Easy Blueberry Smoothie
- PREP
Our blueberry smoothie is extra creamy and fruity. Depending on how ripe or sweet your fruit is, you may need to add a little extra honey, so add based on your taste. There are many additions you can make here so check the article for our suggestions. I prefer using frozen blueberries over fresh when making smoothies since they blend into a creamier smoothie. That said, feel free to use fresh berries!
You Will Need
Basic Smoothie
1 ¼ cup blueberries, preferably frozen
1 medium ripe banana or use 1 cup frozen banana slices
Half of a medium orange, peeled and quartered
3/4 cup to 1 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
Optional Ingredients
1 tablespoon almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon hemp seeds
1 teaspoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
Directions
Add the blueberries, banana, orange and 3/4 cup of the milk to a blender. If you plan to add any, add optional ingredients to the blender.
Turn blender on and blend until creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- How to Freeze or Make Ahead: This recipe makes one smoothie or two kid-size smoothies. Enjoy now, or save for later. To save the smoothie for later, pour each serving into a food-safe resealable plastic bag or container and freeze. Then, about an hour before needing the smoothie, take out from freezer.
- Nutrition facts: The nutrition facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA database to calculate approximate values. Information is provided for the basic smoothie made with unsweetened soy milk.
