14 Mango Smoothies and Must Try Variations

by Leave a Comment

Making smoothies with frozen mango is one of my favorite ways to create a luscious, smooth texture. I use mango almost the way I use banana to make smoothies creamier, except mango has a much more subtle flavor that does not overpower everything else the way banana can.

Whenever I want a thicker, creamier smoothie, I add mango. It also happens to be one of my favorite fruits, but buying fresh mango in Canada when it is out of season costs a pretty penny. That is why I always keep a bag of frozen mango stocked in my freezer to make these frozen mango smoothie recipes.

Mango combines well with almost every fruit and even greens, which is why there are so many different mango smoothies you can make, depending on what you pair it with.

For a more classic mango smoothie flavor, my mango yogurt smoothie and mango banana smoothie are among my favorites, along with the tropical mango pineapple smoothie. If you are looking for something higher in protein, the mango protein smoothie and mango spinach protein smoothie are both great options.

I also love using mango in green smoothies because it naturally sweetens the blend while keeping the texture ultra smooth. It lets the other ingredients shine while still delivering the creamy consistency that makes smoothies so satisfying.

Whether you are looking for healthy mango smoothies, tropical combinations, or high protein fruit blends, these mango smoothie recipes offer plenty of mango smoothie ideas to keep things interesting.

Creamy, tropical, and perfectly balanced, this pineapple mango protein smoothie proves that mango is the key to transforming pineapple from thin and watery into something far more satisfying. Pineapple on its own can taste bright and refreshing but slightly light and slushy. Adding mango gives the smoothie body, natural creaminess, and a smoother mouthfeel without needing banana.

Blended with soy milk, coconut water, shredded coconut, and protein, the result is a high protein tropical smoothie that feels rich yet still hydrating. Mango enhances the texture, rounds out the sweetness, and keeps the pineapple flavor vibrant while preventing the blend from feeling thin.

Whether you are looking for classic mango flavored smoothies or high protein and green smoothies where both flavor and texture are enhanced by mango, these smoothies are for you. While I love the classic mango flavor that shines through in the mango protein smoothie and mango yogurt smoothie, I also enjoy the many fruit combinations that pair beautifully with mango.

If you struggle to make green smoothies taste good, try adding mango; I find it makes a world of difference in creating the best texture and flavor. Be sure to save the pin below so you have these mango smoothie ideas at hand whenever you need some inspiration to make yummy mango smoothie recipes.

Glass jars of mango pineapple smoothie with striped straws on a countertop with fresh mango slices and a whole pineapple in the background

This mango pineapple smoothie recipe is bright, juicy, and refreshing with a naturally sweet tropical flavor. Made with frozen mango, pineapple, coconut water, orange juice, and a splash of lime, it blends into a lightly slushy drink that feels cooling and energizing.

The combination of mango and pineapple creates a smooth, fruity base, while coconut water keeps the texture light and clean tasting. Orange juice adds gentle sweetness and citrus depth, and a small squeeze of lime lifts the flavors, making the smoothie taste vibrant and fresh.

A small pinch of salt enhances the fruit's natural sweetness and balances the citrus, making the smoothie taste brighter, smoother, and more refreshing without adding extra sugar.

This mango pineapple smoothie is easy to make and perfect for when you want something refreshing and fruity, with tropical flavors. The texture is smooth with a light yet creamy feel that will leave you craving more… so you may want the entire smoothie to yourself.

Mango Pineapple Smoothie Recipe

  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • ¾ cup coconut water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • pinch of salt

How To Make A Mango Pineapple Smoothie

  1. Add the coconut water and orange juice to a blender first.
  2. Add frozen mango and pineapple.
  3. Add lime juice and a small pinch of salt.
  4. Blend until smooth and slushy.
  5. Serve immediately while cold and refreshing.

Pro Tip: Use frozen fruit to achieve the most flavorful slushy texture. I used store-bought frozen fruit as that is most convenient, but for the best tasting mango pineapple smoothie, buy a fresh ripe pineapple and mango that is almost overripe, then freeze it before blending it into this smoothie. Ripe mango and pineapple will provide the best flavor and natural sweetness.

If you use prebought frozen fruit and get an unlucky batch of not-so-sweet mango and pineapple, you can sweeten the smoothie with a touch of maple syrup or liquid monk fruit extract to suit your taste. I found the natural sweetness of this smoothie to be perfect, especially since I don’t like adding unnecessary sugar.

Fun fact: In a research study, mice given fresh pineapple juice showed lower intestinal inflammation compared to mice given heat treated pineapple juice, suggesting the natural bromelain enzymes in fresh pineapple may play a role in its anti-inflammatory effects. Bromelain is known for its ability to break down proteins, which is why pineapple has long been associated with supporting digestion.

Carrot Cake Protein Smoothie | 29g Protein

by Leave a Comment

This carrot cake protein smoothie with 29 grams of protein is creamy and warmly spiced with pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon for cozy carrot cake dessert flavors. It has the perfect amount of tang from yogurt and lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the creamy carrot cake smoothie.

Creamy carrot cake protein smoothie in a tall clear glass with a metal straw and a whole carrot beside it

This healthy carrot cake smoothie is refined sugar free and naturally sweetened by the vanilla monk fruit sweetened Truvani protein powder, plus banana, spices, and naturally sweet carrots.

Only half a scoop of vanilla protein powder is needed to sweeten this smoothie. I purposely add ice to chill the smoothie and soften the sweetness from the protein powder for the best tasting carrot protein smoothie.

Collagen boosts the protein content and creaminess without adding additional sweetness or flavor. I love adding collagen in protein smoothies for this reason, since it lets the natural flavors shine while increasing protein.

The yogurt balances sweetness with a light tang that brightens the spices and gives the smoothie a flavor closer to carrot cake frosting rather than a flat, sweet carrot smoothie.

Ingredients laid out for a carrot cake protein smoothie including frozen carrots, banana, soy milk, yogurt, protein powder, collagen, lemon juice, spices, and ice

Carrot Cake Protein Smoothie Ingredients

  • ¾ cup raw carrots, chopped and frozen
  • ½ medium banana
  • ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • ½ scoop Truvani vanilla plant based protein
  • 10 grams Vital Proteins collagen peptides
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup ice

Instructions

  1. Pre chop the carrots and freeze until solid for the best thick creamy texture.
  2. Add soy milk to a high speed blender first.
  3. Add frozen carrots, banana, yogurt, protein powder, collagen, spices, lemon juice, and ice.
  4. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips and Substitutions

  • Frozen carrots create a thick creamy texture so do not skip freezing them.
  • Freeze the banana as well for an extra thick carrot cake protein shake if using a high powered blender.
  • Collagen can be omitted to make the smoothie vegetarian, though protein will be lower.
  • Any milk works but soy milk produces the creamiest carrot smoothie texture.
  • You can add hemp seeds for extra protein and healthy fats.
  • For a dairy free carrot cake smoothie, replace yogurt with a dairy free yogurt alternative.

If you prefer a naturally sweet fruitier version of a carrot smoothie, try my carrot banana smoothie which has a lighter flavor and no added protein powder.

Lemon Smoothie | Fresh, Zesty & Creamy

by Leave a Comment

This lemon smoothie is a refreshing blend of zesty and creamy, with a slightly slushy texture. If you are craving fresh lemon flavor, this lemon banana smoothie is for you!

A creamy smoothie in a clear glass topped with fresh lemon zest and a lemon slice, with a striped blue straw and sliced lemons beside and a pink tea towel beside it on a light background.

I was inspired to create this lemon smoothie while testing a lemon chia pudding recipe, where I discovered and loved the bright citrus taste and knew I had to turn those flavors into what is now one of my favorite lemon smoothie recipes.

I used unsweetened soy milk and frozen banana to create a creamy base, while fresh lemon juice and lemon zest deliver the best tasting lemon flavor. I only used half a banana, so the lemon would truly shine without the banana overpowering it.

It is key to use frozen banana along with half a cup of ice to give this vegan lemon smoothie a slightly thicker texture; otherwise, it will be way too thin. You could also freeze the lemon juice into cubes for an even thicker blend, but fresh lemon juice works as well.

The result is a smoothie that is bright, creamy, and gently sweet, with just enough icy chill to feel refreshing and revitalizing. It’s the perfect smoothie when you want something refreshing yet creamy for an afternoon refreshment, or anytime pick me up.

Anyone looking for lemon smoothie ideas is in for a treat with this healthy smoothie bursting with bright citrus flavor and creamy, lightly slushy texture. If you want to learn how to make a lemon smoothie that tastes fresh, balanced, and satisfying, this recipe is a great place to start.

Lemon Smoothie Recipe

  • ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • ½ medium banana frozen
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1½ tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 dash salt
  • ½ cup ice cubes

How to Make a Lemon Smoothie

  1. Wash the lemons thoroughly, then grate the outer yellow peel to make fresh lemon zest. Then cut and squeeze the lemon to get 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
  2. Add all ingredients to a high power blender.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon to preference.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips and Substitutions

  • Add more frozen banana for a thicker smoothie with more banana flavor.
  • This recipe is already dairy free with soy milk, but almond milk, cashew or oat milk also work if preferred.

Pro Tip: Freezing the banana before blending gives this lemon smoothie its creamy, thick base and a slightly frosty texture. Break the banana into pieces before freezing for easier blending. You can also freeze lemon juice into ice cubes if you want an even thicker texture while keeping the fresh citrus flavor.

Fun Fact

Fun fact: In a randomized human study, researchers found that drinking lemon juice with bread reduced the peak rise in blood sugar by about 30 percent and delayed that peak by over half an hour compared to water. The effect likely comes from the natural acidity of lemon, which slows down starch digestion by temporarily inhibiting digestive enzymes. 

This lemon smoothie is bright, creamy, and gently sweet with a refreshing citrus finish. It blends the best of zesty lemon with a smooth, satisfying base that still feels light and drinkable.

Whether you enjoy it as a light breakfast, a midday refresher, or a simple treat, this lemon banana smoothie delivers a clean and bold flavor with zesty and cleansing lemons in every sip. If you love fresh, vibrant citrus flavors, this smoothie will quickly become one of your favorite lemon smoothie recipes.

Carrot Banana Smoothie | Healthy, Creamy & Fresh

by Leave a Comment

This carrot banana smoothie is fresh, creamy, and lightly spiced with ginger for a bright, refreshing kick. Made with frozen carrots and a banana, this carrot smoothie blends thick and smooth without ice. Soy milk creates a creamy base, while orange juice adds natural sweetness that complements the carrot and banana without overpowering them.

A small amount of prep is required for this smoothie. For the best texture and flavor, chop and freeze the carrots and banana ahead of time. Using frozen fruit and vegetables instead of ice creates a thick, creamy smoothie without diluting the flavor. Ice tends to dilute the natural flavor, while frozen carrots and banana keep this one vibrant and naturally sweet.

This carrot banana smoothie with ginger has just enough warmth from fresh ginger to elevate the flavor without making it spicy. If you’ve ever found carrot smoothies a bit flat, the ginger makes a noticeable difference. This smoothie is also kid approved. My four year old loves it, and I often pack it in a reusable smoothie bottle for her morning snack at preschool.

If you are looking for a healthy carrot smoothie recipe that is easy to make, naturally sweet, and refreshing, this one is a great option. It is simple, nourishing, and a delicious way to enjoy carrots in smoothie form.

Carrot Banana Smoothie Ingredients

  • ¾ cup chopped carrots, frozen
  • 1 medium banana, frozen
  • ½ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root

How to Make the Carrot Banana Smoothie

  1. Chop the carrots and banana and freeze them ahead of time until fully frozen.
  2. Add the frozen carrots to the blender first to help them blend smoothly.
  3. Add the frozen banana, soy milk, orange juice, and fresh ginger.
  4. Blend until thick, smooth, and creamy.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips and Substitutions

Ginger adds brightness and depth, but if you prefer a milder smoothie or are making it for kids who do not enjoy ginger, it can be omitted. 

Soy milk yields the creamiest texture, but almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk can also be used.

For cozy fall and winter flavors, add a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can use a fresh banana instead of a frozen one. 

For the best smoothie texture, I recommend using at least one frozen ingredient, either the banana or the carrots.

Half a banana is added for additional creaminess, but does not overpower the smoothie with banana flavor and instead lets the other flavors shine through. If you're looking for a way to enjoy beets without the overpowering taste of beet or banana, this beet and strawberry smoothie is for you!

It’s a delicious, antioxidant-rich smoothie that helps hydrate the body thanks to electrolytes found in coconut water. This beet and strawberry smoothie is refreshing, cleansing, and perfect for a hot day.

Despite containing beets, this beet smoothie doesn’t have a strong earthy flavor. The natural sweetness of strawberries, mango, and banana gently balances the beets, while lemon juice adds a bright, refreshing lift. The result is a vibrant pink smoothie packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients from both beets and strawberries.

The first time my little girl tried this smoothie, she didn’t enjoy it because she knew it had beets in it. Months later, when I made it again and simply mentioned the strawberries and mango, she happily drank it and asked for more. It’s a great reminder that how we think about ingredients can change how we experience them.

Apple Protein Smoothie With Pumpkin Pie Spice

by Leave a Comment

This apple protein smoothie is creamy with a lightly slushy, icy texture and cozy apple pie flavor from warming pumpkin pie spice. It is perfect when you are craving an apple smoothie that feels refreshing yet indulgent, with more of a dessert like finish than a typical fruit smoothie. If you love apple pie flavors but want something nourishing and protein rich, this apple protein smoothie truly feels like a treat in a glass.

What makes this smoothie especially satisfying is the balance between creaminess and freshness. The combination of soy milk and vanilla protein powder creates a rich, smooth base, while fresh apple and ice give it a light, refreshing feel. Spiced with pumpkin pie spice and finished with a touch of lemon juice, this healthy apple pie protein smoothie delivers cozy flavor without feeling heavy.

My favorite apple for this recipe is a Pink Lady, but any apple you enjoy will work. I tested this apple protein smoothie recipe with a green apple and found it to be too tart, especially when combined with lemon juice. Pink Lady apples have a natural sweetness and crispness that pair beautifully with warm spices and a hint of acidity.

If you decide to use a green apple, I recommend skipping the lemon juice entirely, as green apples are tart enough on their own. For the best apple pie smoothie flavor that still tastes balanced and creamy, a red apple variety works best.

I made this apple smoothie without banana, as it does not need one. The creaminess comes from high protein soy milk and the Truvani vanilla protein powder, which also adds gentle sweetness. If you are looking for apple smoothie ideas that are banana free but still thick and satisfying, this apple smoothie with protein powder is a great option.

Apple Protein Smoothie Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple with skin chopped and frozen
  • 1 ¼ cups unsweetened soy milk
  • ½ scoop Truvani plant based vanilla protein
  • 10 g Vital Proteins collagen peptides
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup ice

Instructions

  1. Preprep the frozen apple the day before by placing chopped apple with the skin into a freezer bag and freeze until solid.
  2. Add all ingredients to a Vitamix blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Tips and Substitutions


Pro Tip: For the thickest, creamiest apple protein smoothie texture, chop the apple into small pieces and freeze it before blending. Frozen apple replaces the need for extra ice, creates a smoother blend, and gives this apple smoothie a more indulgent, lightly slushy texture without watering down the flavor

Soy milk can be swapped for any milk of your choice, but soy milk creates the creamiest texture compared to most plant based milks.

Collagen peptides add extra protein and support texture, but they can be omitted to make this a fully vegan apple protein smoothie.

Hemp seeds are a great optional addition for extra protein and healthy fats, with a subtle nutty flavor that pairs well with apple and spice.

Almond butter is another excellent addition if you want to make this apple protein shake more filling and satisfying.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie | Creamy, Vegan & Healthy

Refresh and nourish your body with this ultra creamy strawberry banana smoothie. This vegan strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt is perfect if you want a dairy-free smoothie that feels creamy and satisfying with the classic strawberry banana flavor combo.

This strawberry banana smoothie recipe combines frozen strawberries, perfectly ripe banana, and unsweetened soy milk for a creamy base that’s bursting with antioxidants and vitamin C to support your immune system and overall health.

A splash of fresh lemon juice adds the perfect amount of brightness and zing, while a hint of water-extracted vanilla powder brings subtle warmth and complexity. I love the gentle flavor of this vanilla powder, but you can also use a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you prefer.

To enhance the natural sweetness, I added 5 drops of Sweet Monk, a liquid monk fruit sweetener that is zero calorie and ideal for smoothies. It gives just a touch of extra sweetness without overpowering the fresh strawberry and banana flavors and is one of the best tasting non nutritive sweeteners for supporting healthy blood sugar levels.

Soy milk blends beautifully with banana to create a rich, smooth texture that feels indulgent without any added cream or nut butters. Combined with the tartness of lemon and the natural sweetness of strawberries, this smoothie is a perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and naturally sweet.

This healthy strawberry banana smoothie is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and 9 grams of plant-based protein, making it a nourishing choice to support digestion, hydration, and overall wellness. Plus, it’s 100% vegan and dairy-free, so it fits perfectly into plant-based lifestyles.

Try this strawberry and banana smoothie as a light summer breakfast, post-hike snack, or refreshing treat on hot afternoons. If your looking for a delicious and healthy strawberry banana smoothie recipe, this one checks all the boxes!

Flat lay of strawberry banana smoothie ingredients on a wooden board, including frozen strawberries, a banana, soy milk, lemon juice, vanilla powder, and liquid monk fruit sweetener, with text labeling each ingredient.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

  • 1½ cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium banana
  • ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon water-extracted vanilla powder (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
  • 5 drops Sweet Monk liquid monk fruit sweetener (or to taste)

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.

Tips & Substitutions

Soy milk is used here for its creamy texture and protein content, but almond, oat, or cashew milk are excellent substitutes that still create a smooth and creamy smoothie.

I prefer using perfectly ripe bananas because I find overripe bananas can sometimes overpower the flavor with too much sweetness and a stronger banana taste. That said, the riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be,so feel free to adjust based on your flavor preference!

The 5 drops of Sweet Monk liquid monk fruit sweetener in this recipe is roughly equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add more Sweet Monk to taste. Keep in mind that the natural sweetness of your strawberries will also affect the overall sweetness of your smoothie.

I used a water extracted vanilla powder for a super smooth vanilla flavor, but you can also use vanilla extract as well.

This creamy and fruity huckleberry smoothie blends wild huckleberries with mango, banana, fresh orange juice, and soy milk for a bright, lightly sweet flavor that balances tart berries with citrus and creaminess.

Wild huckleberries bring a deep berry flavor similar to blueberries but slightly more tart, while mango and banana soften the acidity and create a smooth, creamy texture. The orange juice lifts the flavor and enhances the natural sweetness without making the huckleberry smoothie feel too heavy.

This huckleberry smoothie is precious to my heart and brings back memorable moments of picking huckleberries in the hills with my family as a kid. To this day, I carry on this tradition and have been picking huckleberries with my little girl since moving to Nelson, BC, only hours from my hometown.

Being in nature, picking huckleberries, feels soothing to the soul and nervous system, and deeply satisfying, especially when you find a good patch. Huckleberries are similar to blueberries but with a more tart, bold flavor, and they are packed with antioxidants just like wild blueberries.

Green Hemp Protein Smoothie | Vegan & 25g Protein

by Leave a Comment

This hemp protein smoothie is creamy, refreshing, and naturally sweet with subtle notes of orange and ginger. The combination of frozen mango, fresh orange juice, banana, and dates balances the earthy taste of hemp protein powder while hulled hemp seeds add richness and a silky smooth texture. Soy milk creates a creamy base that blends everything together without overpowering the fresh fruit flavors in the green protein smoothie.

A creamy green smoothie in a glass on a gray surface with a tea towel and red protein powder bag in the background.

This green protein smoothie is made with both hemp protein powder and hulled hemp seeds for the best taste and texture. I originally tried using four tablespoons of hemp protein powder alone, but found it created a strong earthy bitterness.

Using two tablespoons of hemp protein powder along with two tablespoons of hemp seeds delivered a balanced flavor while still providing a full 25 grams of plant based protein. It blends smoothly and has enough natural sweetness to disguise the strong hemp taste while still letting the citrus and ginger shine.

With 25 grams of protein, 16 grams of healthy fats, and 489 calories, this hemp protein smoothie is a nourishing breakfast smoothie that keeps you full and energized. The blend of leafy greens, healthy fats, and plant protein makes it a great option for stable morning energy, workout recovery, or a nutrient rich afternoon boost.

Boost your antioxidant intake with this refreshing and anti inflammatory blueberry yogurt smoothie. This easy blueberry chia seed smoothie has five ingredients and comes together in less than five minutes. Plus, it is kid friendly and approved by my little girl.

A vibrant purple smoothie served in a clear glass with a purple striped straw on a light grey surface.

The blueberry yogurt smoothie recipe combines frozen blueberries, plain yogurt, chia seeds, orange juice, and dates for a delicious, satisfying smoothie. Orange juice and yogurt add the perfect tang and refreshing flavors to complement the antioxidant rich blueberries, which are among the best fruits for an anti-inflammation diet.

Blueberries are among the top antioxidant-rich fruits and contain powerful anthocyanins that have many health benefits, including improving liver health and insulin sensitivity, and even enhancing fat burning. This anti inflammation blueberry yogurt smoothie ticks all the boxes when it comes to making a great tasting, gut friendly, and healthy smoothie.

I added chia seeds as they are a great source of healthy fats, including the essential omega-3 fats, plus they are high in fiber and protein to help provide satiety and longer lasting energy levels. This blueberry smoothie with chia seeds is a great way to naturally support optimal liver health while leaving you feeling light yet satisfied.

The vibrant, antioxidant rich blueberry yogurt smoothie blends just four simple ingredients into a creamy, tangy, and gut friendly smoothie. Packed with fiber, plant protein, and essential nutrients, it is perfect for busy mornings or a quick, healthy afternoon snack.

For more healthy fats and a slightly thicker texture, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.

Pineapple Protein Smoothie | Creamy Tropical Flavor

by Leave a Comment

This tropical pineapple protein smoothie is creamy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with light tropical sweetness. It’s the kind of smoothie that instantly takes your mind to tropical sandy beaches.

The pineapple mango protein smoothie has a creamy yet light, slushy texture with tropical coconut undertones. The pineapple adds gentle sweetness while the mango gives it a smooth, creamy body. The result is a balanced blend of fruity, coconutty, and citrusy flavors that feel both energizing and satisfying.

The shredded coconut is key for creating that tropical, creamy undertone that only coconut can provide. It gives the smoothie a subtle richness and the perfect hint of coconut flavor without overpowering the fruit.

Adding ice helps balance the sweetness of both the pineapple and the vanilla protein powder, creating an icy slushy texture when blended with frozen fruit. The combination of soy milk and coconut water keeps it creamy yet light, making it ideal for a morning refresh or a tropical protein boost after a workout with hydrating coconut water.

I tested several pineapple protein smoothie recipes while developing this perfected pineapple protein smoothie, and this one is easily my favorite. I love the combination of mango and pineapple best in this smoothie, as mango keeps the tropical vibe and flavors but adds a creamy base without using banana.

When I used only pineapple, it had a thin texture and a sweet, light apple-like flavor that didn’t feel as satisfying. Adding mango gave the smoothie more body and a naturally creamy consistency that blends beautifully with the distinct flavor and sweetness of pineapple.

A top view of smoothie ingredients including frozen pineapple, frozen mango, soy milk, lime, shredded coconut, collagen powder, vanilla protein powder, ice, and coconut water arranged on a wooden counter.

Pineapple Mango Protein Smoothie Ingredients

Tips and Substitutions:

You can swap the soy milk for coconut milk if you prefer a creamier, more tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with the shredded coconut. Just note that coconut milk is not high in protein, so your smoothie won’t be as protein-rich. Using soy milk helps make this pineapple and mango smoothie higher in protein, since ¾ cup of soy milk provides about 7 grams of protein.

You can also use lemon juice instead of lime juice. Lemon gives a softer, sweeter citrus note that still brightens the smoothie but feels less zesty and tropical. Lime adds a sharper citrus edge that enhances the pineapple and mango flavors, while lemon creates a smoother, mellow balance that lets the coconut flavor stand out more.

Fun Fact: In an animal study, rats fed a high cholesterol diet showed improved liver health and better blood vessel function after eating pineapple fruit. The study found that pineapple helped reduce fatty liver and support healthier blood vessels by improving how their bodies processed cholesterol.

This mango pineapple protein smoothie provides plant protein, collagen, natural electrolytes from coconut water, and vitamin C from mango and pineapple. It’s nourishing yet light, supporting recovery and hydration while offering a delicious tropical flavor you’ll crave again and again.

Cherry Banana Smoothie with Lemon | Antioxidant Rich

by Leave a Comment

Boost your antioxidant and fiber intake with this creamy, naturally sweet cherry banana smoothie with a hint of lemon. This easy 5-ingredient cherry smoothie is ready in under 5 minutes and is a refreshing, satisfying option for a quick breakfast or healthy snack. It’s also hydrating and contains the electrolytes potassium and magnesium required for optimal hydration.

This cherry smoothie, featuring banana, lemon, hemp seeds, and soy milk, is rich in flavor and nutrient-dense. Frozen cherries and banana make it sweet and creamy, while freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a vibrant burst of freshness and zing that perfectly balances the sweetness.

Cherries are an excellent source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, especially anthocyanins, which have been shown to reduce oxidative stress. The cherry smoothie is paired with soy milk and hemp seeds for creaminess, along with banana for natural sweetness, while the lemon adds a refreshing twist, making it the best tasting cherry banana smoothie.

To make smoothies creamy and higher in plant protein, I love the combination of soy milk blended with hemp seeds, which adds a nutritional boost and a source of the essential omega-3 and 6 fats. If you prefer, you can use any other plant-based milk, but I find that soy milk provides the best balance of protein and creaminess in this banana cherry smoothie.

Hemp seeds provide the essential omega-3 and 6 fats in the optimal ratio and also contain the essential amino acids. The protein and healthy fats  help to keep you full longer and are one of my go-to smoothie ingredients for supporting inflammation and stable energy levels.

Combined with lemon, which lifts the cherry flavor and brings a subtle brightness, this banana and cherry smoothie feels both indulgent and refreshing at the same time.

The cherry banana smoothie with lemon blends five simple ingredients into a creamy, sweet, and citrusy smoothie that’s perfect for busy mornings or a light afternoon pick-me-up. With antioxidants, plant protein, and healthy fats, it’s a nourishing choice you’ll want to make again and again.

A top down view of the ingredients for a cherry banana smoothie, including a bowl of frozen cherries, a ripe banana, lemon juice, soy milk, and a spoonful of hemp seeds arranged on a light wood surface.

Cherry Banana Smoothie with Lemon

  • 1½ cups frozen cherries
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • ½ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed – try up to 4 tablespoon for more zing!)

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips and Substitutions:

Add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice for more zing and brightness in the cherry lemon smoothie.

Use a ripe banana, but avoid one that is overly ripe, as it can make the smoothie too sweet and impart a strong, ripe banana flavor. I am sure you know your preferred level of ripeness.

For a thicker and slightly icier texture, add one third cup of ice. The ice also helps mellow the sweetness from the cherries and banana.

  • Manganese

Fun Fact: Cherries are naturally rich in anthocyanins, which give them their vibrant color and also provide antioxidant support for liver health while helping reduce inflammation. Even though cherries contain natural fructose, research suggests they may actually protect the liver rather than harm it.

Several animal studies have shown that cherries and cherry anthocyanins can help reduce fat buildup in the liver, support healthy blood sugar and insulin levels, and lower oxidative stress, even when consumed alongside a high fat diet. You can read more about the benefits of cherries for liver health in this post.

If you're looking for a naturally sweet and refreshing smoothie that feels nourishing and packed with antioxidants to support overall wellness, this cherry banana smoothie with lemon is a great option. It is creamy, zesty, kid approved, and made with ingredients your body will feel good about.

I don’t often treat my little girls to processed treats, so instead I love creating healthy antioxidant smoothies for her that are both nourishing and delicious. This cherry vanilla yogurt smoothie passed the test, as my little girl enjoyed it as much as I did. I can’t say that she loves all my smoothies, but using antioxidant rich fruits such as cherries to make frozen fruit smoothies is almost always a hit.

The cherry banana smoothie with coconut water is perfect if you are feeling dehydrated, and thus is great to enjoy on a hot day or in the morning when we wake up and need an extra boost of hydrating electrolytes.

Coconut water is an excellent source of natural electrolytes for optimal hydration, making this smoothie extra refreshing, especially during warmer months or after a workout. Plus, coconut water adds the perfect natural sweetness to complement the cherries and banana.

The tanginess of yogurt complements the cherries perfectly, especially when blended with ½ a banana for extra creaminess. Making your own homemade soy yogurt is a great way to make gut healthy smoothies with beneficial probiotics.

Plus, plain yogurt adds a boost of protein and makes the smoothie more satiating. I added a splash of vanilla extract to really bring out the cherries' flavor and round everything out.

This cherry coconut water smoothie is packed with fiber, antioxidants, potassium, vitamin C, manganese and B6. The antioxidant rich cherries are amazing liver cleansing fruits that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Cherry Yogurt Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups frozen cherries
  • ½ cup plain yogurt (I used 2%)

  • ½ banana
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!

Tips and Substitutions:

Soy yogurt or a dairy free yogurt of your choice can be used instead. I often like to make my own homemade soy yogurt with gut friendly probiotics, which I have used in this recipe, and it is just as good with a creamier texture. I have a mild dairy intolerance, so I often use homemade soy milk instead of regular yogurt.

For more vanilla flavor, you can use vanilla yogurt instead of plain yogurt. If the vanilla yogurt is sweetened, just note that the smoothie will turn out sweeter. You can also use Greek yogurt for a thicker and creamier texture.

For an extra boost of protein, add a scoop of collagen powder, which will not change the taste or texture of the smoothie .

Ingredients for a blackberry protein smoothie laid out on a wooden surface, including frozen blackberries, mango, soy milk, orange juice, lemon juice, chia seeds, protein powder, collagen, and basil leaves.

Blackberry Protein Smoothie Recipe

½ cup frozen mango
¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
¼ cup fresh orange juice
1½ tablespoons lemon juice

I love both versions equally, but if it were summer and I had fresh basil in my garden, I’d definitely be adding it! Totally optional, but worth trying when you’re craving something unique and just as tasty.

Mango Yogurt Smoothie | Healthy, Creamy & High Protein

by Leave a Comment

This healthy mango smoothie with yogurt has a naturally sweet tropical flavor from frozen mango and a touch of vanilla, creating a silky smooth texture without needing a banana. The combination of mango, yogurt, and soy milk yields a luscious, dessert like creaminess that feels indulgent yet nourishing.

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

A thick and creamy yellow smoothie served in a clear glass with a yellow-striped straw on a wooden surface, next to a white textured cloth.

Thanks to the natural sweetness of mango and a few drops of French vanilla monk fruit sweetener, this smoothie is perfectly sweet without any refined sugar. The vanilla enhances the tropical notes while plain yogurt adds gentle tang and velvety body.

To increase protein and amino acids that support gut, joint, and skin health, this recipe includes Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, making it a balanced high protein mango smoothie that is as creamy as it is nutritious.

I often like to use a plant based yogurt instead of regular yogurt as I have a slight sensitivity to dairy and notice increased nasal congestion when I have too much. However, I love the creaminess and tang that yogurt yields in smoothies, so I still use it sometimes, plus my little girl likes regular yogurt better.

You could also use a sweetened vanilla yogurt instead, and you likely will not need to add any of the liquid monk fruit sweetener. I have tested this recipe with plain yogurt as well as dairy free options like almond and soy, and all have tasted great.

Bowls of frozen mango, plain yogurt, soy milk, collagen powder, vanilla extract, and a bottle of French vanilla monk fruit sweetener arranged on a wooden surface.

Mango Yogurt Smoothie Recipe

1½ cups frozen mango
¾ cup plain yogurt (I used 2%)
½ cup unsweetened soy milk
10 grams Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
10 drops French Vanilla Sweet Monk liquid sweetener

How to Make the Mango Smoothie with Yogurt

  1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth, thick, and creamy.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips and Substitutions

Substitute the plain yogurt with plain soy yogurt or another plant based yogurt for a dairy free option.

I love adding a dash of cinnamon to this smoothie for more dessert like vibes. 

5 drops of the monk fruit sweetener is equal to the taste of 1 teaspoon of sugar. For another natural alternative you could sweeten the smoothie with 2 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey.

Fun Fact: A randomized controlled trial found that eating fresh mango daily for 12 weeks supported a healthier gut microbiome compared to eating low fat cookies. Participants who ate mango had a more diverse mix of gut bacteria often linked to better digestion and overall wellness.

When blended with yogurt, mango’s natural polyphenols and fibers pair with probiotics to create a gut friendly combination that is as creamy as it is gut nourishing. I often make my own homemade yogurt so that I can enhance the colonization of specific probiotic strains such as L. Reuteri. 

Anyone looking for a banana free mango protein smoothie will love this ultra creamy mango and yogurt smoothie with collagen and vanilla. It is thick, smooth, and perfectly sweet, made without refined sugar, and comes together in under five minutes for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack.

18 High Protein Smoothies with 20 Grams Plus of Protein

by Leave a Comment

These high protein smoothies are delicious, satisfying, and packed with 20 grams or more of protein per serving. Each one is designed to nourish your body and keep you feeling full and energized, whether you enjoy it as a breakfast smoothie or after a workout.

This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I use and love.

Collage of four high protein smoothies including banana, blueberry, mango spinach, and beet 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.

If you prefer a sweeter dessert style smoothie, you can skip the lemon, but for a refreshing twist, keep it in. Cinnamon and nutmeg add warmth and depth, blending seamlessly with the subtle vanilla undertones from the protein powder for a cozy spiced flavor that feels perfect in fall.

The result is a smoothie that is mostly creamy with just a hint of icy slushy texture from the ice. It is nourishing, flavorful, and comforting, everything you want in a healthy banana smoothie that still feels like a treat.

Overhead view of banana protein smoothie ingredients labeled on a wooden counter, including frozen banana, soy milk, vanilla protein powder, collagen peptides, hemp seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and ice.

Banana Protein Smoothie Recipe

  • 1 ½ medium bananas frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 10 grams Vital Proteins collagen peptides
  • 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.

A vibrant green apple spinach smoothie in a clear glass with a green and white striped straw, sitting on a wooden surface beside a pink towel and a fresh green apple in the background.

The spinach and apple smoothie is an easy and tasty way to add more greens to your day and support your liver. It is also a great way to start your morning when you want something light and nutritious.

I personally love having this cleansing green smoothie if I have had heavier meals the day before as it gives you a light energy boost with its mix of fruits and greens. Spinach and apple bring a crisp, fresh taste, while mango adds a touch of sweetness and a creamy texture.

When I first tried this recipe, I used a banana, but its flavor was a bit too strong. Using mango and dates instead gives just the right amount of natural sweetness and lets the spinach and apple flavors stand out.

Spinach is a powerhouse green that is naturally rich in chlorophyll, vitamin K, and antioxidants that help protect the liver and support detoxification. Apple and spinach blend beautifully to provide soluble fiber and beneficial plant compounds that nourish the body and gut.

Sipping on this spinach smoothie with apple is the perfect way to start your day. It’s bright, refreshing, and makes you feel naturally energized and nourished.

Ingredients for a spinach apple smoothie displayed on a light countertop, including fresh spinach leaves, a green apple, frozen mango chunks, soy milk, dates, and ice, labeled with text.

Spinach Apple Smoothie Recipe:

  • 1 medium Golden Delicious apple, with skin
  • ½ cup frozen mango
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 dried dates
  • ½ cup ice
  • 2 cups spinach, raw

Instructions:

  1. Chop 1 Golden Delicious apple into small chunks.
  2. Add the ingredients to the blender in the following order: almond milk, spinach, chopped apple, frozen mango, dates, and then ice.
  3. Start blending on low speed. Use a tamper to push the ingredients toward the blades as needed.
  4. Pause if spinach sticks to the sides. Open the lid and push the leaves down, then continue.
  5. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the ice is fully crushed and the spinach smoothie is smooth.

Tips and Substitutions

If you prefer a lighter smoothie, swap almond milk for coconut water for extra hydration and a cleaner, fresher taste. For a creamier, higher protein option, soy milk makes a great substitute. You can also add a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavor or a quarter to half a banana for extra creaminess and sweetness.

Pro Tip: Mango is key to achieving the perfect texture. When I first tried this with just apples, it was a bit pulpy. However, adding mango made it creamy and smooth, without needing yogurt or banana.

After testing it with several apple varieties, I found Golden Delicious to be the winner. Granny Smith was too tart, while Pink Lady was a bit too sweet. In contrast, Golden Delicious had the perfect balance of sweetness and tang, giving the smoothie its beautiful, vibrant green color that looks as good as it tastes.

Glass mug of creamy mango ginger smoothie with a striped straw, ginger root in the background, a green plant, and a pink tea towel on the side.

This mango smoothie ginger recipe is made with frozen mango, a splash of lemon juice, fresh ginger root, creamy soy milk, and half a banana. The result is a vibrant, immune-supporting vegan mango smoothie that’s loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, and gut-friendly ingredients.

I originally tested this smoothie with almond milk and no banana, and it wasn’t that satisfying. It lacked creaminess and felt a little thin. But once I swapped in unsweetened soy milk and added just ½ a banana, the texture completely transformed.

The soy milk adds a boost of plant-based protein, while the banana adds the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess to balance out the spice of the ginger. Ginger brings a bright, slightly spicy kick and lemon adds refreshing citrus zest.

I’ve made many vegan ginger smoothies in the past, but this one hit the mark and is the only one my daughter likes. Every time I’ve made smoothies with ginger before, she’s said they were too spicy. But for the first time ever, she took a sip of this healthy mango smoothie and said, “Mmm, I like it!”

This smoothie is perfect any time of year. I love adding ginger to my smoothies in winter as it is a warming spice with immune supporting properties. I often make this mango smoothie with ginger in the winter months to help boost my immune system, as colds and coughs were constantly circulating around my daughter's preschool.

Beet Protein Smoothie | 27g Protein, Creamy & Liver Healthy

by Leave a Comment

Fuel your body with this vibrant and refreshing beet protein smoothie, a perfectly sweet, creamy, and nutrient packed blend that supports liver detox and muscle recovery post workouts. Made with just a few simple ingredients, this high protein smoothie has a rich pink hue, a creamy texture, and a citrusy brightness that balances out the earthiness of beets perfectly.

Bright pink smoothie in a clear glass on a wooden surface, with a small bowl of frozen mango chunks and a sliced raw beet in the background.

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.

Mango Spinach Protein Smoothie | Vegan, Creamy & Healthy

by Leave a Comment

Fuel your day with this ultra creamy mango spinach protein smoothie. A high protein green smoothie that’s just as satisfying as it is nourishing. With subtle hints of vanilla, this smoothie blend is made with wholesome ingredients and comes together in minutes. It's an easy go-to smoothie for busy mornings, post-workout recovery, or an after-school snack your kids will actually enjoy.

Glass mug filled with a creamy green smoothie with a pink striped straw, served on a wooden board with fresh spinach and frozen mango on the side.

This mango spinach smoothie, without banana, is still creamy and naturally sweet, thanks to the frozen mango. When soy milk is blended with mango and spinach, it creates a rich and creamy base with the smoothest texture.

If you’ve been looking for a spinach and mango smoothie recipe that’s both vegan and high in plant protein, this green smoothie is for you! Packed with 24 grams of protein from soy milk and pumpkin seed protein powder, this mango protein smoothie delivers lasting energy, muscle recovery support, and satiety without feeling heavy.

It's the perfect high protein green smoothie to fuel you after a workout. Lately, I have been hiking the Pulpit in Nelson, B.C, a fairly intense 30-minute uphill hike in the hopes of building some leg muscle alongside some resistance training to help maintain and build some muscle mass.

I wanted to create some high protein vegan smoothies, so I bought some unflavored pumpkin seed protein powder by Omega Nutrition as an alternative to pea protein powder, and I must say I have been pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture as it tastes great in smoothies.

It has a green colour, thus I find it to be the perfect plant based protein powder to use in green smoothies, especially if you want to maintain the flavors of the smoothie ingredients without the overpowering taste of sweetened protein powders.

I love that this smoothie is not overly sweet or intense, just subtly sweet with a creamy texture and a gentle hint of vanilla. The spinach blends in seamlessly, giving it a vibrant green color while adding a boost of vitamin K, folate and iron.

If you're looking for a mango spinach protein smoothie to refuel after a workout, this one fits the bill. My 4 year old daughter, who can be a picky eater, even enjoyed this smoothie and I find it to be a great smoothie to get greens into her diet.

If you want more ways to use mango in smoothies, including high protein blends and green smoothies, explore my full collection of frozen mango smoothie recipes or try one of my other high protein smoothie recipes next.

Flat lay of mango spinach protein smoothie ingredients including frozen mango, fresh spinach, soy milk, pumpkin seed protein powder, vanilla extract, monk fruit sweetener, and ice, arranged on a light background with text labels.

Mango Spinach Protein Smoothie

  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 3 tablespoon pumpkin seed protein powder (Omega Nutrition)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 drops liquid monk fruit sweetener (Sweet Monk, French Vanilla)
  • ¼ cup ice

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Optional Add-Ins

While I love the subtle flavors of the smoothie as is, I also like to add the following ingredients for a simple variation:

I used liquid monk fruit sweetener by Sweet Monk to naturally sweeten this smoothie. It’s a sugar-free, zero-calorie alternative that tastes great without the overly sweet aftertaste stevia sometimes has. Just 5 drops equals about the same sweetness as 1 teaspoon of sugar. If you’d rather use a natural sweetener, maple syrup works well toom, start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste.

I like to add a teaspoon of liposomal vitamin C with phosphatidylcholine for additional liver detox support. Phosphatidylcholine supports phase 3 liver detox and the liposomal vitamin C adds a citrusy tang that blends perfectly into this high protein green smoothie.

A 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor and supports digestion. You won’t notice the hints of vanilla as much if you add lemon, but I do love the freshness of it.

Try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger for added warmth, flavor, and zest. A little bit of ginger adds all the spice you need to this high protein green smoothie!

Fun Fact: Spinach is one of the top vegetable sources of vitamin K, which is a key nutrient for bone strength. Research indicates that vitamin K may help reduce the risk of fractures, even without increasing bone density.

One study found that postmenopausal women who took vitamin K1 daily had over 50% fewer fractures, and another showed that vitamin K2 could reduce hip fractures by up to 77%. This benefit is thought to come from vitamin K’s ability to improve bone quality rather than just bone density.

If you're looking for a high protein mango spinach smoothie without banana that delivers on both flavor and nutrition, this will be your new go-to green smoothie. It’s creamy, subtle, nutrient-rich, and kid-approved, making it a versatile green smoothie for everything from pre-workout fuel to a quick and healthy snack. Additionally, it’s 100% vegan and rich in plant protein to support your energy, recovery, and overall health.

Orange Protein Smoothie (29g Protein!)| Creamy & Healthy

by Leave a Comment

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.

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

orange protein smoothie in a tall glass with a creamy thick texture, garnished with a fresh orange slice on the rim, with sliced oranges and a plant in the background.

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.
Tall glass of and orange smoothie with a thick creamy texture, garnished with a fresh orange slice on the rim, text overlay highlighting 29g protein and tagline creamy refreshing and healthy

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.

Fun Fact: A 2024 clinical study found that eating whole oranges every day can help reduce fat buildup in the liver, even without weight loss. Participants were randomly assigned to eat 400 grams of whole oranges daily or 400 grams of non citrus fruits daily for 4 weeks. The orange group showed a 30% drop in liver fat compared to the control group.

This healthy orange smoothie recipe is creamy, refreshing, and naturally sweet, making it a nourishing twist on an orange Julius smoothie. With 29 grams of protein, this orange vanilla protein smoothie is a healthy and satiating option for a perfect post workout smoothie or quick breakfast.

Cherry Protein Smoothie | 30g Protein & Antioxidant Rich

by Leave a Comment

This bright and creamy cherry protein smoothie is the perfect blend of sweet-tart flavor and satisfying nutrition. With over 30 grams of protein from soy milk, plant-based protein powder, and collagen peptides, this high protein cherry smoothie is ideal as a post-workout smoothie or nourishing breakfast smoothie.

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

Pink cherry smoothie served in a mason jar with a metal straw, placed on a dark surface with a bowl of frozen cherries and a textured cloth nearby.

This  cherry protein smoothie combines frozen sweet cherries with a touch of mango, fresh lemon juice, chia seeds, and unsweetened soy milk for the ultimate creamy and smooth texture that’s both refreshing and indulgent.

The cherries are naturally sweet, and the lemon juice adds just the right brightness to enhance the cherry flavor without making the smoothie taste too sweet. The mango adds creaminess without overpowering the cherry, allowing the natural cherry flavor to shine through.

It took me a while to perfect this recipe, but I’m so glad I finally found a winner that tastes delicious. My little girl even loved this smoothie and asked  me to make it every day! It’s satisfying, packed with antioxidants, and has quickly become one of my favorite healthy cherry smoothies.

Flat lay of cherry protein smoothie ingredients on a wooden surface, including soy milk, frozen cherries, frozen mango, banana, lemon, chia seeds, collagen powder, and vanilla protein powder, each labeled in black text.

Cherry Protein Smoothie Recipe:

  • 1 ½ cups frozen sweet cherries
  • ⅓ cup frozen mango
  • ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 10g Vital Proteins collagen peptides
  • ½ scoop Truvani plant based protein, vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

How to Make This Cherry Protein Smoothie:

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

Additions and Substitutions

  • Vegan option: Skip collagen peptides and add 1–2 tablespoon hemp seeds to keep it fully plant-based while maintaining protein and healthy fats.
  • Pro tip: Blending collagen with plant based protein creates a smoother consistency and avoids the chalky texture sometimes associated with plant protein powders. Collagen blends seamlessly without altering taste or texture. I find using a full scoop of vanilla protein powder overpowers both the texture and taste of the smoothie; thus, I love using a variety of protein sources to create the best tasting cherry protein smoothie.

Fun Fact: Sweet cherries aren’t just delicious, they are powerful for inflammation support too. In a study on Bing sweet cherries, 18 healthy adults ate about 45 cherries a day for 28 days. Results showed a 25 percent drop in C reactive protein, an important marker of systemic inflammation, in about two thirds of the participants.

The effect faded once cherries were discontinued, showing that their anti inflammatory benefits depend on regular intake. That is one of the reasons why cherries are considered one of the top antioxidant rich fruits and a fantastic addition to an anti inflammatory diet.

This smoothie is perfect for muscle recovery, a quick breakfast, or a mid-day energy boost. With over 30 grams of high-quality protein and a variety of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals from whole foods, it nourishes your body while satisfying your taste buds.

The combination of collagen and plant-based protein keeps it creamy and smooth, while the mango enhances texture without overpowering the natural cherry flavor. If you’re looking for a cherry mango smoothie that’s high in protein, delicious, and nutrient-dense, plus kid-approved, this smoothie is for you!

Strawberry Protein Smoothie Recipe:

  • 1 ½ cups frozen unsweetened strawberries
  • ½ medium banana
  • ¾ cup unsweetened plain soy milk
  • ½ scoop Truvani Plant Based Protein, vanilla
  • 10g  Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, unflavored
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, hulled
  • 1 tablespoon raw lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon raw beets (optional, for enhanced pink color)

How to Make the Strawberry Protein Smoothie:

  1. Add all ingredients to a Vitamix blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately!

Optional Add-Ins:

  • A date, a dash of maple syrup, or a few drops of monk fruit liquid sweetener for a naturally sweeter smoothie.
  • Extra lemon juice for more brightness.
  • For a twist, cardamom is another fantastic addition to flavor this smoothie.

Pro Tip: Add a tablespoon of raw beets to enhance the pink color. This addition is optional, but for those seeking a more vibrant smoothie, a small amount of beet provides a gorgeous pink color without altering taste.

The strawberry protein smoothie recipe uses only half a scoop of the vanilla flavored Truvani plant based protein powder, combined with soy milk, hemp seeds, and collagen peptides to create a creamy, high-protein smoothie without the grainy texture that can sometimes result from using plant protein powder alone.

To keep this a vegan strawberry protein smoothie, omit the collagen powder and increase the protein powder or add an extra tablespoon of hemp seeds. This maintains high protein content without sacrificing taste or texture.

Peach Protein Smoothie | Creamy, Healthy & Dessert-Like

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.

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.

Peach Protein Smoothie Recipe

  • 1.5 cups frozen peach slices
  • ½ banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (add an extra ¼ cup if using frozen banana)
  • 10 grams collagen powder
  • ½ scoop Truvani plant-based protein, vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

How to Make This Peach Protein Smoothie

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.

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.

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. Also check out my other high protein smoothie recipes for even more delicious ways to boost your protein intake.

  • 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.
