The Smoothie That Changed My Mind About Blueberries
I love smoothies—Mango Smoothies, Chocolate Protein Shakes—but blueberries? Not my thing. Then my kids, who love them, asked for one. And after testing a few versions, this recipe made me love blueberries!
This is now my favorite morning smoothie, especially in the summer. It’s so easy, even my kids make it! With just four ingredients, it’s simple but so creamy, sweet, and full of blueberry flavor. Give it a try and see why we love it!
Ingredients In Blueberry Banana Smoothie
This smoothie is so easy with only four ingredients!
- Almond Milk: I like vanilla almond milk for extra flavor, but any milk works.
- Frozen Blueberries: I love wild ones! Frozen berries make the smoothie thick without needing ice cubes.
- Frozen Banana: Freeze banana slices ahead of time for the best texture.
- Almond Butter: Helps you stay full longer. Use peanut butter or any nut butter you like.
Quick Tip
If you have extra bananas, slice and freeze them, even the really ripe ones. The riper they are, the sweeter they’ll make your smoothies!
How To Make A Blueberry Smoothie
- Freeze Banana: To make it more creamy, peel, slice, and freeze bananas overnight.
- Measure Ingredients: This helps get the right flavor and not make too much.
- Blend: With a strong blender (like Vitamix or Blendtec), blend until smooth.
Variations
Mix Ins And Ways To Change It Up
- Protein: For extra protein, add protein powder or a tbsp of hemp seeds.
- Spinach: Spinach mixes in well and won’t change the flavor.
- Switch Up Fruit: Try frozen cherries (Cherry Smoothie) or any frozen berries.
- Make It Chocolate: Try this Chocolate Blueberry Smoothie!
Tips For Success
I know, how hard can a smoothie be, right?! But these tips will make it even better!
- Use fresh, good ingredients—there are only four, so each makes a big difference.
- If it’s not sweet enough, use a ripe banana or a bit of honey or maple syrup if needed.

Calls for milk and then says its dairy free. Isn’t milk dairy?
Almond milk doesn’t have dairy
Can you make this ahead and save in freezer?
Unfortunately no, it will get gross
