17 High-Protein Vegan Smoothies That’ll Keep You Energized All Morning
StyleCaster Editors
Protein smoothies are simple enough—add some Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or inexpensive whey protein to your favorite smoothie ingredients, and you’re covered. But, high-protein vegan smoothies are a little trickier. Protein-rich dairy is off the table, and vegan protein powders from things like rice and peas tend to be a little bit more expensive.
All isn’t lost, though. There are plenty of ways to add a little protein to smoothies without adding animal products. High-protein vegan smoothies often contain nuts and nut butters, seeds (hemp, chia, and sunflower seeds are favorites), and even whole grains like oats that do pack a decent protein punch.
The high-protein vegan smoothie recipes below are simple to prepare, and guaranteed to satisfy. You can always add a little more protein with a scoop or two of vegan protein powder, but that’s up to you!
