This Plant Based Protein Shake is filling and amazing, and packed with 25g of plant based protein!
I like to have the entire shake as a meal replacement protein smoothie. But you could split it with someone to lower the calories and enjoy it as a snack.
This yummy meal replacement smoothie comes with 5 optional add-ins and you get to use your favorite berries. Making this vegan protein shake completely customizable!

Ingredients for Vegan Protein Shakes
I like to get frozen berries, they are usually cheaper and they are already frozen. Frozen fruit will thicken up your protein smoothie, plus it keeps it extra cold without having to add in ice that will just water down the flavor.
I also like to slice and freeze the bananas ahead of time. In fact, anytime a banana is “past its prime” (basically any spots- picky kids) I slice it and add it to the freezer. This means I always have frozen bananas for smoothies, and never have to throw them out.

How to Make Vegan Protein Shakes
It may seam strange that I have blender cleaning as part of the directions. But hear me out… I have written 100’s of smoothie recipes and I know a think about cleaning blenders.
If you let the ingredients set in the blender for more than 10 minutes, they stick and make cleaning a nightmare. But if you rinse it out (you can still scrub it later!) right away, cleaning is super easy.
How to Make a Vegan Meal Replacement Shake:
- Add the ingredients, along with any optional add-ins you choose to a blender.
- Pulse to get everything moving, then blend for 1 minute, adding more plant based milk 1/8 cup at a time to reach your desired thickness.
- Pour into a glass or jar, and rinse out the blender right away (or the ingredients will stick and make clean up later difficult).
- Serve cold.
