I never make the same smoothie twice. If youโ€™re like me, some variety in your daily cup of goodness is ideal. In this roundup, Iโ€™ve got over 30 satisfying, and delicious vegan smoothies for you to try out. Whether you need some new breakfast inspiration or a wholesome and quick snack, Iโ€™ve got you covered!

Overhead shot of a pink smoothie served in 3 glasses with The First Mess cookbook shown to the side.

1. Hot Pink Beet, Berry & Almond Butter Smoothie
An unusual but highly cravable combination once you get used to it. This one comes from my cookbook, and I still drink it all the time.

A head on shot of a maca caramel frap with some lilac flowers, a pinch bowl of salt, and raw cashews nearby.

2. Maca Caramel Frap
This one has a bit of a butterscotch vibe that tastes so indulgent. A little spike of coffee makes this a good option first thing in the morning.

A 3/4 angle shot shows a peanut butter vanilla green smoothie on a wooden board. The top of the smoothie is dusted with cinnamon.

3. Peanut Butter Vanilla Green Shake
This is my go-to smoothie base. Peanut butter, lots of baby spinach, and banana. Itโ€™s hard to go wrong because it tastes amazing, but is so nourishing too.

An overhead shot of a deep green colada on a marble background in direct sunlight with harsh shadows. Bananas, pineapple, and coconut shreds are scattered nearby.

4. Deep Green Colada
All the pineapple and coconut-tinged tropical feels, but with a super food twist of spirulina!

5. Chocolate Banana Oat Breakfast Smoothie
Pantry goods like oats, almond butter, plant-based protein powder, and cocoa blend luxuriously with frozen banana.

Overhead shot of a peach crumble shake on a white wood background. Ingredients for the shake are scattered nearby, including: sliced peaches, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Included in a roundup of vegan smoothies.

6. Peach Crumble Shake
Iโ€™m a fan of oats in my smoothies, what can I say! This one has all those hints of the summertime dessert, but with feel-good ingredients like chia seeds in the mix.

A head on shot of a bright green ginger smoothie in a clear glass jar in front of a white background. Kale leaves and fresh ginger roots are nearby. Included in a roundup of vegan smoothies.

7. Wild Ginger Green Smoothie with Coconut Water
So refreshing with the zingy ginger and fresh lime, and perfectly thirst-quenching with the coconut water base.

Overhead shot of a deep burgundy shake in a clear glass jar. It is photographed in harsh light on top of a shimmery rock with matching, pink-burgundy magnolia petals nearby. Included in a roundup of vegan smoothies.

8. Berry Beet Velvet Smoothie
Berries, coconut butter, raw cacao, and caramel-y dates. This one hints at rich red velvet vibes, and is boosted with a deep red, slightly sweet beet.

9. Spiced Strawberry & Goji Berry Smoothie
A comforting and familiar fruity blend with the added goodness of soaked goji berries and warm spices to shake things up.

10. Banana Bread Shakes with Walnut Milk
This recipe calls for a homemade walnut milk, which really takes those banana bread flavors over the top.

11. Frozen Rosemary Watermelon-Ade
Once the deep heat of summer sets in, I challenge you to find a more refreshing smoothie. The rosemary is unexpected and incredible.

An overhead shot of a double chocolate espresso smoothie that is garnished with chopped hazelnuts and cacao nibs. The smoothie is on top of a beige tablecloth with a small bowl of cacao nibs to the side.

12. Espresso Chocolate Hazelnut Shake
This one from the Blissful Basil Cookbook definitely inches toward dessert territory. The roasted hazelnuts blended into the smoothie remind me of a certain breakfast spread.

An overhead shot of a light pink roasted strawberry and coconut shake on top of a distressed wooden cutting board. A knife and cut strawberry tops/leaves are nearby.

13. Roasted Strawberry Coconut Shake
Worth the extra step of pre-roasting strawberries! Plus, you can always do a big batch once theyโ€™re in season.

14. Deep Tropical Vibes Green Smoothie
The inclusion of mango, coconut, fresh ginger and orange juice means that you can hide a good amount of kale in this vegan smoothie.

A head on shot of a blood orange and coconut lassi in a clear glass in front of a white tile background. There are blood orange peels scattered around nearby.

15. Coconut Blood Orange Lassi
Itโ€™s not a secret that I love cardamom in a smoothie, but mix that with blood orange, sweet pear, and coconut yogurt? Even better!

Like all of my smoothies, this one is naturally vegan, and also perfectly sweet, loaded with fragrant vanilla bean powder, cacao nibs, rich cashew and coconut butters, and is thickened with frozen pear instead of banana!

A head on shot of a light orange spring thaw smoothie in two glasses with a small vase of snow drop flowers in the background.

This is the perfect way to welcome sunnier days returning. Carrots, citrus, and frozen banana combine with baking spices and nut butter for a slightly unusual vegan breakfast smoothie.

A head-on shot of a vegan peaches and cream smoothie in two glasses with metal straws. Peach purรฉe and vegan yogurt create a tie dye effect on the glass.

Frozen pitted sweet cherries combine with bright and tangy red berries, vegan yogurt and cacao powder. This silky and decadent smoothie is shockingly appropriate for the morning hours.

A head-on shot shows a glass of salted caramel apple smoothie. The glass has been drizzled with almond butter "caramel" sauce and has a swoop of vegan yogurt at the bottom. Apples are seen nearby; all on a wooden board.

An indulgent and rich fall smoothie that celebrates the tangy goodness of apples! Freezing chunks of apple prior to blending gives us the ideal frothy texture.

20 Vegan Smoothies - The First Mess
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe peaches โ€“ pitted, sliced and frozen
  • ยผ cup rolled oats
  • 1 pitted Medjool date
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • big squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • ยพ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, optional
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • ยฝ cup filtered water

Equipment

Notes

  • I used my cashew pecan milk for the non-dairy milk here. SO good! But any milk will due.
  • The lemon juice seems weird, but is necessary to lift up some of the oat-y, sweet flavors here. If you have orange juice around, a splash of that might work too.

Instructions

  • In an upright blender, combine the frozen peaches, oats, date, chia seeds, almond butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla, protein powder (if using) non-dairy milk, and water. Blend on high until thoroughly combined and frothy. Itโ€™ll be super thick! Enjoy immediately.

    Laura these smoothies are getting me through the early days of a new baby! So nice to have all these recipes in one place and always so complete. Thank you!

    Love all the smoothies. I am going to try each of these.

  • Vegan witch's kitchen

    Hi, the smoothies look is extremely devouring, and I want to gulp them all up simultaneously. Lol! But as I couldnโ€™t, so I decided to make them all one by one during this summer, the first one I tried is Caramel Smoothie, and it was so delectable. Thank you for sharing the recipes with us.

  • Jackie

    This all makes me very excited for peak smoothie season. I get so overwhelmed at choosing a protein powder (#firstworldproblems)- any personal recommendations?

    • Laura

      My absolute favourite by a large margin is Epic Protein by Sprout Living. Itโ€™s minimally sweetened with whole leaf stevia (most plant-based proteins are way too sweet for me), and just has great flavour. I generally switch between chocolate and vanilla.

      • Jackie

        Iโ€™ll check them out, thank you!

      • Ania

        Hi Laura โ€“ are you able to recommend any that are not sweetened with stevia? I canโ€™t stand the taste, and even minimal quantities ruin the experience for me.

        • Laura

          Hi Ania,
          I honestly havenโ€™t tried one that I like. Epic Protein by Sprout Living has an unflavoured protein in their lineup that doesnโ€™t have any stevia in it, but it definitely has to be blended up with fruit, non-dairy milk etc. I wouldnโ€™t recommend shaking it with just water and ice. Iโ€™ve heard that the flavoured protein powder from Bobโ€™s Red Mill is quite good and itโ€™s sweetened with monk fruit (not sure if youโ€™re into that one).
          -L

          • Ania

            Thanks for your recommendations, Laura. Iโ€™ll give these a try for sure. I always add protein powders to smoothies, so I donโ€™t care that it canโ€™t just be shaken with ice. I havenโ€™t come across the BRM youโ€™re recommending โ€“ last time I picked up BRM pea protein powder (just pea protein as an ingredient), but I find it tastes a little weird, even when mixed with fruit into smoothies. I wish it were possible to buy single serving packets, but I think only Vega sells these, but even though they have tons of lovely flavors, they all do contain stevia.

    Styling smoothies is the bane of my existence, and Iโ€™m always in awe of how you style yours so artfully!!

  • Alejandra Graf

  • Abby

    Youโ€™re a mind reader! I came here this morning looking for a smoothie recipe (because your smoothies are always the best) and Iโ€™m greeted with this amazing list! I just made the pumpkin lassi and itโ€™s incredible.
