    Eat Dirt Vegan Protein Shakes (Best Smoothie!)

    This recipe for eat dirt vegan protein shakes received an Honorable Mention (10 VIP Free Product Coupons!) as the Best Smoothie entry in the The Spring Fling Dairy-Free Recipe Contest, hosted here on Go Dairy Free, and sponsored by So Delicious Dairy Free.

    Eat Dirt Protein Shakes - superfood vegan smoothies with a fun presentation

    Go Dairy Free - The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance and Casein-Free LivingCreated by Sarah of A Whisk and Two Wands, these vegan protein shakes really do look the part with their “dirty” topping, but are tasty, chocolaty and fun to eat!

    We admit to cheating on the sweet side, using dark chocolate rather than cacao nibs in the shake and adding a few drops of vanilla stevia since we opted to make it on the icy side, but we are slight sugar fiends in this test kitchen.

    Sarah says, “While we created this recipe to post for Earth Day it is a great recipe for Spring. Spring is when we plant our gardens and flower boxes and watch everything sprout and grow!”

    Author: Sarah of A Whisk and Two Wands
    Serves: 1, or two smaller cups
    Ingredients
    Dirt Topping:
    • 2 tablespoons raw hulled hemp seeds
    • 1 tablespoons cacao powder
    • 1 tablespoon sweet cacao nibs, or chopped chocolate
    • 2-4 spinach leaves
    Shake:
    • 1 cup So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Almond Plus Protein Almond Milk
    • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries, frozen berries will make it thicker
    • 1-2 big handfuls of spinach, or greens of choice
    • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (Sarah used Vega Choc-A-Lot Protein Smoothie for kids, Vega One Chocolate for herself)*
    • 1 tablespoon cacao nibs (or dairy-free chocolate chips!)
    • 1 cup ice
    Instructions
    1. Mix topping ingredients together and set aside.
    2. Blend shake ingredients together in a Vitamix, or high-speed blender, until smooth.
    3. Pour into glass, top with topping mixture, and place spinach leaves in top. Enjoy!
    Notes
    *Can use vanilla as it will still be brown with greens and berries but not as dark. Vega Performance Protein can also be used, which ever fits your needs for the day. If you want to make it without protein powder you can add 2-3 tablespoons of cacao powder and adjust sweetness using sweetener of choice.
