High-Protein Vegan Shake Recipes

This chocolate cherry protein shake (Minimalist Baker) is made with fresh cherries, plant milk and chocolate vegan protein powder. Buy fresh cherries (they don’t last long) and avoid brown stems (they should be green).

Wash them under cold water before use, then eat and cook, or drain (remove the stems) and freeze in a single layer until ready to use.

If you eat a lot of cherries, it’s worth buying a cherry stoner (which you can also use to stone olives). Keep both away from children and pets, due to choking hazards (stone fruits also contain natural cyanide).

If you make a lot of mylkshakes, it’s worth investing in a quality blender with a glass jug, so the motor won’t burn out. It doesn’t have to be a silly price, just spend a bit more on quality.

It’s also UK law that whoever you buy from, must recycle the old appliance if you take it with you.

This vegan Snickers protein shake (Notably Vegan) may be a good recipe to make a few types, to put it to memory. Then you get all the benefits of enjoying the flavours of one of the world’s favourite chocolate bars. But without the animal ingredients, palm oil, refined sugar and plastic packaging.

Don’t use metal straws for dexterity issues, children or on the move, as they don’t flex. 

As well as vegan protein powder, the shake contains plant milk, crunchy peanut butter (choose an organic brand free from palm oil), dairy-free chocolate chips (Moo Free is a good brand sold in stores) and is sweetened with Medjool dates.
