I never make the same smoothie twice. If youโre like me, some variety in your daily cup of goodness is ideal. In this roundup, Iโve 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, Iโve got you covered!
My Favourite Vegan Protein Powder for Smoothies
Iโve tried them all and Sprout Livingโs Epic Protein powder is by far my favorite. Not overly sweet, mixes in silky smooth, and great ingredients. Use code: thefirstmess for 20% off!
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.
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.
3. Peanut Butter Vanilla Green Shake
This is my go-to smoothie base. Peanut butter, lots of baby spinach, and banana. Itโs hard to go wrong because it tastes amazing, but is so nourishing too.
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.
6. Peach Crumble Shake
Iโm 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.
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.
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.
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.
13. Roasted Strawberry Coconut Shake
Worth the extra step of pre-roasting strawberries! Plus, you can always do a big batch once theyโre 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.
15. Coconut Blood Orange Lassi
Itโs not a secret that I love cardamom in a smoothie, but mix that with blood orange, sweet pear, and coconut yogurt? Even better!
16. Thick Peanut Butter Mocha Smoothie
Super indulgent, but wholesome enough for breakfast. Plus coffee!
17. Tahini Shake with Cinnamon & Lime
An unusual, but super creamy and satisfying combination. The lime helps cut through the richness of the banana and tahini.
18. 5-Minute Spinach Banana & Ginger Smoothie
A whole two cups (!!) of spinach hides in this vegan smoothie with fresh lemon, orange juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Everything you need to kick start your day.
19. Pumpkin Smoothie with Ginger & Cardamom
I will happily enjoy this pumpkin smoothie with a bit of tang from vegan yogurt all year.
20. Beet & Blood Orange Spice Smoothie
More beets, blood orange, and warm spice in a smoothie! I guess I just know what I like! The hot pink hue is hard to resist.
21. Golden Peach Sunrise Smoothie
This invigorating golden peach sunrise smoothie has contrasting notes of spice, sweetness, and tart raspberries.
22. Creamy Vanilla Chip Smoothie
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!
23. Spring Thaw Smoothie
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.
24. Vegan Peaches & Cream Smoothie
This bright and luscious blend is perfect for a filling quick breakfast. A mixture of fresh and frozen peaches delivers on flavor and texture,
25. Chocolate Sweet Potato Smoothie
Rich, deeply chocolaty, and so satisfying: my chocolate sweet potato smoothie is perfect for breakfast and contains no banana!
26. Vegan Chocolate Fantasy Smoothie with Prunes & Flax
Almond butter, frozen banana, vanilla, cocoa powder, and sea salt give this blend a decadent base flavor thatโs boosted with chia, flax, prunes (!!), wheat bran and more!
27. Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie
This is such a bright and lively blendโmade without any banana! Loads of wholesome goodness in this juicy and lemony creation. Perfect for a summer breakfast.
28. Seriously Luscious Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
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.
29. Salted Caramel Apple Smoothie
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.
30. Matcha Banana Breakfast Smoothie with Toasted Pecans
I love that this morning blend isnโt too sweet! Banana and nutty toasted pecans are great flavor matches for earthy matcha.
31. Creamy Chocolate Pear Smoothie with Cinnamon
Another one for the banana averse! Frozen chunks of pear whip up super smooth and thick with rich chocolaty flavors and a hearty pinch of cinnamon.
Peach Crumble Shake & 30 more Vegan Smoothies
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 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. Itโll be super thick! Enjoy immediately.
These smoothies look so delicious and healthy! Iโm definitely going to have to try them out. I love smoothies and Iโm always looking for new and healthy recipes.
so many creative smoothie recipes, thank you, the beet and blood orange one especially, so creative to use those two ingredients!
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!
What are the nutritional numbers: calories, sugar, sat fat, etc.?
Love all the smoothies. I am going to try each of these.
Hey, I tried the Tahini Shake and I love it! I have my own version of the recipe I got from this book.https://tinyurl.com/PlantBasedCookbkLet me know what you think.
Hi, the smoothies look is extremely devouring, and I want to gulp them all up simultaneously. Lol! But as I couldnโt, 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.
This all makes me very excited for peak smoothie season. I get so overwhelmed at choosing a protein powder (#firstworldproblems)- any personal recommendations?
My absolute favourite by a large margin is Epic Protein by Sprout Living. Itโs 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.
Iโll check them out, thank you!
Hi Laura โ are you able to recommend any that are not sweetened with stevia? I canโt stand the taste, and even minimal quantities ruin the experience for me.
Hi Ania,
I honestly havenโt tried one that I like. Epic Protein by Sprout Living has an unflavoured protein in their lineup that doesnโt have any stevia in it, but it definitely has to be blended up with fruit, non-dairy milk etc. I wouldnโt recommend shaking it with just water and ice. Iโve heard that the flavoured protein powder from Bobโs Red Mill is quite good and itโs sweetened with monk fruit (not sure if youโre into that one).
-L
Thanks for your recommendations, Laura. Iโll give these a try for sure. I always add protein powders to smoothies, so I donโt care that it canโt just be shaken with ice. I havenโt come across the BRM youโre 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 Iโm always in awe of how you style yours so artfully!!
The pictures are SO BEAUTIFUL. Iโm loving them so much and also the recipe must be amazing.
Youโre a mind reader! I came here this morning looking for a smoothie recipe (because your smoothies are always the best) and Iโm greeted with this amazing list! I just made the pumpkin lassi and itโs incredible.
