Health Benefits of a Plant-Based Smoothies
Right before we dive into the recipes, it is important to address why these vegan smoothies are so beneficial. As I’ve mentioned before, they are jam-packed full of nutrients. The average green smoothie recipe provides more than 100% of your daily vitamins A (check vegan sources of vitamin A), C and K; with a satisfactory amount of B and E alongside that.
Blending fruits and vegetables break down the cells of the plants, which, in turn, improves overall digestibility. It maximises the nutrients that need to be delivered to your body and makes it healthier and much more efficient like you get in your Vegan Banana Smoothie.
Muscle Building Smoothie Recipes
According to nutritionists and other health professionals, these vegan shakes are proven to lower high cholesterol levels, and blood pressures, whilst also strengthening immunity and improving mental focus as well as clarity. They are also an excellent source for minerals, meaning that each smoothie is rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, copper and many others nutrients. This rich array of minerals helps in bone-building and help protect your body from certain foods.
1. Mocha Blast Mass Gainer
Don’t you just love a nice chocolate drink from Dunkin’ Donuts? Of course, who doesn’t? They’re delicious! But some problem. The chocolate drinks over there aren’t exactly going to help with building muscle and they aren’t vegan (You read the reason behind why are Donuts not vegan with us). It comes high in saturated fats and added sugars, which may negatively impact heart health and increase the chances of certain types of cancer. So, what do you do?
The Mocha Blast Mass Gainer is the perfect alternative. The shake offers very similar attributes to a shake found in Dunkin’ Donuts, but the only difference being is that it has a ton of protein. But since it is quite a violent drink with coffee content, it is best to settle with DECAF during night times and caffeinated during the day. This smoothie serves as an ideal breakfast, mid-day energiser and after workout solution.

Mocha Blast Mass Gainer
Ingredients
- 12 oz Leftover Drip Coffee
- 3 tbsp Vegan Protein Powder
- 3/4 cup Coffee Ice Cream (You can add any accidental vegan Ice Cream)

- 8 oz Vegan Whole Milk
Instructions
- All you need to do is combine all the ingredients, drop it off in a blender, wait until it is thoroughly mixed, and voila— it’s that simple! It takes less than 10 minutes!

It also comes with peanut butter that has calories which make it an optimal and healthy weight gaining solution. This smoothie serves as an ideal breakfast, on-the-go drink and workout solution.
