Ingredients
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to thaw)
2 large ripe bananas (fresh or frozen)
1 ½ cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Ice cubes (optional, if using fresh fruit)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (blueberries, bananas, milk, chia seeds, and ice if using) into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little extra milk or water until your desired consistency is reached.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing smoothie!
Notes
- Sweeten naturally: If your smoothie needs extra sweetness, add ½ tablespoon honey, maple syrup, stevia, or a Medjool date.
- Add greens: Sneak in a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without affecting the flavor much.
- Swap fruits: Substitute blueberries with strawberries, raspberries, mango, peaches, cherries, or pineapple. Frozen fruits give the best texture.
- Boost protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, a tablespoon of nut butter, flax seeds, or oats to increase protein and fiber.
- Texture tips: Use frozen fruits for a thick smoothie; use ice with fresh fruits. Add more liquid for a thinner smoothie.
