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.
