The Best Blueberry Smoothie Recipe
I love smoothies—Mango Smoothies, Chocolate Protein Shakes—but blueberries? Not my thing until my kids, who love them, asked for one. After trying different things, this recipe made me love blueberries!
Now, it’s my favorite morning smoothie, especially in summer. It’s so easy my kids make it themselves! With just four ingredients, it’s simple but incredibly creamy, sweet, and full of blueberry flavor. Try it, and you’ll see why we love it!
Ingredients In Blueberry Banana Smoothie
This smoothie truly couldn’t be easier with only 4-ingredients!
- Almond Milk: I like vanilla almond milk for extra flavor, but any milk works.
- Frozen Blueberries: I love wild ones! Frozen berries thicken the smoothie without needing ice.
- Frozen Banana: Freeze banana slices overnight for the best feel.
- Almond Butter: Keeps you full longer. Use peanut butter or any nut butter you like.
How To Make A Blueberry Smoothie
- Freeze Banana: For a creamy feel, peel, slice, and freeze bananas overnight.
- Measure: Measuring ingredients helps get the right flavor and not make too much.
- Blend: With a strong blender (Vitamix® or Blendtec®), blend everything until smooth.
Variations
Mix Ins And Ways To Change It Up
- Protein Powder: For extra protein, add protein powder or a tbsp of hemp seeds.
- Spinach: Spinach mixes in easily and doesn’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, 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?
