Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather your ingredients. Grab one cup of fresh or frozen raspberries. Raspberries taste great and give a nice zing to your drink. If you use frozen ones, your smoothie will be thicker and cold, kind of like a shake.

You’ll need one cup of unsweetened almond milk. This is your liquid base. Almond milk works well because it’s creamy without the dairy. You could also use oat or soy milk if you prefer.

Don’t forget two tablespoons of cocoa powder. This is where the chocolate flavor comes in. Choose a good-quality cocoa powder for the best taste. It makes the smoothie chocolaty and rich.

Add in one scoop of vegan protein powder. Choose your favorite brand, but vanilla or chocolate flavors would blend well here. This adds the protein punch to keep you full and energized.

Lastly, add one tablespoon of chia seeds. These small seeds are packed with nutrients and give a bit of texture. You can skip them if you want, but they are a healthy addition.

Once you’ve got everything ready, you’re all set to blend it up into a tasty and nutritious smoothie!

Variations To Try

• With different kinds of milk: You can switch up milk in your smoothie. Almond milk gives a nutty twist, while coconut milk makes it creamy and tropical.
• With fruit: Add more fruits for extra antioxidants. Throw in a few blueberries or strawberries. They mix well with the raspberries and add color and flavor.
• With banana: If you like it sweeter, add a ripe banana. It makes the smoothie thick and creamy too.
• With seeds: Want a crunch? Use chia seeds or flaxseeds. They add fiber and omega-3s, making your drink even healthier.
• With nut butter: For extra protein, consider peanut butter or almond butter. They add a rich, nutty flavor and make the smoothie more filling.
• With greens: You could also mix in some spinach or kale for a green boost. These veggies are nutrient powerhouses and won’t alter the taste too much.
• With spices: If you enjoy a little spice, add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg. These spices add warmth and depth to your drink.

Storage Tips

• After making your protein smoothie, you might want to store some for later. Pour the smoothie into an airtight container. This will help keep it fresh for longer.
• If you plan to drink it the same day, keep it in the fridge. Give it a good shake before you drink it, so it stays nice and smooth.
• For longer storage, you can freeze the smoothie. Use a freezer-safe jar and leave some space at the top, as liquids expand when frozen. Just thaw it in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy it again.
• Avoid leaving the smoothie at room temperature for too long. It can spoil quickly if not kept cold. Enjoy your drink fresh!
