Description
A blueberry smoothie without yogurt that’s creamy, refreshing, dairy‑free, and perfect for breakfast, a snack, or post‑workout fuel. It’s fruit‑forward, simple to make, and easily customizable.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 ripe banana (for natural sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup plant‑based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed (optional, for fiber and thickness)
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- ½ cup ice cubes (optional, if using fresh fruit)
Instructions
- Add blueberries, banana, plant‑based milk, and any optional ingredients to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness — add more milk to thin or ice to thicken.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while it’s fresh and cold.
Notes
- Substitute banana with avocado or mango for a different creamy base without banana flavor.
- Add spinach or kale for a green smoothie boost — blueberries mask the flavor well.
- Include protein powder or nut butter to make it more filling.
- Use coconut milk for extra creaminess and a tropical twist.
- Turn it into a smoothie bowl by adding granola or hemp seeds on top.
