Fun Fact: Blackberries are rich in anthocyanins, the powerful plant compounds that give them their deep purple color and antioxidant strength. These antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress and support a healthy inflammatory balance.

Blackberries are also exceptionally high in manganese, a key mineral that supports antioxidant function. This is especially important for anyone with SNPs in the SOD enzyme (superoxide dismutase) since manganese is the essential cofactor that allows the enzyme to function properly.

Chia seeds provide omega 3 fats that complement the antioxidants in blackberries, making this smoothie a delicious way to fuel your body with both flavor and function.

The blackberry protein smoothie recipe is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, with a creamy, citrusy flavor that’s perfectly sweet. Mango complements the tartness of and slightly gritty texture of blackberry to yield the best tasting blackberry protein smoothie.

You’ll find a mix of protein sources throughout these high protein smoothie recipes, including plant based protein powder, collagen powder, pumpkin seed protein, soy milk, and nutrient dense superfoods like chia and hemp seeds.

In many of these healthy high protein smoothies you will find a combination of ½ a scoop of vanilla protein powder, collagen powder and soy milk as the protein sources. I found that the combination of these ingredients yielded the best tasting smoothies high in protein. 

Truvani plant based protein in the vanilla flavor was the protein powder I chose to use in my smoothie recipes as I liked the taste and that it was naturally sweetened with monk fruit which doesn't leave an overly sweet aftertaste like stevia or many other protein powders on the market that use other artificial sweeteners or stevia. 

However it is a sweet tasting protein powder like many other protein powders that helps to sweeten the smoothies. For this reason I only used half a scoop of protein powder in my high protein smoothie recipes as I like it when the natural fruit flavors shine through instead of the sweet vanilla protein powder flavor overpowering the taste of the smoothie. 

You can use your favorite protein powder instead of Truvani, just ensure the vanilla flavor and moderate natural sweetness to yield the same taste. I also encourage you to research the quality of your protein powder of choice as many protein powders, especially plant based can have high levels of heavy metals. The clean label project is a fantastic resource to help you find clean protein powders. 

I was inspired to make these high protein smoothie recipes as a quick and easy way to help meet my protein requirements. As I am getting older (pushing 40… where does the time go?) I have been more aware about trying to preserve the muscle mass that I have, which is especially important as we age. Since I primarily eat plant based, making high protein smoothies is such an easy way for me to boost my protein intake. 

The goal when making these high protein smoothie recipes was to also make them taste delicious! Thus taste and texture was always on the forefront of my mind when making and testing these recipes.

These are not your classic add a full scoop of overly sweet protein powder with some fruit and your done. Instead I took the time to combine a variety or protein sources for the best taste, texture and nutrition. 

So, stock up on some high quality protein sources and frozen fruit to make these smoothies including: 

• Truvani plant based protein powder, vanilla
• Vital Proteins collagen peptides
• Soy milk
• Hemp seeds
• Pumpkin seed protein powder (Omega Nutrition)
• Chia seeds

These high protein smoothies truly prove that nourishing your body doesn’t have to mean compromising on flavor. Each recipe offers a unique combination of protein sources, creamy textures, and natural sweetness from fruit, creating smoothies that feel both wholesome and satisfying.

Whether you prefer something light and refreshing or thick and dessert-like, these blends are designed to keep you full, energized, and craving another sip. Now let’s get into each of these high protein smoothies and why you’ll love them.

The ripe banana gives the smoothie a naturally sweet, creamy foundation, balanced by a small squeeze of lemon juice. That little bit of citrus makes a big difference as it cuts through the sweetness of the banana and brightens the flavor.

• 2 tablespoons hemp seeds

• ½ scoop Truvani plant based protein, vanilla
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ cup ice

Instructions:

1. Peel and freeze 1 ½ bananas ahead of time. For easier blending, break each banana into quarters before freezing. Make sure your banana is perfectly ripe for the best flavor. If it is under ripe, it will taste starchy and not sweet enough; if it is overripe, the sweetness and banana flavor will overpower the smoothie.
2. Add the frozen banana pieces, almond milk, hemp seeds, collagen peptides, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and ice to a high speed blender.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.

Tips and Substitutions

• Higher protein and creamier base: Use soy milk instead of almond milk for extra protein and richness
• More satiety: Add an extra tablespoon of hemp seeds or a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter for a more filling breakfast smoothie
• Adjust sweetness: Skip the lemon for a sweeter dessert like smoothie, or keep the lemon juice for a brighter, more refreshing balance.

Pro tip: Freezing the banana before blending gives this smoothie its creamy, thick base and a slightly frosty texture. Choose a banana that is just ripe but not overripe for the best flavor balance.

This high protein beet smoothie blends frozen mango and raspberries with ⅓ cup of raw beet, which yields a naturally sweet  and tart base so that the beet does not overpower the flavor. Soy milk gives it a smooth and creamy texture while collagen and plant based protein powder provide an impressive boost of protein.

With 27 grams of protein, this smoothie is ideal as a high protein liver cleansing smoothie to start your morning and help hit your protein intake goals. I love the combination of beets with mango, raspberries, and the bright citrus notes from fresh lemon juice.

The optional liposomal vitamin C adds an extra immune and liver detox boost. Both beets and phosphatidylcholine in the liposomal vitamin C are fantastic for promoting bile flow and thus phase 3 liver detox.

It took me several attempts to perfect this recipe. In earlier versions, I experimented with banana, strawberries, and orange juice, but I found the combination a bit too sweet when paired with the vanilla protein powder. The tartness of raspberries cuts through the sweetness of mango and protein powder perfectly. Adding ½ cup of ice thickens the smoothie and mellows the flavors, giving you the best tasting beet smoothie.

This beet protein smoothie is the perfect choice when you are craving something cleansing, nourishing, and just a little different. It is creamy, refreshing, and loaded with plant protein, antioxidants and liver cleansing phytonutrients that leave you feeling energized and satisfied.

Beet Protein Smoothie Recipe

• ½ cup frozen mango
• ⅓ cup raw beets peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup unsweetened soy milk
• ½ scoop Truvani plant based protein, vanilla
• 10 grams Vital Proteins collagen peptides
• ½ cup frozen raspberries
• ½ cup unsweetened coconut water
• ½ cup ice

How to Make the Beet and Raspberry Smoothie

Peel and chop the raw beets.

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.

Tips and Substitutions

If you prefer a creamier, higher-protein smoothie, swap the coconut water for soy milk.

To make this smoothie more nourishing with a higher fat and protein content, making it more suitable as a breakfast smoothie that will keep you satiated, add 1-2 tablespoons of hemp seeds. You can also use hemp seeds instead of collagen powder to keep this smoothie completely plant based.

Liposomal vitamin C with phosphatidylcholine for added support for phase 3 liver detox and antioxidant protection. Adds slight citrus notes that complement the beet detox smoothie.

For an extra boost of protein, you can add more protein powder, collagen powder, or hemp seeds. I love the flavor of Truvani vanilla protein powder, but I only used ½ a scoop as a full scoop is too sweet for me. The addition of collagen and soy milk provides an extra protein source without adding extra sweetness.

Boost your protein intake with this creamy and refreshing orange protein smoothie. Natural orange flavor shines through from the frozen orange, fresh orange juice, and a touch of zest, while soy milk, vanilla protein powder, and collagen create a silky high protein base that delivers 29 grams of protein per serving.

Banana and cashews add extra creaminess, transforming this into an orange creamsicle protein smoothie with a dreamy texture. The key to making the best tasting orange vanilla protein smoothie is to freeze the orange first.

If you blend it fresh, the smoothie turns out too liquidy. Freezing the orange creates a perfect, thick, chilled consistency, similar to flavored ice cubes packed with bright citrus flavor.

It does require some preparation work. Peel, segment, and halve your orange pieces before freezing them overnight. If you are planning this orange banana smoothie for breakfast, prep it the night before for quick blending in the morning.

Another tip for the best orange smoothie flavor is to add orange zest. This small step enhances the flavor, delivering the same vibrant taste you would expect from a healthy orange smoothie recipe, without added sugar or dairy.

Finally, keep the vanilla protein powder light. I only use half a scoop of Truvani’s vanilla plant protein powder, naturally sweetened with monk fruit. A full scoop can overpower the fresh fruit, making it too sweet. Combining half a scoop with unflavored collagen peptides and soy milk increases the protein content to 29 grams, while maintaining a balanced and refreshing flavor.

This orange julius protein smoothie is naturally sweetened from the monk fruit in the protein powder, the fresh orange, banana, and a splash of orange juice. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice cuts through the sweetness, brightens the flavors, and adds a refreshing zing. It is optional, but I find lemon takes this smoothie from good to irresistible.

Orange Protein Smoothie Recipe

• 1 medium orange (peeled, frozen in segments)
• ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
• ¼ cup orange juice 
• ½ scoop Truvani Plant Based Protein Vanilla
• 10 grams Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Unflavored
• 1 tablespoon raw cashews
• ½ medium banana (frozen)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 3 teaspoon orange zest

How to Make This Orange Protein Smoothie

1. Before peeling the orange, grate the zest and set it aside in a small container with a lid till you are ready to make the smoothie. Then peel, segment, and cut the segments in half before freezing overnight. You will also need to ensure you freeze a banana cut in half.
2. Add the frozen orange segments, zest, and remaining ingredients to a high speed blender.
3. Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.

Additions and Substitutions

Use half a raw banana that is just ripe (not overly ripe) for the best texture and natural sweetness. You can also use half a fresh banana, but be sure to reduce the soy milk by ¼ cup. The thickness will be a bit more liquid if you don't use frozen banana.

To increase the calorie content and healthy fats for an orange protein breakfast smoothie that keeps you satisfied, add 1–2 tablespoons of hemp seeds for more protein and healthy fats. You can also swap the collagen for hemp seeds to keep this recipe fully vegan.

Almond milk or other milks of your choice can be substituted for the soy milk; however, the texture may not be as creamy with almond milk. For the highest protein content and creamy texture, soy milk is the best choice.

If you prefer a sweeter smoothie that isn’t as refreshing, you can omit the lemon juice, however I love the refreshing twist of lemon.

To enhance the orange creamsicle vanilla smoothie flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract for added depth.

Boost your protein intake with this peach protein smoothie that tastes like dessert in a glass. Creamy soy milk with blended banana and frozen peaches is spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg for a cozy yet refreshing peaches and cream protein smoothie.

This site contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The addition of lemon juice cuts through the natural sweetness of the banana, peaches, and protein powder for a lighter and more refreshing flavor. 

I tested this peach smoothie recipe with both lemon and without. While both versions were delicious, I love it best with lemon, but if you don’t feel like taking the extra step to squeeze it, that’s fine as well.

This healthy peach protein smoothie gets its creaminess from frozen peaches, half a banana, and soy milk, with subtle vanilla flavor from protein powder and collagen. The combination of soy milk, vanilla protein powder, and collagen powder yields 31 grams of protein in one serving.

It’s energizing, hydrating, and filling making it perfect for a post-workout smoothie, a quick breakfast, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

I only used ½ a scoop of Truvani vanilla protein powder, which is naturally sweetened with monk fruit extract. This lightly sweetens the smoothie without overpowering the peach flavor.

Using just half a scoop allows the peaches, cinnamon, and nutmeg to shine through, instead of the protein powder dominating. I don’t know about you, but I hate it when protein smoothies are too sweet and mask the natural fruit flavors.

• 1.5 cups frozen peach slices
• ½ banana
