The Dairy-Free Smoothie Recipes You Need In Your Life

If you’re looking for a quick, healthy and filling breakfast, you can never go wrong with a tasty smoothie. If made with wholesome and nutritious ingredients, a smoothie can be a great way to get your daily intake of superfoods, protein and healthy fats. There are hundreds of yoghurt based or whey protein pumped smoothie recipes which, while they may be delicious, unfortunately are not suitable for the dairy-free community. But who said that those of us who live a dairy-free life have to stick to a measly portion of fruit for breakfast and boycott smoothies altogether? Well, thanks to the birth of plant-based milk and yoghurts, smoothies can now be protein packed while also remaining dairy-free. So no more upset stomachs! Here are a few of our favourite healthy dairy-free smoothie recipes that are quick and easy to make while remaining full of sweet, sweet flavour.

Coco-berry

If you love coconut, this is the smoothie for you. Both creamy and deliciously sweet, this smoothie tastes more like a tasty treat than a breakfast smoothie. To make this breakfast staple, simply blitz together 1 frozen banana, a handful of frozen strawberries, a squirt of raw honey, 250ml of coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of coconut yoghurt (makes it extra creamy!) in a food processor or electric mixer until smooth. Test the consistency and add a splash more milk if you want it a bit runnier. Pour into a glass and sprinkle a few chia seeds on top for an extra dose of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Nutty Banana

This almond banana shake is perfect for those of you that love something sweet with a nutty edge. Full of natural sweeteners and packed full of nutrients, this smoothie is the perfect breakfast to kick-start your day.
