5. Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Smoothie

Peanut butter in a smoothie? Yep, it sounds crazy, and it is—in the best way possible. Peanut butter adds protein to this refreshing berry blush smoothie recipe that will help start your day off right with an essential dose of healthy fats. If you are avoiding soy milk for any reason, use any type of unsweetened milk instead.

INGREDIENTS

• 1–2 tablespoons all-natural peanut butter
• 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (we love Organic Valley)*
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats
• 1 cup milk, any kind

DIRECTIONS

• Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.

6. Key Lime Pie Shake

Key lime pie may taste great, but it is anything but healthy with heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and sugar. This smoothie is low-sugar and high in protein – perfect for a post-workout meal or as a snack when traveling! This drink is a weight-loss secret to some, and it’s surprisingly simple to make. The addition of cottage cheese may sound strange, but this gives your smoothie a rich milkshake consistency. Dairy intolerant? Replace the cottage cheese with tofu for a similarly satisfying texture derived from protein. To keep this drink relatively healthy as possible, omit the pudding mix and xanthan gum— they only add unnecessary calories and chemicals you don’t need.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Cottage cheese
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1 tbsp Sweetener of choice
• 1/2 cup Spinach

DIRECTIONS

• The ingredients should be mixed in a blender until smooth and left with crushed graham cracker if desired.

7. Sunrise Smoothie

This tropical-tasting smoothie will whisk you away to a mini-mental vacation in anticipation of its high vitamin and fiber content. However, the sugars come from healthy fruits like berries, an orange, and a banana—all things that may help keep you trim.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup organic frozen mixed berries
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 orange, peeled and segmented
• 4 – 6oz Vanilla Greek Yogurt (I used a 5.3oz container of Vanilla Oikos)

DIRECTIONS

• Combine all ingredients in a blender, then blend until smooth.

8. Dark Chocolate Peppermint Shake

This year-round smoothie allows you to enjoy the taste of chocolate peppermint bark no matter what time of year it is and without all the sugar. This one of our top weight loss smoothies tastes like dessert but, thankfully, doesn’t have the same waist expanding effect. Top your drink with a dollop of Greek yogurt for the protein and calcium to take to the next level.

11. Grape and Blueberry Protein Smoothie

For those who are not fans of using nutritional powders or have no more at home, this creative breakfast smoothie for weight loss is a must-try. It’s made from puréed and scrambled eggs instead of whey or plant protein. The egg has many benefits that include aiding muscle recovery and fighting fat cells with its choline to make you look awesome! Adding a handful of berries and a few grapes to our smoothies can help trim down by warding off cortisol, the hormone that triggers fat storage when you’re stressed out.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup frozen red grapes
• 3 large ice cubes

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

• Scramble eggs over medium heat and cook until they are fluffy. Serve immediately or set on a plate to cool before serving.

12. French Toast Protein Shake

Although the idea of a fresh and delicious French toast breakfast shake is great, it’s important to be aware that there are some drawbacks. Though we love this recipe, we don’t like the high level of Stevia extract used in this mix – even just one packet per serving! We suggest adding a little less than recommended for starting with (maybe half) and then increase from there if you think more is needed. The less stevia extract you use, the better!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup Cottage cheese
• 1 scoop protein powder
• 1 tsp Maple extract
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Water
• 1 cup Ice
• 1 tbsp Sweetener of choice

DIRECTIONS

• Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until a creamy consistency is achieved. Add more or less ice depending on taste preference..

13. Berry Oat Smoothie

If you’re not in the mood for oatmeal, this blueberry-oatmeal smoothie will keep your hunger at bay while still providing many nutrient benefits. Make sure to use one of our best yogurts for weight loss in your home version.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup milk – (more as needed)
• ½ cup frozen berries
• 3 tablespoons honey – (or to taste)
• ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt – or Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup ice

DIRECTIONS

• Add all ingredients to a blender. Cover tightly and pulse until ice is broken up, then puree until smooth. Taste and add sweeter if needed or milk if it is too thick. Serve immediately.

14. Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake

Frozen bananas and peanut butter work together to create a rich, creamy texture that will trick your taste buds into thinking it is sinful. When you use unsweetened almond milk, this smoothie has protein without the sky-high sugar counts of other smoothies.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large peeled, sliced, and frozen overripe bananas
• 1 cup original almond milk (or more to thin as desired)
• 3/4 cup ice
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

16. Raw Chocolate Smoothies

Raw cacao is different than chocolate in two significant ways: it has powerful antioxidants and a surprisingly high amount of fiber. Paired with honey, which contains sugar found naturally in fruit, the taste is almost indistinguishable from what you are used to, but it actually serves as an enjoyable healthy alternative.
