As such, a lot of the recipes in this guide contain ingredients with protein as the main nutrient.<\/p>\n<h2>How to make a smoothie<\/h2>\n<p>Making a smoothie is probably one of the most simplest things in the world &ndash; you just put all the ingredients in a blender and mix, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well it all comes down to the type of blender that you have and how smooth you like your smoothies.<\/p>\n<p>I personally like my smoothies to be lovely and smooth with no large chunks, so I like to really blend my smoothies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitamix.com\/us\/en_us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vitamix blender<\/a> when I want my smoothies to be silky smooth. This blender is great for mixing frozen ingredients like berries and bananas, so it&rsquo;s great for smoothie recipes with frozen fruit.<\/li>\n<li>I also have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutribullet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nutribullet<\/a> for when I want to quickly blitz some ingredients. A Nutribullet is great for smoothie recipes with &lsquo;soft&rsquo; ingredients &ndash; basically anything that isn&rsquo;t frozen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have a different blender at home then that is completely fine. Play around with the settings on your blender to find out the best method for you.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Healthy smoothie recipes for runners Q&amp;A<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I swap some of the ingredients in the recipes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Yes! The ingredients in this guide are can be interchanged if you have dietary requirements.<\/p>\n<p>I have also included some optional ingredients in some of the smoothie recipes, such as peanut butter and almond butter, should you wish to include these.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Are the smoothie recipes vegan friendly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: If you&rsquo;re vegan, you can choose to swap out some of the ingredients to make them vegan friendly.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can substitute cow&rsquo;s milk for a plant-based milk of your choice.<\/p>\n<p>My personal preference is almond or oat milk. You can also swap out the honey for maple syrup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I add protein powder to any of the smoothie recipes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Yes! Many of these recipes are versatile &ndash; allowing you to add a protein powder of your choice to the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/vegan-recipes-for-runners\/\">The best vegan cookbooks for runners<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4653 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-683x1024.png\" alt=\"healthy smoothie recipes for runners\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4653 size-large lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-683x1024.png.webp\" alt=\"healthy smoothie recipes for runners\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-683x1024.png.webp 683w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-200x300.png.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18-768x1152.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18.png.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.runwithcaroline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/18.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/p>\n<h2>6 healthy smoothie recipes for runners<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">#1 Peanut butter, banana and chocolate smoothie recipe<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">What could be better?
