8 Energy Smoothie Recipes

At the top of our energy smoothie list? This Vanilla Protein Smoothie! It’s full of creamy, lightly fruity flavor and 25% of your daily protein! Even better: there’s no protein powder: just all natural, delicious ingredients! It tastes more like a vanilla milkshake than a protein drink, which made it a hit in our house (it’s a favorite of our 3 year old). Drink the large size and you’ve just downed half of your protein for the day! It’s perfect for breakfast or a post-workout snack.

Want a sneaky way to add fiber, protein and anti-oxidants to your morning smoothies? Try this tasty Chia Seed Smoothie! Chia seeds in smoothies is our favorite trick to add even more goodness to this healthy breakfast or snack option. You can throw a handful into any energy smoothie recipe, but our favorite is this creamy strawberry smoothie. It’s beautifully fruity, icy, and the perfect way to hide these healthy seeds!

This creamy strawberry cheesecake cottage cheese smoothie has become my secret weapon for protein-packed breakfasts and snacks! With 20 grams of protein, it’s the perfect solution when you need something quick, nutritious, and delicious.

This energy smoothie is a fun way to eat this healthy whole grain: the perfect Oatmeal Smoothie! Blend up oats with banana and peanut butter and it tastes, oddly enough, just like a bowl of oatmeal! The puree is perfectly scented with cinnamon and ultra creamy! It's packed with protein and fiber (head to the recipe for nutrition info). This one went over so well in our house, it’s one of our favorite smoothies yet.

I created this blue spirulina smoothie that delivers those dreamy poolside vacation vibes as a healthy drink! Made with natural blue spirulina, you can add protein powder to make it a filling snack or breakfast.

Want a protein-packed energy smoothie that’s full of fruity, creamy flavor? Try this strawberry Greek yogurt smoothie! This tasty drink has just the right sweet flavor and creamy texture. Greek yogurt is the key, packing this smoothie with a whopping 20% of your daily protein needs. It makes this drink a great way to start the day, or perfect for breakfasts or snacks. You can substitute in any type of frozen fruit!

Want to eat more broccoli? Here’s an interesting way to use it: throw it into an energy smoothie! This Magic Broccoli Smoothie makes nutritious vegetable taste sweet and creamy. You can barely even taste that it’s there! It's got lots of protein and fiber: add even more with chia seeds or protein powder.

Want a fun blend of smoothie flavors? Here’s our final favorite energy smoothie: this perfect Strawberry Blueberry Banana Smoothie! This trifecta of ingredients makes for the best fruity flavor and creamy texture. It’s sweet tart and vaguely tropical, with a hint of cinnamon to give it complexity. This one has lots of protein and fiber already, but again: you can add even more with chia seeds or protein powder.
