Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh or frozen blueberries
Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
Milk (any kind — dairy or plant-based)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
Vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Directions

I start by adding the blueberries, yogurt, milk, and honey into a blender.
I blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
If I want a thicker smoothie, I add a few ice cubes and blend again.
I taste and adjust the sweetness — sometimes I add a little more honey if the berries are tart.
I pour it into a glass and serve immediately, topped with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds if I want a little crunch.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 small smoothies. The prep time takes just 5 minutes — quick, easy, and perfect for busy mornings.

Variations

Sometimes I add a banana for extra creaminess or a handful of spinach for a boost of greens. I’ve also made it with almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk depending on what I have on hand. For a protein-packed version, I add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter. A touch of lemon juice or zest also brightens the flavor beautifully.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover smoothie in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It may separate slightly, but I just shake or stir it before drinking. For a grab-and-go option, I pour the smoothie into reusable bottles and keep them chilled. I don’t reheat smoothies — they’re best enjoyed cold and fresh. Blueberry Smoothie
