The Best Vegan Smoothies for Meal Prep

Hey y'all! Welcome back to Make It Dairy Free. Happy new year! This is 2020. I just wanted to make that joke. We are super excited to have you join us for a second year of all brand new content and we are going to get started with a super fun video for you. So a lot of you guys have asked for more breakfast, more meal planning type of recipes, more things that are on the go and so that is exactly what we're kicking off this new year with. We are bringing you not one, not two, not even three, but five smoothie ideas that are perfect for on the go, after workouts, after school, and of course they're great for breakfast. And oh yeah since there are five of these that means that there is one for every day of your work or school week which saves you so much time and money on your budget so you don't have to eat out when you're on the go. Normally these only take about five minutes to prep but when you prep them for the week like we did in these containers they go even faster. They are so easy to do that even your kids can make them and so let's get right to it and show you how to make these and start your new year off the right way. All right so first up we have our blueberry coconut smoothie. We're going to start with some full fat coconut milk and flaxseed, in with our rolled oats to help it make it super filling, some shredded coconut, cashews, and then in with our frozen blueberries and our banana. You're going to put the lid on to your blender and then blend it until it's nice and smooth and creamy. This one is super thick so if you would like it thinner you can always use carton coconut milk instead. Next up is our tropical smoothie. We are combining again coconut milk in this one. We're using carton here but you could use full fat, some maple syrup, cashews, then in with our pineapple and some strawberries. And then we're going to finish this up with a frozen banana. You can definitely add some other tropical fruits in here if you want like a papaya or a mango and then just blend it until it's nice and smooth and creamy again. If you're taking this to work with you make sure you put a lid on it and take it to go. Next up we have our kale green smoothie. This one we are going to start off with some coconut water and then we are going to go straight in with some rolled oats, then some chia seeds, and then follow that up with a fresh orange or you could also use orange juice and some kale. Then we're going to top that off with a frozen banana and some agave. Blend it up just like we did the other ones. In our house our kids like to call this one the grinch smoothie and we are happy to oblige as long as they are getting those greens in. Next up we have our mango avocado smoothie. This one is loaded with healthy proteins and we are going to start with some dairy-free milk, add in some cashews, go in with some chia seeds for some healthy omega-3s, and then add in our kale avocado and then top that off with some frozen mango cubes. Add your lid and blend. What's great about this one is that the avocado makes this one super creamy and it's also loaded with really healthy fats. Next up we have our triple berry smoothie. This is the favorite one in our house. We're going to start with some dairy-free milk and then add in some maple syrup. Next up we are going to go in with some cashews and then we're going to add our berries. We're doing strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries but you could get fancy and add in some blackberries too if you wanted to make it four and then add in your banana and blend it together. This smoothie comes out a super fun purple color but if you take this with you somewhere like work then it may turn a little dull but it's still just as fun and just as nutritious as it was to start.
