Mastering the Art of Crafting Delicious Vegan Protein Shakes: 10 Recipes for Killer Plant-Based Protein

Are you ready to take your vegan protein shakes to the next level? With plant-based diets becoming more popular, many people are searching for tasty and nutritious ways to add vegan protein to their meals.

FUEL DMR provides delicious, high-quality plant-based protein that mixes easily into water or milk. It's fantastic on its own! We make one flavor - vanilla - because (a) adding flavors means more chemicals and ingredients that we don't want our users exposed to; and (b) it keeps our costs way down, so we can give you the world's finest meal replacement protein shake for the absolute lowest cost possible.

We make one flavor of DMR - Vanilla - because using real food is the best way to flavor a truly healthy protein shake!

Also - we'd rather you get various flavors using real food that provides real nutrition, instead of chemical flavorings.

Did you know that most chocolate flavoring in protein shakes adds a ton of sodium, and a high potential for added heavy metals? We'd rather you choose your cocoa and just add it. Same with banana, strawberry, blueberry, and other fruit flavors. Add real fruit and get all that real fruit benefit!

You want a chocolate shake? Add real cocoa! You want a strawberry shake? Add a cup of frozen strawberries! It'll make your shake nice and cold, in addition to making the most delicious strawberry shake you'll find in any plant-based protein shake!

This way, you get to control what goes into your shake recipes...and which flavors you have each week. But, of course...you have to know how to do it right!

In this post, we'll introduce you to ten delicious vegan shake recipes that are not only simple to make but also packed with:

• Flavor

• protein

• prebiotics

• probiotics and

• our patented digestive enzyme blend that'll increase your protein uptake (what your system actually absorbs) by more than 40%.

All for just 200 calories every 2 scoops of DMR...delivering 28 grams of protein. THAT'S a vegan shake that'll feed your soul, as well as your body.

The Basics of Vegan Protein Shakes

Before we get into the recipes, let's discuss what makes a shake truly exceptional. A well-rounded vegan protein shake includes a mix of plant-based protein (to ensure you get complete protein), healthy fats (to satiate you and keep you fuller, longer), fiber (to do all the magical things fiber does), and delightful flavor (so you'll actually use the shakes, instead of leaving them in the back of your cupboard).

Pro Hack: Add 50 mg of creatine powder to any of these shakes. It's cheap, flavorless and has zero impact on smoothness of your shake. It delivers a ton of metabolic and cognitive benefits.

Use a blender with the power of a Vitamix to get fully-blended fruits and veggies - sans "chunks."

Start with one or two scoops of FUEL DMR as your base - depending on your protein needs for the meal. One scoop of DMR is 14 grams of protein and 100 calories. Two scoops is 28 grams of protein and 200 calories. Can't go wrong either way!

You can enhance your shake by adding fruits, vegetables, greens, nut butters, seeds, and spices. For instance, incorporating a tablespoon of psyllium husk (lower calories, no fat) or chia seeds (higher calories, good healthy fat) can boost your shake's fiber content (already high in DMR, at 4g/scoop) by another 4 grams.

With 50 billion CFUs (colony-forming units) of live, active probiotic cultures in 2 scoops of DMR, plus our patented digestive enzyme blend, you've got a super-easy, affordable, delicious shake that'll keep your digestion running like a well-oiled machine.

There are SO many ways to make your shakes complete nutritional power-houses. The beauty of shake-making lies in the combinations you can create to match your taste and nutritional goals.
