What I Love About This Blueberry Smoothie Recipe
This smoothie is a delicious way to begin my mornings. And I love that I don't have to wait for blueberry season. They're just as good when using frozen blueberries (which I always have stocked in my freezer). Additionally, they're easy to make with no preparation required. For an extra boost, consider adding flax seeds for protein and fiber!
Smoothie Ingredients
Here are those 3 ingredients you'll need:
- Banana: For natural sweetness and a creamy texture
- Blueberries: Frozen or fresh (although frozen eliminates any need for ice cubes)
- Yogurt: I prefer Greek yogurt for added protein
You will also need liquid to blend the smoothie. Most often, I use water for hydration, but if you prefer, dairy or nondairy milk works great too.
How to Make a Smoothie
The easiest way to make smoothies is with a blender, and it doesn't have to be high-powered or fancy. Mine isn't, and it's in use every day.
Can you make a smoothie without a blender?
Absolutely! Here are a few ways:
- Mash the fruit with a fork or potato masher and fold in the yogurt.
- Use a food processor much like a blender.
- A whisk can also work nicely to blend the ingredients together.
- Shaker bottles can also work beautifully.
Recipe FAQs
Yes - you can use fresh blueberries in the Banana Blueberry Smoothie, though if you use fresh instead of frozen, you may want to add a cup of ice so the texture remains chilled and thick.
For the Banana Blueberry Smoothie, you can use water, any dairy milk (e.g., 2 %), or non-dairy milk (such as almond, oat, or soy), depending on how creamy you want the smoothie to be.
Absolutely - for the Banana Blueberry Smoothie, you can boost nutrition by adding chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds, or a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder; just adjust the liquid amount if the smoothie becomes too thick.
Although they are wonderful to have, especially if you make smoothies often, you don't strictly need a high-powered blender for the Banana Blueberry Smoothie - a standard blender works fine, especially if you use frozen fruit or add a bit of ice.
You can blend ahead and then store the Banana Blueberry Smoothie in the fridge, but for the best texture and flavor, it's recommended to drink it fresh. If storing, consume within a few hours and stir before drinking.
