I like eating chalk! – Said No One Ever

Protein can elevate a smoothie from a snack to a complete meal. But don’t be swift to reach for the typical powders or whatever’s trending; there’s plenty of protein to choose from in more raw, natural plant-based forms. One of the best parts, they taste good too! Here’s our main protein packed ingredients for a delicious Protein Smoothie Without Powder.

Acai
Yup, the acai berry isn’t just full of antioxidants, phytonutrients, and essential amino acids, it also holds a similar protein profile to that of an organic egg. This protein helps build, repair, and protect your muscle tissue.

Hemp Seeds
With 7 grams in just 2 Tablespoons, raw hemp seeds and heart are a good to for protein. We enjoy them as a topping on our smoothies and bowls because of their taste and texture, though they are just as nutritious blended in.
