But whether you\u2019re blending your breakfast or elevating your post-workout concoction to more than simply protein powder and <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/best-plant-milk\/\">plant milk<\/a>, a scroll through social media\u2019s many recipes may have you perplexed by the choice of health-touting ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>The perfect vegan protein shake or smoothie should taste great, be rich in vitamins and minerals, have a texture that\u2019s neither too thin nor too thick, and be easy to make.<\/p>\n<p>Here, we\u2019ve provided some top tips for Vitamix perfection, every time.<\/p>\n<h2>8 Simple Protein Shake Game-Changers<\/h2>\n<h3>Witness The Thickness (Without Added Carbs Or Sugar)<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to the increasing popularity of plant milks, forgoing dairy in your protein shakes is no longer to the detriment of your creation\u2019s consistency. That said, extra creaminess is the preference of many a Nutri-bulleter, and for those looking to keep calories low, it\u2019s not always as simple as coconut cream or avocado.<\/p>\n<p>But there are two great low carb, sugar-free and totally natural thickening agents you may not have known about for the desired effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Psyllium husk.<\/strong> Most commonly available in powder form that\u2019s easily mixed in protein shakes and smoothies, psyllium husks are derived from the seed of the Plantago Ovata plant and are a highly soluble source of fibre. Mix in around one teaspoon to 300ml of liquid for calorie-free thickening.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chia\/flax seeds.<\/strong> High in protein and tasteless in flavour, chia and <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/flaxseed-benefits\/\">flax seeds<\/a> both gel up in a similar way to how gelatin does. Use a teaspoon of them in their whole or milled forms to bulk up your smoothies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-693875 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/AdobeStock_265609306-1200x675.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Drink Your Vegetables<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the reasons smoothies have been so widely adopted as a nutritious breakfast or snack is for their ease of quick nutrients. There are many ways to incorporate an extra portion of your five-a-day into your drink. While seasoned smoothie-makers will likely have experimented with leafy greens already, consider these three somewhat unsung additions for particularly added value:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Frozen cauliflower.<\/strong> Not only can cauliflower be used as an additional thickening agent, it\u2019s extremely nutrient-dense, high in fibre and antioxidant-rich, all for only 25 calories per serving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frozen courgette.<\/strong> Another nutrient and antioxidant-rich vegetable, courgette has also been shown to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/16918875\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aid healthy digestion <\/a>thanks to its soluble fibre content, which feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut and in turn produces short-chain fatty acids to nourish gut cells.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steamed sweet potato.<\/strong> Fibrous sweet potatoes come with many health benefits, including vision support from beta-carotene and anthocyanins which prevent damage from free radicals. Steamed and swapped for the banana in your shake or smoothie, they provide a great taste addition while also being lower in sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Tastemakers<\/h3>\n<p>Not all that is good for us tastes delicious, but if you see your smoothie as more of a means to pack in nutrients than an epicurean masterpiece, here are a few tried and tested ingredients to offset unwanted bitterness.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ginger in green smoothies.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Balance out the nutrient density in your green juice with a fiery punch of fresh ginger. As well as acting as a natural sweetener, ginger has been used in natural remedies and medications for thousands of years thanks to its high amounts of vitamins B, C and E, plus magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and zinc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ice and frozen fruit.<\/strong> It might seem obvious, but one of the greatest fixes for a not-so palatable smoothie blend is a deep freeze. Just a few ice cubes in your blender will result in a far more refreshing drink, muting the potency of otherwise bitter or bland ingredients. If you make shakes or smoothies a few times a week, you could also consider freezing your fruit and vegetable supplies. It\u2019ll add the same benefits as ice to your taste, while also retaining their nutritional value and flavour for longer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Alternative nut butters.<\/strong> Peanut butter is a go-to ingredient in bulk-touting, muscle-reparative shakes, but mixing things up could be the flavour tweak needed to keep taste bud boredom at bay. Almond butter tends to be nuttier and richer than peanut, while cashew is naturally somewhat milder (though watch out for added salt). Those with nut allergies (or who simply prefer it\u2019s relative bitterness) can alternatively opt for sesame seed-derived tahini.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-526411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Shaker-Facebook.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6 Protein Shake Recipes<\/h2>\n<p>The below recipes showcase some of the vegan protein shake and smoothie ingredients mentioned above.
