How to Make a Blueberry Smoothie

This blueberry smoothie recipe starts with 9 healthy ingredients:

Ingredients

Blueberries, of course! Use frozen berries to make this smoothie thick and frosty.
Frozen raspberries – The more berries, the merrier, right? The raspberries add a nice tartness to this blueberry smoothie.
Frozen cauliflower – Trust me, you won’t taste it! It gives the smoothie an extra boost of antioxidants and fiber. It helps perfect the creamy texture too.
Frozen banana – Like the cauliflower, the banana makes this smoothie super creamy.
Almond milk – Use store-bought, or make your own! If you don’t keep almond milk on hand, feel free to substitute your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk. Water works too!
Almond butter – It adds protein and healthy fats.
Maple syrup – For sweetness. Honey would also work.
Fresh lemon juice – Its bright flavor balances the sweetness from the fruit and maple.
Fresh ginger – Optional, but delicious. Blend it into the smoothie for a refreshing kick.

Find the complete recipe with measurements below.

Place all the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth! If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add more almond milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.

So creamy!

Variations

If you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty obsessed with this blueberry smoothie recipe just as it’s written. But like any smoothie, it’s flexible! If you don’t have these exact ingredients on hand, swap in what you do have, or change it up to suit your tastes. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Go green. Blend in a handful of spinach or kale.
Skip the raspberries. Make a simple blueberry banana smoothie by using a whole frozen banana instead of half of one. Or add other frozen fruits like mango, strawberries, or pineapple.
Swap the nut butter. Replace the almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter.
Make it heartier. Add a scoop of Greek yogurt, whole rolled oats, or your favorite protein powder. A tablespoon of hemp seeds, chia seeds, or flax seeds would be a good addition too.

Let me know what variations you try!
