Why You’ll Love This Vegan Peanut Strawberry Protein Smoothie
I love Smoothie King as much as the next person. Their smoothies are tasty, convenient, and reasonably priced. But sometimes you want more protein – or you just simply don’t feel like making the drive. That’s where this homemade version comes in: it’s all the flavor you love, with even more nutrition, all in the convenience of your kitchen.
Our recipe is a true protein powerhouse, packing in about 60 grams of plant-based protein (tripling the amount of SK’s version). It’s also fully customizable. You can choose your favorite non-dairy milk (soy and pea protein blends will boost the protein even more), and experiment with different nut butters. Just keep the sweetness balanced, since most protein powders already contain sweeteners.
Want to take it up a notch? Add a splash of coconut water for extra hydration/electrolytes, sprinkle granola on top, or drizzle a little extra peanut butter for an indulgent touch.
Best of all, this smoothie comes together in just 5 minutes – making it one of the quickest and easiest ways to fuel up and satisfy your cravings.
