Why This Recipe is Healthy

Vegan Cherry Pie Protein Smoothie Ingredients
- Cherries: Be sure to use pitted frozen cherries. Cherries with pits in them don't blend very well 🙂
- Maple Syrup: This ingredient is optional and makes this protein shake lightly sweet like a cherry pie!
- Almond Butter: Almond butter brings healthy fats to this vegan protein smoothie, making it creamy and more filling.
- Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber and plant-based protein.
- Protein Powder: I love vegan vanilla pea protein powder from NUFYX. Use code PBJILLY for 15% off. Peanut Butter is a partner with NUFYX because of how delicious their heavenly protein powder is. It tastes great on it's own, in smoothies, or oats, and they also test for heavy metals, include digestive enzymes, and are certified organic.
- Almond Milk: To keep this cherry pie protein shake vegan, we use almond milk. Oat milk would also work.
- Oats: Oats add that "pie" taste and are a great source of healthy carbs and fiber.Cinn
- Cinnamon: Add a dash of cinnamon in this vegan cherry pie protein shake for added cherry pie flavor!
