Four Different Protein Smoothie Recipes

By: Sarena Shasteen | March 8 2018
We are a family that is in full-on go mode the second we wake up every morning. We have a 5-year-old daughter in pre-school who loves to sleep, so it’s sometimes a struggle to get her up, get her fed, dressed, teeth brushed, and out the door within 50 minutes from the time she wakes up. While all this chaos is going on, my wife and I are also trying to get ready for the day, so some days it's just absolutely nuts! Several times a week we opt for a protein shake. They’re delicious, nutritious, and most importantly are beyond quick to make. We’ve been using Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powders and Smoothie Powder Nutritional Boosters for some time now, and it’s funny because each family member has their favorite. My wife loves the chocolate, my daughter is the vanilla fan, and I am the pea protein powder fan. While the recipes I created in the video are ones that we make regularly, we also like to change things up a bit too. I say this because I don’t want you to feel that you have to stick to our recipes, because there are several ingredients between the chocolate and vanilla, as well as the pea and hemp, that would interchange wonderfully. The Kale Hemp Smoothie that I made is loaded with greens and fruit consisting of fresh kale leaves, pineapple, apples, pears, banana, coconut water, Bob’s Red Mill Hemp Protein Powder, and ice. It’s a simple blend and absolutely loaded with nutrients. This one is my second favorite. The Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie is my wife’s favorite and it is loaded with strawberries, avocado, coconut milk, Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Protein Powder, and ice. It has tons of healthy fats and protein and is amazingly creamy and delicious. The Vanilla Almond Smoothie is my daughter’s favorite. It has Bob’s Red Mill Thick Cut Oats, almond butter, banana, Bob’s Red Mill Vanilla Protein Powder, almond milk, and ice. I had some leftover homemade almond milk and man was it good!  This one is packed with fiber and protein. The Vegetable Pea Smoothie is my personal favorite and it is similar to a veggie tomato juice and a Bloody Mary, minus the vodka of course. It has carrots, celery, baby spinach, beets, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, tomato juice, Bob’s Red Mill Pea Protein Powder, and ice.  If you're a tomato juice fan, then this one will blow your socks off! Since it is a savory smoothie, be sure to adjust the seasonings accordingly! Happy blending!

    I luv Bob's red mill products, have hemp for smoothies, almond flour, amaranth and brown rice flour for baking. Got some baking soda, better taste than Arm and H. Will try the vanilla smoothie next.

      Hi Mary, you could use a program like my fitness pal. We don't have a program to workout the nutritional breakdown for recipes.

    Hi there, approximately how much measurement-wise is in 1 scoop? I bought a bag of your pea protein powder and don't have a scoop. Thanks!
