A nourishing strawberry banana oat smoothie that’s packed with plant-based protein and fiber. This vegan smoothie is made with bananas, strawberries, soy milk, hemp hearts, almond butter, oats and dates.
Are you looking for a refreshing breakfast recipe that will keep you full for hours? This recipe is packed with fruits and made with high-fiber ingredients for a filling and delicious breakfast. It also has a good dose of protein thanks to soy milk, almond butter and hemp hearts.
There’s really nothing like a cold, refreshing smoothie for breakfast on a warm summer day. I hope you’ll love this one too!
This smoothie contains about 21g of protein. This is a good amount of protein for a filling breakfast for most people, but if you’re looking to add more protein, I’m sharing some tips below.
Yes! If you’re looking to add more protein, you can add a scoop of protein powder. Though this is not necessary for most as this smoothie contains a good dose of protein already, do what works for you. I recommend using a plain protein powder that won’t overpower the delicate flavors of this smoothie.
There are many ways to add protein to a smoothie. Soy milk, hemp hearts, almond butter and oats all add protein to this particular smoothie. Protein powder is a convenient option. Other options include certain yogurts, nuts, seeds and even tofu. You can find my tips on how to add protein to a smoothie without protein powder here.
If you have a weaker blender, the oats might leave a grainy texture in the smoothie. Feel free to skip the oats if you prefer. You can also skip the oats and hemp hearts for more of a sweet fruit smoothie. The oats and hemp hearts make this recipe more filling and hearty. It might not be for you if you prefer a very sweet fruit smoothie.
This smoothie will stay fresh for a few hours when refrigerated. However, because this smoothie contains a banana, which will brown with time, the quality will deteriorate quickly. I don’t recommend making it the night before for this reason. Also, the oats will absorb water with time, so expect a thicker smoothie if you drink it later. This is a smoothie that’s best enjoyed freshly made.

Thank you for the recipes! One question , I'll love to print the recipes with the picture, is it posible? When I try to print them only the picture option doesn't work :) thank you in advance
Was super excited to try this recipe and it was tasty but the oats made the texture too grainy. Would it be weird to cook the oats first? Then maybe reduce the soy milk to compensate? Love your recipes! Thank you!
Hi Carrie, I'm sorry that the oats made the smoothie grainy. I haven't noticed this using my Vitamix blender, but I'm wondering if it could be due to the blender? I have had issues with oats in smoothies when using weaker blenders (Magic Bullet or Nutri Bullet for example). I would recommend skipping the oats entirely if this works for you. You could also try soaking the oats overnight in the soy milk and adjust the liquid as needed (you might need more). But I can't guarantee that it will work. I will add a note in the recipe for this. Thank you for the feedback!
