Ingredients & Substituents 

You’ll need:

• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter

Frozen banana will help yield a creamy and thick protein smoothie. It will also keep it cold without the use of too many ice cubes if you don’t want to use them.

• 1 scoop vegan protein powder (≈20g protein)
  
  

• 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (or almond milk)

But keep in mind that soya milk is an excellent source of protein. Swapping it for something else may change the protein content in this recipe.

• 2 tbsp rolled oats
  
  

• 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
  
  

• 4–5 ice cubes
  
  

• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
