Introduction
Have you seen the recent ‘eating my skincare’ trend? We have a runner up: Smoothies. It isn’t just a delicious breakfast. It’s self-care in a blender. One sip and you will already feel the glow from within. Of course, not every vegan smoothie is healthy. Some are just sneaky sugar traps. That’s why we have put together a list of smoothies that are dairy-free, naturally sweetened and the perfect balance of carbs, fats and proteins to keep both your gut and your tastebuds happy.
The 5 Most Easy Healthy Vegan Smoothie Ideas
Green Detox Smoothie
If your gut is throwing tantrums on the daily, this detox smoothie will calm it right down. Made with spinach, banana, lemon and almond milk, this green goodness only takes a few minutes to make but keeps you full for hours.
We promise, it’s a delicious drink with a lemony kick that wakes up your gut, flushes out all the toxins and keeps you hydrated. This makes it one of our favourite healthy vegan smoothies that is simple, nourishing and perfect for any time of the day.
Berry Glow Smoothie
Say goodbye to the 20-step skincare routines, a mixed berries smoothie is all you need for that glass like clear skin. Blend some colourful berries with oats, soy milk and flax seeds for a tart, creamy glass.
Oh, and if you love a cold, thick texture, add in some ice as well. This totally photogenic, antioxidant-packed drink is the best vegan smoothie for glowing skin.
Chocolate Banana Oats Smoothie
On days when the sugar craving becomes impossible to ignore, a chocolate banana smoothie is the way to go. This sweet, creamy delight tastes like a treat and fuels like a gym snack.
To make it, just blend some banana, pure cocoa powder, oats, peanut butter with almond milk. Voila! You’ve got yourself the perfect fix for sugar cravings that is rich in protein and magnesium to lift up your mood on bad days.
Tropical Immunity Smoothie
Dealing with seasonal sickness? This is one of the best immunity boosting dairy-free smoothies that fights inflation and keeps you feeling amazing and tastes like vacation in a glass. All you need is some mango slices, pineapple chunks blended with some coconut water.
Pour it to a cute glass, crown it with a lemon slice on the rim and the iconic umbrella straw for that summer feel.
Protein Power Smoothie
Whoever said you can’t get enough protein on a vegan diet needs to try this one. This protein-packed treat is one of our favourite Vegan smoothie ideas for post-workout fuel.
Grab your blender and add in some oats, almond or peanut butter, dates, soy milk and chia or flax seeds. Now blend until your patience runs out then sip while your tastes buds celebrate and your muscles recover.
How to Upgrade Your Vegan Smoothie
- Want your smoothie to be extra nutritious? Keep your chia, flax and hemp seeds right by the blender so you never forget to add them in.
- Slice up your favourite fruits and freeze them before you add it to your drink. Frozen fruits are the ultimate hack for that thick, foamy smoothie texture.
- Top up your smoothie with nuts or granola crunch for a crunchy twist in every sip.
- Toss in a handful for spinach or kale as it disappears in flavour and leaves behind the good nutrients.
- Add a little bit of cinnamon and ginger for a flavourful kick that also boosts your metabolism.
