just right. (Yep, I’m feeling like goldilocks right now.) Don’t forget extra cups!
- Where to Buy Ingredients: Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder | MCT Oil | Maca Powder | Paleo Chocolate Chunks | Peanut Flour
- Recommended Tools: My Favorite Blender | Extra Blender Cups
Now we can all raise our actual vegan strawberry protein shakes (not milkshakes hehe) and toast to yummy, frozen + refreshing blended drinks getting us through the longest days (at the “gym” and not). I hope you love this strawberry vegan protein shake recipe as much as my mom and I do! Let me know what you think in the comments below. ‘Til the next kitchen adventure…

Hi Demeter,
We are definitely on the same page with this one….my fav. Love my Ninja blender and we also have the same preference in protein powder. I usually add a handful of fresh spinach (even though it makes it green) and some collagen. Can’t get healthier than that!
Hope you are enjoying your Minnesota home.
Hi Bonnie! I love being on the same page. 🙂 So much yes on sneaking that fresh spinach in—you know I love sneaking those greens for a quick healthy boost. Thank you so much!! Hope you are doing well, staying safe and healthy. 🙂
Looks so smooth and creamy! I can’t believe it’s vegan! Can’t wait to give it a try!
I know you’ll just love it Beth!
I love strawberry and this shake looks amazing. I’m going to grab some vanilla protein powder next time I go to the store so I can try this.
You totally should! It adds such a great texture and flavor! 😋
What a delicious looking strawberry shake. It’s not quite strawberry season yet, but I’ll definitely be making this once the summer berry harvest hits the market.
I’ll bet this tastes amazing with freshly harvested strawberries!
Such a great way to start the day with! Love how easy and simple it is!
Exactly! It’s one of my fave easy breakfasts!
This sounds absolutely delicious and creamy – I love that it is so protein packed too!
It’s so creamy and delicious! And satisfying. 😉
