This blueberry smoothie has an amazing combination of flavors coming through with the taste of blueberries followed by fresh orange and then hints of maple and vanilla. It only takes a few minutes from blender to glass.
If you’re feeling fancy, grab a couple of mint leaves and fresh blueberries for a garnish. I’ve also made a blackberry smoothie and strawberry blueberry smoothie that you might like!
🫐Ingredients
- plain Greek yogurt – I like to go for the full 10% M.F. creamy Greek yogurt but feel free to choose low fat.
- maple syrup – Just to add a touch of sweetness and a hint of maple flavor.
- vanilla extract – Pure or artificial work fine.
- navel orange – The fresh orange flavor works very well with the blueberries and vanilla. It reminds me of having a blueberry-flavored Orange Julius.
- frozen blueberries – If you can find frozen, wild blueberries, those are a great choice but regular blueberries work as well.
- bananas – Sliced and frozen.
Note: This is optional, but if you would like to thin it out, try adding some milk, water or almond milk.
🥣How to Make a Blueberry Smoothie
Step 1. Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Step 2. Purée until smooth.
Tip: Like most thick smoothies, you may need to stop the blender and scrape the sides down a couple of times to get it to a nice and smooth consistency.
Step 3. Transfer to a glass. Serve garnished with some fresh blueberries and mint, if desired.
❓Recipe FAQs
Blueberries go nicely with blackberries, cherries, bananas, apples and avocados to name a few.
Absolutely, you can blend blueberries, whether they are fresh or frozen.
While blended blueberries do lose a small amount of nutrients due to quicker oxidation, the amount is very minimal and doesn’t apply to fiber.
