Why We Love It
This smoothie is our go-to because it’s packed with nutrients and tastes amazing! The almond milk provides a creamy base without any dairy, while the spinach adds a dose of greens that you won’t even taste. Frozen bananas, blueberries, and strawberries give it a sweet, fruity flavor, and the frozen aspect makes the smoothie wonderfully chilled.
We’ve added peanut powder for a protein punch and a hint of nutty goodness, along with hemp hearts, which are a fantastic source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The cocoa powder gives it a chocolatey twist that feels like a treat, and the vegan protein powder helps keep us full and energized throughout the morning.
Tips for the Perfect Smoothie
Banana Magic: Using a frozen banana makes the smoothie extra creamy. Just peel and freeze your bananas ahead of time!
Berry Boost: Frozen berries are not only convenient but also help to keep the smoothie thick and cool.
Customize It: Feel free to adjust the recipe to your taste. Swap out the almond milk for your favourite plant-based milk, or add a spoonful of chia seeds for extra fibre.
Consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, add a bit more water until it reaches your desired consistency.
There you have it—our favourite vegan breakfast smoothie! It’s nutritious, delicious, and super easy to make. We love how versatile it is, and we hope you will too. Whether you’re rushing out the door or enjoying a leisurely morning at home, this smoothie is the perfect way to kickstart your day. Happy blending! ✨🥤
