9 Recipes for Delicious Almond Milk Smoothies (2024)

Last updated: August 31, 2023

Nine recipes for delicious almond milk smoothies, packed with lots of nutrients and different flavors, that you can drink any time of day.

When adding liquids to smoothies, I often opt for almond milk, coconut milk, or plain water. Sometimes, I even add green tea in smoothies, ideally in the morning as a coffee replacement.

I’ve been focussing on (unsweetened) almond milk lately, as it has fewer calories than dairy milk and coconut milk, but it still makes my smoothies creamy and tasty. Plus, with almond milk, my smoothies are lighter while still bringing out the flavors of the other ingredients better.

In this article, I am going to share nine delicious almond milk smoothie recipes that I hope you will enjoy as much as I have when trying them out.

9 Smoothies With Almond Milk

In no particular order, here are nine tasty smoothies with almond milk. Try some of them yourself, and feel free to mix the ingredients to suit your taste preferences.

1. Dairy Free Mango Smoothie

9 Recipes for Delicious Almond Milk Smoothies (1)

Just writing about this mango smoothie alone makes me want to make another one right now. I like this smoothie recipe because it is simple yet packed with nutrients, and offers all the right flavors.

This super delicious smoothie recipe contains one cup of unsweetened almond milk, which carries the flavors of the sweet fruits very well. The flax and chia seeds add extra nutrients that complement the fruits nicely.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup plain dairy free yogurt
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 tsp ground flax
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

2. Glowing Green Smoothie

The healthiest of smoothies are green smoothies, or so they say. I love this smoothie recipe because it has ingredients like avocado and spinach balanced with sweet and zesty pineapple.

Using almond milk for this recipe instead of other creamier liquids makes so much sense since the avocado provides more than enough richness and creaminess.

After drinking a serving of this glowing green smoothie, you will know and feel that you just had something filling and nutritious.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks frozen
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

3. Peach Spinach Smoothie With Almond Milk

This super tasty peach spinach smoothie works best during the warmer summer months, for me at least. Spinach is one of my favorite greens to add to my smoothies because it blends well with fruits and other vegetables.

Peaches and nectarines are also my favorite fruits to eat in summer because of their unique texture and refreshing flavors. So if I can combine spinach and peaches in one smoothie, with almond milk as the base liquid, I’m sold!

I personally love drinking this smoothie first thing in the morning. The peaches and banana mix well with the spinach, and the overall taste is refreshing and energizing.

The small teaspoon of honey adds a bit of sweetness that is so nice when drinking this as a breakfast replacement, especially with the small handful of almonds thrown in.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 large cup peach slices (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 small banana
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 small handful of almonds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)

4. Creamy Carrot Cake Smoothie

This smoothie recipe intrigued me when I first saw it, as I wasn’t so sure if I read it right. But as I looked closely at the ingredients, I was inspired to try it.

The flavor combos are just what you would expect from a classic carrot cake but without baking. It is practically a liquid cake, and I loved how it turned out.

I find that this unique smoothie is perfect as breakfast to start your day right, or otherwise, it can work as a filling mid-afternoon snack.

The flavor combination in this smoothie is phenomenal. Strawberry and pineapple work well together, with just the right balance of sweetness and zest.

6. Dragon Fruit Blueberry Smoothie

Dragon fruit is my favorite tropical fruit, and if I do happen to find it in the grocery store, I make sure I buy a few.

In this particular dragon fruit smoothie recipe, I am mixing blueberries, bananas, and dragon fruit into one ridiculously delicious drink.

The extra ginger and mint make this almond milk smoothie even better, with so many different flavors that work so well together. I’m not too fond of the frozen dragon fruit packs, but it’s a good alternative if you can’t find fresh dragon fruit.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole dragon fruit (fresh)
  • 1 small cup blueberries
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

7. Berry Orange Smoothie With Almond Milk

Somehow, this smoothie reminds me of the start of Fall, perhaps because it’s meant to boost your immunity.

The unique mix of strawberries, cranberries, and orange juice works surprisingly well and will give you a ton of vitamin C when you most need it.

This recipe also includes one banana, a bit of lemon juice, a teaspoon of honey, and 4 oz worth of unsweetened almond milk. It’s a great mix that tastes fantastic.

8. Blueberry Almond Milk Smoothie

This recipe is packed with different flavors, with a big emphasis on almonds. And since I’m a huge fan of almonds, this smoothie recipe is one I had to try.

The antioxidants from blueberries combined with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats from almonds make this smoothie a great way to start my day.

The sweetness of the berries, the solidness of the almonds, and the creaminess of the almond milk work very well together. And when you add the almond butter, the maple syrup, and the protein powder, you will have a nice, nutritious meal.

This list of almond milk smoothie recipes wouldn’t be complete without a chocolate smoothie. As you may already know, I do love chocolate smoothies, especially in the morning.

Chocolate and banana will always be one of my favorite flavor combinations. Unsweetened cocoa powder, which is what this recipe calls for, is packed with minerals and antioxidants.

Overall, this smoothie drink is so decadent that you will almost forget that it is also nutritious and good for you, especially with all the extra ingredients added in.
