Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 10.5 oz (2 cups) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 banana, fresh or frozen

Dairy & Alternatives

  • 5.2 oz (1/2 cup) plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice (dairy or dairy-free)

Nut Butter & Flavoring

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or nut/seed butter of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and adjust quantities according to your preference for thickness and flavor intensity, such as adding more blueberries if desired.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Start by pouring in the almond milk, then chop the banana into smaller pieces and add to the blender. Next, add the yogurt, peanut butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Add Blueberries: Finish by adding the blueberries on top of other ingredients to ensure thorough blending.
  4. Blend: Blend all ingredients until smooth and reach your desired consistency, whether thick or more liquid.
  5. Serve: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately. Use a spoon for a thicker smoothie or a straw for a thinner texture. Optionally, top with nut butter, coconut chips, almonds, or fresh blueberries.
  6. Make Ahead and Storage: For make-ahead, blend as usual and pour into airtight containers or freezer bags. Freeze for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge or reblend with a splash of liquid before serving. Note that thawed smoothies may be slightly diluted.

Notes

  • You can customize the nut butter and milk types to suit dietary preferences or allergies.
  • Using frozen fruit makes the smoothie chilled and thick without needing ice.
  • Adjust vanilla extract according to taste or omit for a more natural fruit flavor.
  • For vegan or dairy-free options, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Freeze leftovers in single-serve portions for convenient future smoothies.
