I developed this smoothie when preparing for a trip to Mexico. It made me feel like I was already on vacation, sipping something delicious while relaxing on the beach. It makes a healthy breakfast or a quick and delicious snack.
2 cups (480 ml) plain organic soy yogurt
2 cups (480 ml) frozen mango, pineapple chunks, strawberries and peach slices
1 Tbsp (15 ml) hulled hemp seeds
1 Tbsp (15 ml) golden flaxseed
1 Tbsp (15 ml) oat bran
2 Tbsp (30 ml) vegan protein powder
½ tsp (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract
Juice of 1 lime
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy immediately.
PROTEIN POWER!
When shopping for vegan protein powders, try to choose ones that are as natural as possible. I don’t recommend any flavored powder other than vanilla (if you are using vanilla protein powder, omit the vanilla extract from the recipe).
