So, here's what you need to make this shake:

- 1 cup of kale

- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 scoop of Organic Greens 365
- A sprinkle of dark chocolate sea salt
- 1 cup of oat milk
While you're at it, you can also try other plant-based protein shakes on other days to vary the flavors.
Ingredient Substitutions And Suggestions
See, this plant-based protein shake is incredibly tasty! But you can always tweak some ingredients here and there to make it your own. For example, you can opt for other plant protein powders if you're not keen on brown rice protein. Some great vegan protein powder options are pea protein, soy protein, and hemp protein.
The same principle applies to the oat milk, although it goes really well with the recipe. You can opt for soy milk or almond milk if you like. You can even go with coconut milk if that fits your tastes better.
Now, for the actual plant contents of the drink, feel free to add any organic fruit of your choice. But we do suggest monk fruit extract, to start. If you want more protein, you can also add chia seeds instead of more plant-based protein powders. Chia seeds will boost your protein intake per serving.
As for the sweetness level, the coconut sugar in the original recipe will suffice. You can add another tablespoon if you want something sweeter. You can also switch it up with organic cane sugar if you have that on hand. You want to limit artificial sweeteners to avoid added sugars. This will help you make the most out of your plant-based drink.

When you have all your ingredients out, put them in the blender. You want to keep blending until you reach your desired consistency. If ever you want something thinner, you can add more milk, but only do it bit by bit.
Step 3: Serve And Enjoy!
The last step is just pouring the blended drink into your favorite container or glass. Then, you want to sprinkle some dark chocolate sea salt on top.
