Notes
Soy-free Option:
- Use your preferred non-dairy milk instead of soy milk.
- Omit silken tofu from this recipe – if you’re trying to keep the macros the same, add an extra scoop of protein powder.

Smoothies are one of the easiest meals to make to start working towards a plant-based diet. They are super versatile and nearly anyone can find a flavor combination that they will love. They’re also a really easy way to pack in a bunch of protein and nutrients first thing in the morning, with very minimal effort! I like to add silken tofu to my smoothies for extra protein and creaminess. I also throw in a TON of spinach because you can’t taste it and it makes your smoothie a really pretty green!
Ingredients
- Extra Firm Silken Tofu – you can really use any silken tofu here; I just really like Mori-Nu Extra Firm Silken Tofu. There are two kinds of silken tofu that most stores carry – a refrigerated option near the other tofu varieties, and a shelf-stable one that you can usually find near the International Cuisine Aisle. Both types will work great for this recipe! If you can’t find either at your local store, you can order the shelf-stable one online. I frequently buy the 12 pack because my store regularly runs out. We use silken tofu in this smoothie recipe to add a nice creaminess and increase the amount of protein.
- Soy Milk – you can use whatever non-dairy milk you have lying around but soy milk is my current favorite, because it has the highest protein per calorie. If you sub this out with a different milk, just note that the calories and macros may change slightly.
- Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder – I usually just use Earth Chimp for this because the flavor is subtle and I don’t like strongly flavored protein powders. But if you’re looking for other vegan protein powder options, KOS, Ghost, Tru, and Orgain also have decent options!
- Pineapple and Passion Fruit – I used frozen chunks of both of these and I think they taste SO GOOD together. If you can’t find one of these or maybe don’t like one/both of these fruits, feel free to swap them out with a fruit you do like.
- Baby Spinach – you can never put too much spinach in this smoothie! I literally love drinking spinach because it’s such a quick and efficient way to get a bunch of nutrients that spinach has without having to eat a massive salad everyday.
Instructions
- The BEST thing about smoothies is how freaking easy they are to make!
- Literally just dump all of your ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Highly recommend putting the milk in first so you need less spatula interventions.
