This vegan breakfast smoothie tastes just like a Pina colada and is just as refreshing! You’ll love how quick and easy it is to prepare. Plus, it tastes just like a super summery cocktails you’d sip on while lounging on a sandy beach in the Caribbean! What could be better?
Vegan Breakfast Smoothie
It’s summertime here in New England, which means hot, humid days that are not going anywhere anytime soon! While I personally LOVE this weather, I have to admit, a cool refreshing smoothie really is necessary. Who wants to eat hot oatmeal for breakfast, or steamy soup for lunch when it’s 90 degrees outside? Not this girl!
Vegan Smoothie Challenge
That’s why I chose to launch the Vegan Smoothie Challenge this month! Why not beat the heat with 30 days of cool, creamy, flavor-filled drinks that are guaranteed to fill you up and not weigh you down? You can join the challenge now and learn 30 fantastic vegan smoothie recipes and all my favorite smoothie-making tips, tools and tricks to blending the perfect smoothie!
Just about 100 readers have joined the challenge this week alone, it’s been super fun! Aside from the smoothie recipes you’ll receive weekly emails to motivate you to keep the challenge going all month long!
Weekly Emails
Oh, and did I mention the helpful emails that comes with the challenge too? Yep, that’s part of the deal! 🙂
You really can’t go wrong with this challenge! If you’re new to eating vegan it’s a smart way to replace one meal a day! That’s how I started when I went vegan. I just replaced my eggs and toast with a delicious, fruity (and sometimes nutty) vegan smoothie! To be honest, they all tasted much better than the boring yogurt and fruit smoothies I drank in the past, so making the switch was a no-brainer!
Long-Time Vegans
If you’ve been vegan for a long time, you can join the challenge too! Why not mix things up? You can incorporate new and different nutrients into the mix and boost your nutrition and quite possibly your immune system too!
Plant-Based Foodies
The vegan Smoothie Challenge is a cool way to incorporate more plant-based foods and meals into your diet. Give it a shot! These recipes blend a variety of flavors and nutrients, making it fun for your tastebuds and healthy for your body and mind. A few more plant-based meals a day (or week) never hurt nobody! 😉

My Favorite Smoothie Gadgets & Products
Y’all, I’m a big fan of this Vitamix Blender ($349) which is admittedly pricy upfront but blends your smoothie into creamy, cool perfection in seconds! It totally worth your investment and lasts a lifetime. So important for vegans since we eat so many nuts – the normal blenders just don’t cut it!
Other high quality blenders I like are the Nutri-Bullet Pro for $79 which is great because you can blend and go with the portable travel tumbler! My other fave’s include these winners, some of which are also ON SALE right now!
Ninja Pro $199 on sale for $169
Kitchenaid High Performance $449
Blendtec Designer 725 for a whopping $750 but now on sale for $599
Oh and I’m in LOVE with this Vega Protein Powder, I’ve been using it for years in my pre and post gym smoothies and it tastes better than ANY other protein powder I’ve ever tasted, and that’s a lot! Plus it comes in an affordable to-go pouch, pretty convenient!
