What’s In this Protein Smoothie with Bananas?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Bananas – I like to peel and freeze my extra bananas, which are perfect for this smoothie.
- Milk – you can use any variety you like! The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be. I used an almond milk for this one, as it’s my go-to for smoothies.
- Walnuts: because I love adding these to my smoothies.
- Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
- Vanilla Extract
Frozen Banana Recipes For the Win!
I used frozen bananas for this recipe instead of using fresh. By freezing bananas, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can have amazing frozen fruit to add right to my blender.

This was super delicious! I was wondering if I can substitute vegan protein for any other non protein powder source, like oats?
Hi Linda – thank you! Great question on the protein powder. If you do substitute it with oats (1/4 cup should be great, I add that to my smoothies often!) also make sure to add something else for a little sweetness – perhaps 1-2 dates or 1 teaspoon of agave nectar/maple syrup. That way, you get some of the sweetness from the protein powder along with the protein + fiber of the oats! If you try it, let me know how it goes and I’ll add a note in the recipe card 🙂
