These vanilla Shakeology recipes go far beyond the traditional "half-a-banana-and-blend". Read on to turn your nutritional supplement into a rich, smoothie treat or a baked dessert! PS - they can all be made with vanilla protein powder, too!
A lot of my clients and readers use Shakeology as a daily supplement to optimize their nutrition. Unlike straight up protein powder, it offers a host of superfoods that can help to curb cravings and keep you fuller between meals. Depending on how you use it, it can also become a meal in itself.
In this post I’ll cover some of my favorite traditional smoothie recipes, but also include some ideas for baking Shakeology into a healthy treat you can enjoy as a dessert!
What can you mix with Shakeology?
Pretty much anything! Below are just a few ways I love to dress up a basic Shakeology smoothie. These are all super simple and can be made with the vegan or whey-based product.
Do you need a blender for these recipes?
Yes, you do. If you want to drink Shakeology with just water or milk you can do that without a blender, but the recipes below require blending.

Vanilla Shakeology Smoothie Bowl Recipe
To add extra protein and creaminess to any of the recipes above, I recommend adding a single serving container of Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt. This not only increases the protein by 19 grams with less than 100 additional calories, it also turns your smoothie shake into a smoothie bowl!
Feel free to season your smoothie bowl anyway you like! I’m a fan of the following healthy toppings:
- Crushed nuts
- Lily’s No Added Sugar chocolate chips
- Chia seeds
- Fresh Raspberries or blueberries
- Sliced strawberries
- Sliced banana
- Unsweetened coconut
- Sunflower seeds
