    Vegan high protein salted caramel pretzel oatmeal cookie smoothie

    Looks and tastes like indulgence, but this salted caramel pretzel oatmeal cookie smoothie is like an undercover agent for healthy. Secretly packed with protein, you'll be satisfied and full!

    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.

    I love when I create food that looks mouthwateringly decadent but is actually filled with healthy parts. 3 powerhouse ingredients that stack up to the traditional cholesterol filled breakfast foods, plus the added benefit of no refined sugar. But don't worry, no bananas were harmed in the making of this smoothie.

    When Silk came asking me to be part of a recipe creation challenge, I practically jumped out of my seat, raised my hand and yelled "Pick me! Pick me!" Smoothie hacks, all food hacks really, are one of my favorite areas of this world we call blogging. This is so up my ally. And of course I already had an idea in my brain...

    Vegan Smoothie Challenge Nailed

    World, meet the vegan salted caramel pretzel oatmeal cookie smoothie. Smoothie meet the world. And scream about how you have HIDDEN protein all inside your amazing self. This baby will stop anyone in their tracks, especially those nosy types that keep worrying about your protein amount. *insert eye roll*

    No powders, no bananas, all whole foods blended together to get this thick, creamy, cookie in your mouth kinda smoothie. And it all starts with my absolute favorite, Silk cashew milk, unsweetened of course!

    PS- #3 likes his Silk too...

    So what's the secret you ask? Well, I have three little hacks that not only pack in protein, but contribute to the crazy creamy delicious flavor. In one serving, these guys give you 14 grams of protein!

    Protein powerhouses in this salted caramel oatmeal cookie delight:

    • White beans, yep you heard it right!
    • Oatmeal, gluten free if needed.
    • Cashews, because duh! Cashews are life.

    So no excuses here! Grab your nearest blender, pack it up with protein and drool worthy ingredients, and start blending your way toward this flavor bomb of a smoothie. And don't forget to sign up for Silk's email list for your very own coupon to use with all things Silk! Now grab a bib because it's about to get real.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 ½ cups Silk unsweetened cashew milk
    • ½ cup oats (gluten free if needed)
    • ½ cup cooked white beans , drained and rinsed
    • ½ cup raw cashews
    • 8 Medjool dates (can add more depending on desired sweetness)
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder (or the seeds from vanilla beans)
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • 2 cups ice

    Optional Toppings:

    • Dairy free whipped cream
    • Crushed pretzel pieces
    • Caramel Sauce (I use the one from this recipe, you can omit the cinnamon)
    • sea salt

    Instructions
     

    • Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender in the order listed and blend until smooth.
    • Pour into a glass and top with optional toppings (all of them are highly recommended), dig in. The messier the better.

    Notes

    • If you are not using a high speed blender, you can grind the dry cashews into a fine powder using a coffee grinder. You can also soak them overnight or boiling them for 30 minutes.
    • Nutrition info does not include optional toppings.

        Hi Brenda! SO sorry, I have a new recipe card plugin and when I transferred everything over it did some stuff wrong (like not putting links to other recipes). It's all fixed now! Thank you for letting me know. I am slowly checking them all.

      Wow! This certainly looks so yummy. Though the beans came as a surprise. I have never thought that it can be added to a smoothie. Will try this once I have all the ingredients available. Thank you for sharing.

      SO I know that I already commented, but we made this smoothie this am and it was delicious! I loved that it was something different from what we usually make and when my hubby looked at me and said it was really good, I had to give the credit to you! 🙂 . Loved it, even without the whip (although I did use my own homemade caramel drizzle).

      Oats and cashews are so good in smoothies, haven't tried beans yet! But I'm totally drooling over the salted caramel cookie and pretzel part! Well, hell yes to all of that! Sounds so scrumptious and creamy!

        You know me and my tendency to gag on beans in desserts. This had no hint. Or they wouldn't be in there. LOL!
