Meal Replacement Smoothie

Published on 9.1.2021 by Jen Hansard

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW

I believe that any time is a great time for a smoothie, especially when you're trying to turn it into a meal replacement. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack, post workout fuel, late night munchies, etc— you name it! Our bodies have some vicious cravings (and also need) vitamins and minerals all day long. Leafy greens and fresh fruit in a blended smoothie always makes for a great option. I use the meal replacement smoothie recipe below to power my day with whole foods and plant protein, and now you can too!

Yet at certain times of day, our body needs different things to thrive. Let's take actual meals, like breakfast, lunch and dinner. These meals are super important— and can be easily swapped for a green smoothie. You just have to know the right way to do it, which we talk about below.

Health Benefits of a Meal Replacement Smoothies

A smoothie can be a meal replacement if using the correct ingredients. I drink meal replacement smoothies for breakfast or lunch most days. Sometimes it's because I'm in a hurry and just want to down something asap. Other times it's because I'm trying to slim down (usually after vacation). Swapping a meal with a smoothie can benefit you in these ways:

  • You'll be more energized thanks to all the fresh, raw ingredients
  • They're super quick to make and drink
  • You're hydrating your body
  • Less bloating than usual when eating a meal
  • It'll help with weight loss

How to Turn a Smoothie into a Meal

The key to replacing meals with smoothies is including healthy fats AND proteins. Healthy fats and proteins are the way to go if you want to power up with a green smoothie meal replacement. This combo will keep you feeling full and give you the energy you need to cruise right through 'til your next snack or meal. Below are our favorite options for smoothie meal replacement boosters:

Pick a Plant-Based Protein

Plant-based proteins keep your body full and give you tons of energy. They also help repair your muscles, which is perfect for that post-workout buzz. Oh, kale to the yeah!

  • Hemp hearts
  • Chia seeds
  • Plant-based protein powder
  • Rolled oats
  • Tofu

Pick a Healthy Fat

Healthy fats protect your heart, keep your energy levels up, boost metabolism, and lower bad cholesterol levels. So please don't skip the fats. They're actually really, really good for you! And the ingredients below make your green smoothies extra creamy.

  • Avocado
  • Coconut oil (or mct oil)
  • Almond butter
  • Chia seeds (yep, here they are again! These babies are loaded with healthy fats and protein, making them a great everyday booster)

Examples of Meal Replacement Add-Ins

Smoothies can be the perfect fast food by adding healthy fats and plant-based protein. Use one of these meal replacement booster combos in your next green smoothie. The boosts are measured to work with all 250+ of our smoothie recipes.

  • 2 tbs chia seeds + 2oz silken tofu
  • 2 tbs hemp hearts + ¼ avocado
  • 2 tbs plant-based protein powder + 1 tbs coconut oil
  • 1 tbs almond butter + 2 tbs rolled oats
  • 2 tbs chia seeds + 1 tbs coconut oil

Meal Replacement Smoothie FAQs

When is the best time to drink a meal replacement smoothie?

Any time is the right time for a smoothie! Personally, we love drinking ours in the morning for a great start to the day. But besides drinking a smoothie as breakfast, lots of rawkstars drink their smoothie for lunch or dinner, as an afternoon snack, or as a healthy dessert.

In case you’re planning on having your smoothie in the evening--most of our smoothies provide a great energy boost similar to a cup of coffee. So if you're looking for a pre-bedtime green smoothie recipe, we've got you covered: Sleep Well Smoothie.

Is replacing a meal with a smoothie healthy?

The MOST important thing when blending any meal replacement smoothie recipe is to include healthy fats AND proteins. This combo will keep you feeling full and give you the energy you need to cruise right through ’til your next meal or snack. 

Do smoothies help you lose weight?

If you swap out a meal (or two) each day with a smoothie, there's a good chance you'll lose weight and also have more energy. This is due to the increased nutrition and decrease in overall calories. What's even better than a smoothie is a green smoothie. When you add in leafy greens you're adding fiber and phytonutrients... yet very few calories. My smoothies recipes are made with nutrient dense foods that curb cravings and keep you full longer.

I have a Plant-Based Cleanse that includes two smoothies a day, plus snacks and meals to help you lose weight, yet more importantly understand how to nourish your body so the weight falls off without ever feeling hungry.

    I would like to try this again, perhaps using oat milk instead of almond milk. The almond milk and the almond butter combo was too almond-y for my taste but I don't think it is the fault of the smoothie, like the other reviewers have said, personal taste really can affect what we think of each recipe.

    The recipe in the 10 challenge was a little different than this recipe. I used whole almonds but I see this recipe uses Almond butter. Will definitely try again using the almond butter to see if that changes the grittiness from the whole almonds I used.

    -we used oats that we rolled/pressed ourselves and a dash of vanilla for aromatics. This was a very tasty smoothie!

    I actually really liked this smoothie, especially as a meal replacement. I added avocado and hemp seeds and I wasn’t sure if it was the oats or the avocado that made it extra thick, but it was good. The blueberries added a light flavor to the smoothie. Would definitely make again

    I followed the recipe and I had read somewhere about soaking the almonds, so I did that as well for about 90 minutes. I like it, but don't love it. I probably should have gotten more ripe bananas because I don't care for the taste unripe bananas give smoothies, pretty much overpowering. So, next time I will use a more ripe banana and will probably try using almond butter rather than almonds (not sure why I didn't think about that as I have almond butter here already and I'm guessing I will like it much better. Definitely a beautiful purple color from the blueberries!

    For me today smoothie was not good at all I was afraid that I would not be able to drink it. But, I added lime to the mix and it was perfect. The line brought out the flavors and it was wonderful. For that reason I’m only giving this particular one a two star because it was almost inedible.

    I think this may be my favorite so far. None of the flavors screamed at me but seemed a subtle blend tasting of almond, banana and blueberry. As before I did not taste the spinach or the oats. This one did not seem to make as much smoothie as the two previous.

    The test will be how long before I'm hungry.

    This smoothie is pretty good. Seemed like it was a little "flat" I was short half a banana so that could have contributed. I always make 2 servings as my daughter wants to join in with me. I added some pomegranate so that may have contributed to the taste, now that I think of it!

    I will have to try this smoothie one more time. I made it this morning for breakfast. I shouldn’t have added the whole cup of almond milk because it was way to watery. Since I like my smoothies thick, I added ice but that really diluted the flavor. Next time, I will keep adding a little bit of almond milk until I get it to the right consistency.

    Day 3 Smoothie
    I didn’t have any almond butter so I used ‘just peanuts’. My oats are flaked instead of rolled. I will give it a second try when I get the proper recipe ingredients. Hopefully, I will find it better. I did add 4 frozen cherries to increase the flavour.My regular favourite smoothie includes 3 dates, 1 banana, 2 generous tbsp of peanut butter, almond milk and a scoop of chocolate protein smoothie powder - delicious.

My fault I'll try it again next week!` Giving a 5 star in anticipation!

    OK - I reviewed the recipe and realised I missed the almonds! I think this would have improved the taste for me.. Maybe the blueberries weren't flavourful - they were fresh that I'd had in the fridge for a few days - so maybe not the best either.. I'd try again - but it was a little bland for me..

    A bit bland. I liked the idea of adding oats. I added organic peanut butter to give it some taste.

    This was good, but not my favorite. I added organic spirulina, and I’m not sure how much that affected the taste.

    I didn't care for the taste or the texture of the meal replacement smoothie.

    Don't let the color put you off. It is incredibly dark. I am a tubie and thought I would be fighting the texture to get it through the tubes, but I did not have to fight it at all (I was relieved). If you have reservations about odd colors, probably don't start with this one. It is a very filling smoothie.

    Another Great smoothie. I was so surprised with how the almonds and oats didn't give this a bad texture! So filling!

    This was a great smoothie with just a hint of sweetness from the banana.

    The recipe in the 10 Day Challenge packet was slightly different: 1 cup of spinach (instead of kale; I prefer spinach anyway); only 1/2 a banana; 1 tablespoon of almonds (instead of almond butter, both of which I have plenty of); and no protein boost, optional or otherwise. It was so delicious that I had to make a second serving for my smoothie buddy (my husband's caregiver, who has to get my husband up in the morning), who loves smoothies and uses them to start his day.
    We both loved this smoothie and plan to add it to our smoothie menu!

    I start every morning off with pure celery juice. I use the smoothie recipes as meal replacements. I've been using BioTrust protein powder, but today I received my order of Simple Green protein boost. I'll look forward to trying that tomorrow. Today's smoothie with spinach, blueberries, banana and other ingredients was very good. I also signed up for a juice challenge with Joe Cross which happened to start the same day. I have my juice drink in mid afternoon. I haven't been hungry at all since starting the challenges. Please put Joe Cross in your prayers as he found out Monday that he has Covid. He has symptoms, but he's hoping to be over it soon.

    So-so. I used a frozen half banana instead of a fresh one, so maybe that's what made it so thick that I had to use a spoon.

    Day 3. I love this Smoothie. It's filling and delicious. The Spinach is a wonderful addition of greens. I will add this one to my go-to Smoothie list.

    My new favorite smoothie. What’s wild is that I am not a huge fan of almonds! This is absolutely delicious though.

    This is delicious and SO filling! I substituted cherries for the blueberries as I’m unfortunately allergic to blueberries. I’m guessing cherries brought up the calorie and sugar content, but I enjoyed it

    I'm giving this 4 stats because it wasn't as filling for me for some reason . It has alot of calories too . Kinda weird I thought it would hold me til lunch . Maybe it's just me .
    It was thick like pudding . I think I added too many greens because it wasn't purple .

    I shopped for and used the recipe for the meal replacement smoothie noted in the 1/5/22 email which is different than the kale recipe in today’s meal replacement smoothie. The recipe I used called for spinach instead of kale and had other different ingredients too. The smoothie was ok but not as tasty as the Day 2 smoothie for me. It was easy and refreshing.

    Personally not a fan of this one. It did keep me full throughout the morning but not super happy with the combination of ingredients. Less banana/more blueberry?
