This plant-based protein smoothie is creamy, filling, and super healthy. It contains nutritious ingredients like banana, almond milk, spinach, nuts and seeds, and pea protein. Don't let the green color of this protein shake full you, it tastes just like a vanilla milkshake! It's dairy-free, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious!
Green Protein Smoothie Ingredients
- Banana: We use one overripe frozen banana in this green protein smoothie. Frozen banana provides nutrients, healthy carbs, creaminess, and a light sweetness.
- Spinach: This green protein shake gets its color from the fresh or frozen spinach we use in it. If you don't have spinach, feel free to use another green such as kale.
- Almond Milk: We keep this green protein shake dairy-free by using almond milk. Feel free to substitute any other plant-based milk or regular milk if you are not dairy-free.
- Blender Bomb: Blender Bombs are smoothie boosters you can use in your shakes. They contain healthy ingredients such as nuts and seeds and make your protein smoothie more filling, fiber-filled, and satiating. Use code PBJILLY for 20% off Blender Bombs.
Note: If you don't have blender bombs, we recommend using almond butter instead! An added benefit of using blender bombs or almond butter - a super creamy smoothie! - Protein Powder: We use vanilla flavored pea protein in this healthy protein shake. Pea protein is vegan. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to use any other vanilla flavored protein powder.
How To Make A Green Protein Smoothie

Vegan Smoothie Questions
I love the brand Nuzest. They make a clean vanilla flavored pea protein that only has 3 ingredients. It's vegan, gluten-free, and contains all 9 essential amino acids which are great for workout recovery! Use code: PBJILLY for 20% Off Nuzest.
Adding a frozen banana to any smoothie will make it super creamy and delicious! Another way to ensure your smoothies are creamy is to use an appropriate amount of healthy fats like nuts, seeds, or nut butters.
Yes! Smoothies can absolutely be made ahead of time. Blend the ingredients and store in a sealed jar for 24-36 hours. The texture will be creamy and smooth.
