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?

Because Eating fresh cherries post-workout helps reduce the symptoms from muscle damage associated with intense physical training.

This is because cherries contain antioxidants called anthocyanins which help contain the oxidative stress and reduce inflammatory markers in the body.

One cup of cherries contains:

19 g carbs 0 g Fat 2 g Protein

Potassium: 7% daily value fiber: 3 grams Iron: 3% Daily Value

Muscle Building Smoothie: Ingredients - Spinach

Do you believe the little things take care of the big things?

If so, you'll be happy to find out that spinach will help fuel your body with one of the essential nutrients it needs.

Eating the mineral zinc, one of the nutrients found in spinach, is essential for normal development and function of the cells in your immune system.

One cup of spinach contains the following nutrients:

7 g carbs 0 g Fat 5 g Protein

Sodium: 11 mg Vitamin B6: 0.2 mg Iron: 6.6 mg Zinc: 2.5 mg

Muscle Building Smoothie: Ingredients - Peanut Butter

Peanuts for recovery?

Yes sir!

When you consume peanut butter it provides your body with arginine.

Arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide, which plays a vital role in the inflammatory process of the healing of wounds [check the research here].

Nitric oxide is also used as a pre workout supplement to help dilate the veins to increase recovery during your workout [check the research here].

One tbsp. of peanut butter contains the following nutrients:

3.45 g carbs 7.9 g Fat 3.85 g Protein

Sodium: 78 mg magnesium: 25 mg Zinc: 0.5 mg Arginine: 0.4 g

Muscle Building Smoothie: Ingredients - Vega Chocolate Protein

You're vegan? oh, so...

Where do you get your protein?

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

But don't worry I won't bog you down in this article with every single plant-based protein source.

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

And no, it's not needed everyday, but it sure makes it easy to:
  • Add texture and flavor to a smoothie
  • Give your body a quick bump in protein to repair muscle
So, finish strong after your workout with 20g of plant-based protein, 5g BCAAs, rich chocolate and probiotics, to help you recover, rebuild and reset for round two.

...and one scoop of vega protein contains the following nutrients:

6 g carbs 2.5 g Fat 20 g Protein

Sodium: 270 mg Dietary Fiber: 2 g iron: 25% daily requirement vitamin k: 80% daily requirement

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
