What are some good vegan smoothie recipes?
Category: Smoothie Q&A
I love to make smoothies, but i’m not much for milk or yogurt bases (or anything with bananas). Any suggestions? I’m looking for something new. I’ve got a good blender.

No such thing.
strawberries, honey,(or sugar) and tofu. Any kind of nuts are suprisingly good too. Its gonna take some sweetner though.
frozen berries
orange juice

My girls and I love making what we call, “Berry Good Smoothies”.
We use a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, (You can use whatever berries you like) with an equal amount of ice and about 1/4 cup of honey.
For a finishing touch and great flavor enhancer, toss in a little bit of chopped up, fresh mint.
Blend well and enjoy!

Quite a few of the other recipes have honey in them and, technically speaking, are not vegan. I make smoothies all the time and include whatever fruits I like with soy or oat or almond milk, sometimes even coconut milk. I also sometimes add non-bonechar sugar or organic chocolate syrup. An easy recipe is a blender filled with strawberries and blueberries (probably almost 4 cups of strawberries and one 4 oz pack of blueberries), soy milk to fill, and a good ****** of chocolate syrup:) You can also add ground flax seed or flax seed oil for some omega 3′s!
