Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shakes

Easy plant-based protein shakes combining sweet orange, creamy almond, and cozy spices with a warm inviting flavor to fuel your morning!

Remember in my last post when I warned you that a lot of orange things were headed your way?

Well, they’re here, and this recipe is quite literally, orange!

Although it’s almost “officially” fall, it’s been up to almost 80 every day here in Virginia, so I’m still craving shakes and smoothies to start my days.

The mixture of orange, almond butter, and subtle spice creates a wonderfully warm flavor oven though this recipe is of course, cold.

These Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shakes are the perfect easy breakfast or snack that taste like a creamsicle spiced up for fall.

Every morning growing up after hobbling down the stairs in my pink robe with a dazed expression on my face and my “crazy” hair, I poured a glass of orange juice.

Did anyone else make a habit of this, too?

My family and I used to say, between sips of OJ, that a day without orange juice was a day without sunshine.

I loved gulping down that golden orange liquid to begin the day on a sweet note.

Unless of course, the orange juice had pulp in it.

Detecting the texture of orange chunks while swallowing has always made me want to gag.

Who else is unabashedly team no pulp?

I’ve since gotten away from juices and tend more towards whole fruit consumption first thing in the morning because my body does better with lower sugar contents to avoid blood sugar crashes.

Morning scenes still mirror the old days though, only now I stumble down the stairs in a neutral robe (graduated colors from pink to black because #adulting) and pour myself a Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shake.
