This recipe is the perfect Kroma's Reset-approved breakfast, snack, or post-workout refuel — ready in about 5 minutes.


WHERE DID PROTEIN SMOOTHIES COME FROM?

Smoothies date back to blended fruit drinks popularized in the mid-20th century, but the protein smoothie as we know it today grew out of the fitness and wellness world, where blended fruit, yogurt, and protein powder became an easy way to refuel after a workout or start the day with a filling breakfast. Pairing blueberries and banana with a scoop of protein powder is a classic combination, since the fruit's natural sweetness balances the protein powder while keeping the whole drink simple and quick to make.


WHY A PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SMOOTHIE?

This recipe keeps things simple and genuinely filling with Kroma's Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein Powder, which adds a warm, subtly spiced flavor along with plant-based protein to every glass. Plant-based Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess and protein, while frozen blueberries and banana provide natural sweetness without any refined sugar. A finishing topping of Kroma's Super Granola adds a satisfying crunch, turning this smoothie into more of a complete, textured breakfast.

It's dairy-free, naturally sweetened, and ready in the time it takes to blend.

BENEFITS OF PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

This isn't just a quick smoothie — it's built to keep you fueled:

  • Protein-Packed: Kroma's Vanilla Cinnamon Plant Based Protein Powder and plant based Greek yogurt combine for a genuinely filling, muscle-supporting breakfast or post-workout refuel.
  • Rich in Antioxidants: Blueberries are packed with antioxidants that support overall health.
  • Naturally Sweetened: Frozen blueberries and banana provide natural sweetness, so there's no added refined sugar.
  • Added Crunch & Fiber: Kroma's Super Granola adds satisfying texture along with extra fiber.
  • Dairy-Free & Plant-Based: Made entirely with plant-based ingredients, ideal for those avoiding dairy.



TIPS FOR THE BEST PLANT-BASED PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

  • Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen blueberries and banana are essential for a thick, milkshake-like consistency — fresh fruit will make it thinner.
  • Blend Thoroughly: Blend until fully smooth, so there are no lumps of yogurt or protein powder left in the finished smoothie.
  • Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick to blend easily, add a small splash of dairy-free milk to help it move.
  • Add Granola Last: Top with Kroma's Super Granola right before drinking so it stays crunchy instead of getting soggy.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Freeze pre-portioned bags of blueberries and banana so you can blend a fresh smoothie quickly on busy mornings.



SERVING SUGGESTIONS

  • Classic Glass: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy with a spoon to scoop up the granola topping.
  • Smoothie Bowl: Pour into a bowl instead of a glass and add extra toppings like sliced banana or fresh blueberries for a spoonable version.
  • Pair with Protein: Enjoy alongside a boiled egg or handful of nuts for an even more filling breakfast.
  • On the Go: Pour into a to-go cup and add the granola in a small side container to keep it crunchy until you're ready to eat.

This Plant-Based Protein Smoothie brings together the natural sweetness of blueberries and banana, the creaminess of plant-based Greek yogurt, and the functional benefits of Kroma's Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein Powder — all finished with a crunchy granola topping. It's a simple, feel-good way to start your day or refuel after a workout — one glass at a time.


ENJOY!

What makes Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant Based Protein Powder special?

Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant Based Protein Powder adds a warm, subtly spiced flavor along with plant-based protein, making it easy to turn a simple fruit smoothie into a filling, protein-packed meal.

Can I make this smoothie without protein powder?

Do I need any special equipment to make this smoothie?

No. A standard blender is all you need — no food processor or high-powered blender required for this recipe.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
