Today I’m back with another blog post and this time I’m chatting about my favourite easy to digest, high protein smoothie recipes. This post is perfectly timed with lots of digestive awareness happening at the moment: with IBS Awareness and Bowel Cancer awareness month in April and World IBD Day next month. So if you’re looking for high protein smoothies to eat at breakfast or after a workout, this is the post for you!
I’ve also focused on dairy-free high protein smoothie recipes as I personally think many gluten and dairy free recipes don’t talk about the importance of protein.
You might think about protein in terms of gym-goers; but if you have a digestive condition, then protein is more important than ever: it gives us energy, can help with gut repair, can keep our blood sugar stable and help cope with stress. If you’re looking to start your days with a smoothie, why not try these six easy to digest, high protein smoothies? Make sure you read to the end of the giveaway as I’ll be giving away my favourite vegan protein mix Purition!
1.Turmeric Protein Smoothie
My turmeric protein smoothie is still one of my favourite things to make each morning. It combines yummy turmeric with avocado and nut butter.
Make it here
2. Digestive Support Smoothie
Papaya is amazing for your digestion-and now summer is around the corner; this digestion support smoothie is one of my favourites to make.
Make it here.
3. PBJ Smoothie
Who loved peanut butter and jam growing up? Well, why not try the yummy smoothie version of it by Sneaky Veg –works as a healthy dessert too!
Make it here.
4.Banana, Peanut and Mint Green Smoothie
Mint is fab for your digestion- and by blending the spinach, it makes it much easier for your gut to digest (whilst helping with your iron levels) Make this recipe by Charlotte’s Lively Kitchen here.
5.Pineapple, Mango, Coconut and Cashew Nut Smoothie
A taste of summer by Easy Peasy Foodie. Cashew nuts are a great alternative to peanuts-and pack a punch with healthy fats and protein. The pineapples transport us to summertime!

I love The Intolerant Gourmand’s blog. This recipe uses linseed for protein and plenty of frozen fruit.
Make it here.
As you all know, I’m a freelance writer, so I’ve recently written this piece for Purition (the dairy-free protein brand I’m currently using) called 5 ways to start your day right with IBS for IBS Awareness Month. I know lots of you who read my blog have IBS; so it’s a useful read that explains in more detail why smoothies can be really helpful for your digestion.
They’ve very kindly offered to give away a discovery box: a six-day supply of their dairy-free protein powders (so you can try all of these recipes and up the protein in them even further by using Purition’s hemp protein powder!). To be in with a chance to win, enter below!
