PROTEIN SMOOTHIE RECIPES
I get a lot of requests for all kinds of high protein smoothie recipes.
People want high protein smoothies for breakfast and high protein smoothies for weight loss.
Some want high protein smoothie recipes without protein powder using only whole foods, and some want to add a scoop of protein powder.
Still others want 100% plant-based, vegan protein smoothies while others definitely like to use yogurt. (Of course, most people know by now you can easily substitute a recipe with non-dairy yogurt).
Of course, high protein green smoothies are always a great breakfast or post-workout snack.
So I decided to create this comprehensive list of the best tasting high protein smoothie recipes that satisfy what YOU are specifically looking for. 🙂
I have also separated this list with information of interest, such as whether you want high protein smoothies without protein powder or with, dairy-free or not, or you need a chocolate fix! ENJOY!
