Fitness Fuel Almond Milk Smoothie

Published on 7.1.2021 by Jen Hansard

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW
almond milk smoothie

Smoothies are a great way to nourish your body with natural energy and vitamin boosts. If protein is what you're looking for, then def give this almond milk smoothie a blend. It's a berry filled, protein powered beverage that can fuel your day the right way.

What's in an almond milk smoothie?

This smoothie is loaded with berries, banana, and almond milk. Feel free to use the berries of your choice. If you'd like a lower sugar option, then use ½ banana and ¼ cup cauliflower. This keeps the sweetness yet cuts back on the natural sugar.

Make sure to use unsweetened almond milk in this smoothie, as sweetened almond milk often has gums + additives that the body doesn't need. If you love the idea for this smoothie but need an almond-free option, then keep reading!

Store bought vs homemade almond milk

While almond milk has come a looong way since first appearing on grocery store shelves, making your own almond milk is a great option too. Reading labels is important, yet when you make your own milk, you know exactly what goes into it... plus, it's super easy!

I've got a no-fail homemade almond milk recipe, plus my team's also done the research to find the best store-bought almond milk brands as well. Either way, you can't go wrong with a good plant milk and a great almond milk smoothie recipe like the one below!

Non-dairy milk alternatives

While almond milk is super popular as well as easily available in most grocery stores, it might not be for everyone. If you love the idea of a milk-based smoothie yet can't do almond milk, then that's okay! There are SO many great options out there: oat, coconut, soy, cashew, hemp, flaxseed, rice... the possibilities are seemly endless.

Either make your own dairy free milk, or grab a new kind from the store next time you shop; I promise you'll find an option that's right for you.

FAQs

Is almond milk good for weight loss?

It can be! Almond milk has fewer calories and fewer carbs than cow's milk. Yet not all almond milk is the same. Def read labels when buying to minimize your exposure to gums and additives in almond milk. This almond milk smoothie is a healthy breakfast or snack.

What is the healthiest milk for smoothies?

Since more than ⅔ of adults have a dairy intolerance, I recommend reaching for a non-dairy milk option for smoothies. Honestly, each kind of milk has different pros and cons, so really the healthiest milk for smoothies is the one that's right for you. Check out my guides on shopping for oat or almond milk to help.

Does almond milk make smoothies thicker?

Yes! Almond milk is a great way to thicken up that smoothie, as well as make it creamier. If you're swapping in almond milk for a smoothie recipe made with water, then you may need to add a bit more milk than the recipe calls for, to help it blend well.

If this smoothie turned you into an almond milk lover, then I've got some more great recipes for you!

  • Chocolate protein shake
  • Almond butter n' jelly smoothie
  • Dragon fruit smoothie
  • Cinnamon date smoothie
  • Honey turmeric smoothie
  • Almond smoothie

Don't forget, if almonds aren't your thing, then just swap the almond milk for your fav dairy free milk option. You can't go wrong with cashew, oat, coconut, pecan, rice, walnut... the sky's the limit! This almond milk smoothie will still be super creamy and delicious, no matter the milk you choose.

Plant-powered Protein Boost

Boosting smoothies with protein helps keep you full longer, and helps your body better process all the leafy greens + fruit you're consuming. Protein Smoothie Boost is the cleanest way to add protein to smoothies, and it's for all smoothie lovers! No need to lift weights to enjoy added protein (yet it works for gym enthusiasts too!).

I love that this plant protein powder can quickly turn any smoothie into a complete meal that my body will benefit from. It adds 10 grams of protein, turning this almond milk smoothie into a 14.7 gram protein drink!

    What makes this so high in calories? I can't have bananas so if I add your plant-based protein powder and substitute applesauce for the banana, how do I calculate the calories per serving?

    Many thanks.

      So glad you asked! Turns out this recipe was originally created to include the 'optional almonds' in the nutrition info. They've been removed and now the Berry Protein Smoothie shows the more accurate 218 calories per serving. Adding our Protein Smoothie Boost will increase the calories by 100, and swapping out the banana (-105 calories) for unsweetened applesauce (+84 calories) would mean this Berry Protein Smoothie would be a total of 297 calories per serving.

    I planned to use almonds but discovered that the ones I had were lightly salted, so I skipped them and will try this again when I have plain almonds to use. Almond milk was the predominant flavor in this one. I used frozen berries and the banana was fresh but not very ripe, so here again, fresh fruit might change which ingredient you taste the most.

    This hasn't always been my favorite smoothie; but this time I tried it with homemade almond milk + Protein Smoothie Boost, and that made all the difference! The sweetness just comes from the fruit, instead of in the aftertaste of my store bought almond milk. And this was super filling too!

    I enjoyed this much more than I expected, I usually find mixed berry smoothies too tart for my liking so I added a little extra banana, maybe 3/4 instead of 1/2 of one. I enjoyed the blend with the almond milk and added almonds, it tasted a bit like cocoa too me, so I'm curious what I would be with a chocolate flavored protein powder. Hmm, may just have to repeat and try it again.

    I made this as a meal replacement, adding 2 tablespoons of protein powder and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Plus I added 1/4 cup basil just to see what it would taste like. I prefer the Day 1 and Day 2 smoothies, because they just used water, so were lighter tasting. The almond milk needs some getting used to. Next time I'd like to try this with almond meal. However, this protein-packed smoothie helped me go from breakfast to lunch with an even-level of energy.

    I like the flavour combination on day 3 of the 10-day spring smoothie challenge. I could see how a little cacao powder would make a tasty chocolate-fruit dessert smoothie. I used homemade almond milk that wasn’t strained, so my smoothie was a little thick from the pulp. I added hemp protein powder to make a breakfast meal replacement. I gave 4 stars because I prefer tropical smoothies and not the almond milk ones as much, but that might be because I didn’t strain out the pulp.

    My first time trying almond milk. Loved it! I bought the unsweetened knowing the fruit do the sweetening. I forgot to soak the almonds so will try that next time. Due to the lack of good, fresh spinach in this town, I’m using frozen organic until I can make the hour trip to buy fresh. Waiting on delivery of SGS meal replacement protein & will try recipe again with that!

      Hey Jen - adding in the Protein Smoothie Boost and additional almonds can sometimes knock the sweetness down a touch. If you know ahead that you're wanting to rawk that protein boost in your smoothie, be sure your banana is nice and ripe to up the sweet factor.

    Not a huge almond milk fan but the berries seem to cover the flavor for the most part, just leaving the creamy texture behind.

      Dif almond milk brands have different flavors to them. You might want to check out our Almond Milk Reviews to see if there's one that would work better for you the next time you rawk the Berry Protein Smoothie. Happy blending!

      Hey there Linda! You can use any type of milk that works best for you (like rice milk, oat milk, cashew milk, etc). Or, if no plant-based milk will do the trick, def use water!

    Yummy! Tart at first, but just sweet enough when you get going. I would probably add more banana next time. Added a boost with some flax!

    I didn’t look ahead and missed the step to soak the almonds. Thankfully I have a powerful blender and the almonds blended perfectly. I had to add a little water but other than that I made it as outlined.
    Loved the flavor of this smoothie.

    This was so delicious! I didn’t have strawberries so subbed raspberries and a beet and used coconut milk & almond pulp (from making homemade almond milk) plus dinosaur kale. My 4 year loved it so much he asked for more

    I still do not have blueberries so substituted blackberries. I forgot to soak the almonds overnight so just soaked them for about 30-60 minutes in the almond milk before blending. I added black chia seeds. Really enjoyed the creaminess and light almond flavour.

    This one is tasty! I used almond butter instead of almonds because I forgot to soak overnight. I ran out of strawberries so I mixed in some cherries as well. Tropical smoothies are my favorite, but this one gets bonus points for the nuttiness - it's very filling too.

    This was my first time putting whole almonds into a smoothie. Really like the flavor that it adds.
    Did have to add a little water to this one due to the fruit being frozen and making it quite thick.

    Yummy. I added the optional almonds (which I did soak overnight) and also tossed in some chocolate protein powder. This is so delicious, especially since I'm having as my post workout protein smoothie. It wasn't as sweet as others but also not tart. There isn't a single taste that stands out, everything blends perfectly, even my chocolate, after all who does not like chocolate dipped strawberries, bananas or blueberries. Right?

      Hi Andrew,

      We personally don't count calories, so we don't include them in our recipes at this time. You'll find that when you consume more nourishing whole fruits and veggies, you will not only feel full longer, but you'll also have lessened cravings for high-calorie, nutritionally empty foods. So in the end it balances out. But we know many people would like to have calorie info.

      Hi Judy,

      There's a wide variety of almond milks you can reach for. Personally we always try to ensure it's free of added sugar or yucky additives. Trader Joe's + Whole Foods are both great options. You can also make your own! Check out our recipe here...

      Using almond meal in this recipe is a great option! Just a quick FYI: 1 dry cup of almonds = a little less than 1 cup of almond flour.
