Directions

I add the blueberries, banana, milk, and any optional ingredients to a blender.

Variations

I swap banana for avocado or mango for a creamy base without the banana flavor.
I add spinach or kale for a green smoothie boost—blueberries mask the flavor well.
I toss in protein powder or nut butter to make it more filling.
I use coconut milk for a tropical twist and extra creaminess.
I sprinkle granola or hemp seeds on top and eat it as a smoothie bowl.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed right after blending. If I need to store it, I keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar or bottle. I shake or stir it before drinking, as it may separate slightly over time.

There’s no reheating needed—this smoothie is meant to be cold and refreshing. Blueberry Smoothie without Yogurt

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Yes, I just add a few ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie if I’m not using frozen fruit.

What milk works best?

I usually go with almond milk for a light texture, but oat milk makes it creamier. Coconut milk adds a hint of richness.

How do I make it thicker?

I use frozen fruit, add chia seeds, or reduce the amount of liquid. Letting it sit for a few minutes after blending also helps it thicken.

Can I make this smoothie without banana?

Absolutely. I use half an avocado, a handful of mango, or a scoop of oats to keep it creamy without banana.

Is this smoothie good for kids?

Yes, it’s naturally sweet and full of healthy ingredients. I skip any added sweeteners and let the fruit do all the work.
