NUtrition facts 

this muscle building vegan smoothie is high in calories, packed with nutrients, and is primed to replenish muscle post-workout.

why's this vegan smoothie high in calories?

glad you asked.

you see, The main issue people have when starting a vegan diet is they don't eat enough calories.

This goes for both women and men. 

the most likely reason for this is because plant-based food is packed with nutrients and fiber which make you "feel full" sooner...which is great.

but, what's not so great, however, is vegan food is often low-in calories.

which means...

you guessed it, you can easily "under-eat."

but you won't have that problem with this mass gainer vegan smoothie because this smoothie is high in calories to satisfy your muscle building needs.

now, with that out of the way, let's break down each ingredient in this vegan smoothie recipe.

muscle building smoothie: ingredients: - CHerries

now, the first ingredient in this muscle building smoothie are cherries.

why cherries?

where do you get your protein?

and no doubt, it's a legitimate question from the outside looking in on a vegan lifestyle.

but I will let you know that a convenient way to add extra protein on the fly is with plant based protein powder.

• add texture and flavor to a smoothie
• give your body a quick bump in protein to repair muscle

muscle building smoothie: INgredients - Plant-Based Milk

For this plant-based muscle building smoothie recipe i went with almond milk because it's smooth and doesn't have a "negative taste" like other non-dairy milk options.

full disclosure, I naturally prefer cashew milk, because it's far creamier and I prefer thicker smoothies that are high in calories.

But, of course, You can easily substitute  any other plant-based milk you desire.

and because I like my smoothie thick, I only add 1 cup, that way I get to TASTE the calories.

if that's not for you, feel free to add more or less depending on your smoothie consistency likes.

one cup of almond milk contains the following nutrients:

13 g carbs 2.5 g Fat 1 g Protein

Sodium: 170 mg potassium: 180 mg  VItamin A: 150% daily requirement
