As a Registered Dietitian, I am always looking for delicious and nutritious ways to incorporate more plant-based protein AND veggies into my diet, which is why I love this Mango Lime Tropical Smoothie!

Not only is it bursting with fresh mango and lime flavor, but it’s also high in protein with a whopping 18 grams of protein per serving-without using any protein powder!

Plus, it’s also a great source of healthy fats and fiber from the chia seeds and even has veggies from the spinach (but I promise, you can’t even taste it!).

Oh, and did I mention that just like many of my other Dietitian-approved breakfast recipes it comes together in like, 5 minutes?!

If you love high protein vegan smoothie recipes but find that they don’t typically leave you feeling full for very long, try pairing this smoothie with my Lemon Coconut Chia Pudding for an extra boost that’s also super refreshing!

What Makes This Smoothie High in Protein

This vegan tropical smoothie gets most of its protein from the soy milk and chia seeds, with the soy milk alone packing 11 grams of protein fro one and a half cups!

If you want to boost the protein even more, I’ve also tested using hemp seeds in this smoothie instead of chia seeds, which increases the protein in this smoothie to an even 20 grams!

With or Without Protein Powder!

Now, even though I say that we don’t use protein powder in this recipe, you can’t totally make this tropical smoothie with protein powder if you want to boost the protein even more! I’ve tested both with and without, and they’re both delicious.

We also use protein powder in my 10 Minute No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars, and I swear it’s totally undetectable in them, too!
