Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prep this smoothie ahead of time?
I highly recommend preparing this smoothie when you are ready to enjoy it.
What kind of protein powder should I use?
I like a clean, plant-based vanilla protein powder with no added sugar. My favorite brand is Truvani!
Can I use fresh blueberries?
You can, but the smoothie won’t be as thick or cold. Just add more ice to compensate.
Is this smoothie good for kids?
Totally! Just leave out or reduce the ginger if they’re sensitive to spice.
The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to blend up this delicious smoothie:
Frozen blueberries: Packed with antioxidants, these tiny berries are the perfect base to this vegan smoothie.
Banana: This fruit helps bring out natural sweetness and helps create a creamy texture.
Fresh lemon juice: It will brighten up your tastebuds with a citrusy tang.
Fresh ginger: Just a small piece gives the smoothie a fresh, spicy kick (optional, but I love it!).
Coconut milk: I use my favorite coconut milk for creaminess, but you can use any plant milk you like.
Vanilla protein powder: This makes the smoothie more filling with up to 20 grams of additional protein.
Spinach: I love using spinach in smoothies because it adds nutrients without changing the taste.
Ice cubes: Keeps it cold and refreshing.
The Instructions
Just toss everything in your blender and blend until smooth! Here’s a quick step-by-step:
Step one: Add the frozen blueberries, banana, lemon juice, ginger, spinach, vanilla protein powder, and ice cubes to your blender. Finish off with coconut milk. Blend until creamy and smooth. Enjoy immediately.
Tips + Modifications
Too tart/spicy? Modify the smoothie to your liking. You can remove the fresh ginger or lemon juice.
No coconut milk? Use almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk—whatever you have on hand.
Add superfoods: A scoop of chia seeds or flaxseeds blends in beautifully for added nutrition.
Make it a smoothie bowl: Pour it into a bowl and top with granola, fresh berries, and a drizzle of almond butter!
