Blueberry Protein Shake FAQs

Can frozen blueberries be used?

Yes! The vegan shake will automatically be chilled and thicker with frozen blueberries or a frozen banana. There's a good chance it will be deeper in color, too.

Is this shake sweet?

The combination of the bananas with the blueberries and a hint of maple syrup gives it the perfect level of sweetness. But if it isn't sweet enough for you, add more maple syrup and blend again.

Can I use ice cubes in this shake?

Yes, but I would blend them with the other ingredients. You can add a few ice cubes while blending if you'd like it cold. This is a great option when blueberries are in season.

What is the best vegan protein powder?

There are a lot of excellent options! I like using a powder with cleaner ingredients, but it still tastes great. I love this Vega Vanilla Protein Powder.
