Getting protein into your smoothie has never been hard, but if you’re sick of unnatural/artificial vegan protein powders. The ones that offer protein, calories and little more. You can substitute them with these ingredients that will be much better for you and easier for your system to process.
Pumpkin seeds contain 5 grams of protein per ¼ cup and 71 calories. Combined with ½ cup of oats, you’ll have 13 grams of protein in total as well as plenty of iron, zinc, potassium and magnesium.
Healthy fats that are low in carbs, and a great source of Magnesium. This mix is great if you’re trying to slim down while improving definition. Use raw, unsalted almond butter and 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for a total of 12 grams of protein.
Hemp seeds are well known as a great source of protein, with 4.3 grams of protein for every tablespoon, as well as being rich in iron and magnesium. This pairs well with kale which shares those traits, and a similarly high protein per gram.
With 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds and a cup of kale, you’ll get 18 grams of protein, as well as Vitamin A, E and K.
They’re not only delicious, but they’re low in carbs and calories, it’s essentially 50% protein. An ounce of pistachios has 6 grams of protein and 159 calories. I like to add them to most my smoothies, they pair well with any of the ingredients up here and add tons of flavor.
