Peach Protein Smoothie | Creamy, Healthy & Dessert-Like

by Leave a Comment

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.

Creamy smoothie in a glass with a metal straw made with frozen peaches, banana, soy milk, and vanilla protein powder. Scattered frozen peaches and a black and white tea towel are beside the smoothie glass.

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.

Additions and Substitutions

Use half a raw banana that is just ripe, but not overly ripe, for the best balance of sweetness and texture. You can also use frozen banana, but you’ll want to add ¼ cup extra soy milk to help with blending.

For a peach breakfast smoothie that keeps you full for hours, add 1–2 tablespoons of hemp seeds for extra protein and healthy fats. You can also swap the collagen for hemp seeds to keep the recipe vegan.

For more of a peach pie smoothie flavor, adjust the spices to taste or add a splash of vanilla extract.

With 30 grams of protein from soy milk, vanilla protein powder, and collagen peptides, the mango smoothie with no banana is ideal as a post-workout smoothie, a quick breakfast, or a nourishing afternoon pick-me-up.

This high protein mango smoothie combines frozen mango with fresh lemon juice, unsweetened soy milk, and a hint of vanilla from the vegan protein powder, with the ultimate creamy and smooth texture that’s both refreshing and indulgent.

The mango gives it a naturally sweet, creamy base, while the lemon adds just enough tang to balance the richness. It’s made without banana or added sugar, and the combination of plant-based and collagen protein makes it extra smooth without any chalkiness.

I love how the subtle vanilla blends seamlessly with the tropical mango and lemon. It’s energizing and hydrating, and so yummy, making it one of my favorite high protein smoothies with mango.

Mango Protein Smoothie Recipe

How to Make This Mango Protein Smoothie

  • Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy right away!

Additions and Substitutions

  • Vegan option: Replace the collagen powder with 1–2 tablespoons of hemp seeds to keep this smoothie plant-based while still adding protein and healthy fats.
  • Pro tip: Adding too much plant-based protein powder can give smoothies a chalky or grainy texture, which is why I like to use a combo of collagen and plant-based protein for a smoother, more enjoyable result. Collagen powder blends seamlessly into smoothies without altering the taste or texture.
  • Optional turmeric: Adding ¼ teaspoon turmeric is totally optional, but it helps bring out the natural golden yellow color of the smoothie while adding a anti-inflammatory benefits.

Fun Fact: Mangoes are a great natural source of vitamin C, a vital nutrient that supports tissue repair and plays a key role in collagen production. When consumed alongside hydrolyzed collagen peptides, the vitamin C in mango may help stimulate the body’s own collagen synthesis.

Collagen powder is especially rich in the amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are critical for building and maintaining the structure of skin, joints, and other connective tissues. Studies show that hydrolyzed collagen (also called collagen peptides) can improve skin elasticity and hydration when taken consistently.

This mango protein smoothie is a great option for supporting joint and muscle recovery after a workout. With 30 grams of high-quality protein, it helps fuel your body with essential amino acids, along with a variety of vitamins and minerals from whole food ingredients. Whether you’re starting your day or recovering after a workout, this high protein smoothie delivers on both flavor and function.

Nourish your body with this mango protein smoothie recipe that has the perfect balance of fruity flavor and creamy texture, with just a hint of lemon to lift the tropical notes.

Spinach Protein Smoothie - 23g Protein & High In Vitamin K

by Leave a Comment

If you’re searching for a delicious way to boost your protein intake while sneaking in some greens, this spinach protein smoothie is the perfect match. Made with fresh baby spinach, creamy mango, and a naturally sweetened and subtle vanilla protein powder, this smoothie combines nutrition and flavour in every sip.

Whether you’re after a quick breakfast, a post-workout refuel, or just a healthy snack, this protein spinach smoothie will satisfy your taste buds and fuel your body.

What makes this smoothie stand out among other smoothie recipes with spinach is the balance of sweetness and creaminess without overwhelming “green” flavours. Using frozen mango and a touch of lemon juice adds natural brightness, while hemp seeds provide healthy fats and an extra creamy texture.

The plant-based Truvani Vanilla powder ensures you get a good protein boost without overpowering your smoothie as it is sweetened with organic monk fruit juice, which tastes much better than stevia-sweetened powders that often overpower the smoothie’s flavor. To enhance the vanilla notes even more, I add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Top-down view of spinach protein smoothie ingredients: spinach, frozen mango, protein powder, soy milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, hemp seeds.

Spinach Protein Smoothie Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1½ cups baby spinach, loosely packed
  • ½ scoop Truvani plant based protein powder - vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon hulled hemp seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¾  cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Add the spinach to the blender first to help it blend smoothly.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients on top.
  3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Pro Tip: I usually don’t add more than half a scoop of plant protein powder to my smoothies because anything more can make the texture grainy or overpower the natural smoothie flavor, and I’m all about the best taste and smoothest texture. To boost protein and healthy fats without compromising flavor, try adding an extra tablespoon of hemp seeds or half a scoop of collagen powder instead.

If you love protein-packed green smoothies, you’ll also enjoy my kale protein smoothie. It’s creamy, citrusy, and perfect for post-workout recovery.

Top 5 Vitamins and Minerals per Daily Value in the High Protein Spinach Smoothie

  • Vitamin K
  • Vitamin C
  • Folate
  • Iron
  • Copper

Fun Fact: This spinach protein smoothie recipe is high in vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), which is the form of vitamin K primarily found in leafy green vegetables like spinach. Spinach is one of the richest sources of vitamin K1, contributing to the very high vitamin K content in this smoothie.

A review of studies on vitamin K1 and bone health found that people eating more vitamin K1 have a lower risk of bone fractures! Vitamin K1 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bones, supporting bone mineralization and helping maintain strong, healthy bones. This means including spinach in your smoothie not only tastes great but may also support healthier, stronger bones!

This high protein green smoothie is a refreshing, naturally sweet green smoothie made with mango, spinach, and a bright pop of lemon. It is ultra creamy with soy milk and hemp seeds and lightly flavored with vanilla for the best tasting high protein spinach smoothie… at least in my books. 

The spinach protein smoothie is packed full of the essential amino acids, fats, and is high in many vitamins and minerals. It is exceptionally high in vitamin K1, which is beneficial for blood clotting and bone health. Truvani vanilla protein powder, hemp seeds, and soy milk combined all help to boost the protein content in this smoothie with a total of 23 grams.
