Smoothie Recipes For Gut Health, Energy, Recovery, And Beauty

Kroma’s new-and-improved Plant-Based Proteins make the perfect base for these creations.

Smoothies are a quick and delicious way to pack in the nutrition. And the options for customization are endless: simply choose your favorite fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, superfoods, and, of course, protein powder.

We recently reformulated our bestselling Plant-Based Proteins to make them work even harder for you. Now with 20 grams of high-quality plant protein from three whole-food sources, these superfood shakes are boosted with potent functional ingredients like adaptogenic Reishi, Cordyceps, and Maca; digestive enzymes, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and coconut. Choose from Vanilla Cinnamon or Cacao Banana…or get both and mix up your routine according to your cravings.

With one of Kroma’s Plant-Based Proteins as your base, you can unleash your creativity and concoct a smoothie that hits all the right flavor notes. To get you started, we created these four stellar smoothie recipes, each designed to support a specific health goal: thriving gut health, boundless energy, efficient recovery, and ageless skin radiance.

How To Make The Perfect Superfood Smoothie

To make all of these smoothies, simply combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, adding additional liquid as needed to achieve the perfect consistency.

Serve your smoothies in a glass, or, for a juice bar experience at home, in a bowl that’s been chilled in the freezer. Top with your favorite add-ins, like fresh fruit, shredded coconut, honey, OMG Cookie Butter, cacao nibs, bee pollen, and Super Granola.
