I adore smoothies and I firmly believe that there is a smoothie for everyone. They make an excellent light breakfast, a refreshing healthy drink, or a sweet treat between meals.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

- Thanks to hemp, flax, and chia seeds, this pink smoothie makes a much tastier alternative to a protein shake. Great before or after a workout!

How to Make This Recipe
Like most smoothie recipes, this couldn’t get any easier. Especially considering you do not need to peel or chop anything!
Just add all of your ingredients into the blender and blitz it all together. Once the mixture is smooth, pour it into your favorite glass and enjoy!
Hack It!
- You can enhance your pink smoothie even further with toppings! I like to add some vegan yogurt and melted peanut butter. You can also drizzle some berry compote or add sprinkles!
- Banana and mango make an amazing creamy base for your smoothies. However, if you’re not a fan, you can actually use some frozen blended oats instead. You can freeze blended oats in advance in an ice cube tray.
- If you only have fresh fruit, you can still enjoy this pink smoothie. In this case, I would advise to serve it over ice.
- Out of yogurt? No problem! Add a spoonful or two of coconut cream instead.
