This blueberry smoothie is a nutritious, healthy, cool smoothie with a thick, creamy, frosty texture and sweet berry flavor; it is like a morning ice cream treat. It’s easy to prepare in the blender, and it keeps me full till noon. 

All kinds of berries – and my favorite blueberries – along with bananas are some of the most delicious and healthy fruits to add to a smoothie. You can use fresh or frozen fruits. 

This delicious blueberry smoothie with Banana tastes intensely fruity, refreshing, and satisfying.

How to make the Blueberry Smoothie

Ingredients

Fresh or frozen Blueberries – you can use frozen berries to make this smoothie thicker, and there is no need to add any ice. 

Fresh or frozen Banana – makes this smoothie thick and creamy and adds natural sweetness.

Plain Greek Yogurt – Give a protein boost and makes the smoothie extra satisfying. Opt for low-fat yogurt.

Milk – helps us reach the ideal consistency. You can use any milk you prefer or have on hand. 

To make this blueberry smoothie vegan, use non-dairy milk and non-dairy yogurt. 

Optional add-ins

Protein Powder – Need an extra protein boost? Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

Sweetener – If you like a sweeter smoothie, you can add a teaspoon or two of honey and pure maple syrup. If you’re trying to keep your sugar consumption low, you can always use a sugar alternative (stevia or monk fruit) to sweeten your smoothie.

Spinach – You can turn this into a blueberry banana spinach smoothie by adding a handful of spinach to the blender. The spinach will alter the color of the smoothie a bit but not the taste.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. 

Freeze smoothies for up to 3 months by storing them in an airtight freezer-safe storage container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

    Great smoothie recipe! I often make a variation of this smoothie with oatmeal instead of yogurt or with both and still delicious. I’m an endurance athlete and a breakfast such as this will keep me going for many hours.
