Easy Weekday Vegan Smoothies!

This vegan recovery smoothie recipe is what I call an Easy Weeknight Snack – which is on your table in about 30 minutes.  These quick and simple recipes are perfect for those nights when you want a  homecooked meal but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen.

I have a whole section of The Herbeevore dedicated to Easy Weeknight Meals, that are great for the whole family. From soups and stews, to pastas and proteins – a quick meal can be on your table in no time.  Even faster than ordering a to-go smoothie from a juice bar!

Frozen Cherry Recipes For the Win

I used a few frozen fruits like cherries for this recipe instead of  fresh produce. Frozen produce is a great option for finding fresh and flavorful fruits in the off season. By using freezer ingredients, 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 add amazing fruits right into the recipe.

Frozen fruit is often picked at peak ripeness, so they are a much better option than canned.  Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast! And check out my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples for long-lasting staples that I always keep on hand.

What’s In This Plant Based Recovery Smoothie?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

• Protein Powder: we are huge fans of Chocolate Sport protein which is derived totally from plants and is super delicious. I like that this protein powder isn’t TOO sweet or taste artificial at all.
• Banana: we use fresh banana or have been using this organic banana powder lately since we aren’t getting many grocery deliveries thanks to COVID.
• Dark Cherries: I stock up on these frozen cherries every time we get a Whole Foods order in.
• Water: or you can use almond milk for a little extra protein and creaminess
• Walnuts: the secret to this amazing smoothie! I stocked up on a few bags of these Amazon walnuts here, and they are great to throw a handful into drinks or muffins.
• Ice

The Best Blender for the Job

I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my Vitamix is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients into pulp.  I prefer using my blender to my food processor for sauces like this or homemade hummus, as it’s much easier to clean the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis, especially for post workout smoothie recipes.

How Do I Make This Vegan Post-Workout Smoothie?

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute until smoothie is thick and creamy.

Start the blender on low speed and work your way up to high until all frozen berries and ice are crushed.
