Ingredients You Need

Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder: the protein powder you choose can and will affect both the taste and the texture of the smoothie (learn more below).

Strawberries: they can be fresh or frozen strawberries however know that frozen strawberries will make the protein shake creamier.

Dairy-free milk: we like to use homemade creamy hemp milk for our smoothies. However, almond milk or another non-dairy milk works just fine.

Dates: skip the added sugar and use dates! Dates are a natural sweetener and a great way to boost glucose stores post-workout.

Oats: opt for gluten-free as needed. Regular oats help thicken the protein shake and gives you a bit of extra fuel.

Important Teaching Tips

The kind of protein you choose will affect the strawberry protein smoothie. This strawberry protein shake was made with vegan protein powder which absorbs more liquid than whey protein. Likewise, every vegan protein powder is slightly different so different blends will alter the texture.

Learn more about choosing protein powder for your goals.

If using frozen strawberries, place them into the blender last so make sure they process smoothly. Fresh strawberries will leave the protein smoothie slightly thinner.

The strawberry protein shake can be topped with any of your favorites below:

• Coconut whipped cream
• Protein granola
• Fresh fruit
• Peanut butter
