About Blueberry Almond Smoothie

Definitely, this smoothie is a spring and summer drink, but it is also good all around the year. Frozen blueberries are readily available, so we can make this smoothie anytime.

Homemade smoothies are much better than store-bought. They are fresh and easy to make, and we can choose only the best quality fruits and other ingredients. In addition, making smoothies at home means saving in your pocket and cutting down on unnecessary sugars.

Blueberry Almond Smoothie contains protein, minerals, calcium, fiber, and healthy carbs. And so, it is one of the good options for quick weekday breakfast or post-workout snacks.

As soon as spring starts, we are ready for smoothies until the cold days start again. My son loves to drink smoothies after school and for breakfast on summer mornings. And it is my favorite mid-morning drink or when I want something lighter for my lunch after a heavy breakfast.

I have used unsweetened almond milk and almond butter for this smoothie. But if you do not have almond butter, you can throw 10-12 almonds into the blender. And instead of Greek yogurt, you can use plain or non-dairy yogurt.

Ingredients

1. Blueberries: I have used frozen blueberries to make the smoothie. Frozen berries make the smoothie thick and frosty. But you can also use fresh blueberries and add ice cubes while blending the smoothie.
2. Almond Milk: The smoothie contains almond milk, so it is a blueberry almond smoothie! But you can use your favorite non-dairy milk for the recipe. For example, using light coconut milk is another best option. Or, use cashew milk!
3. Almond Butter: It is so good! Almond butter makes the smoothie nutritious and tasty. But do not stop making this smoothie if you do not have almond butter. Simply throw 10-12 whole almonds into your smoothie, which is still delicious!
4. Yogurt: I love adding yogurt to smoothies. It makes the drink thick, creamy, and rich with additional health benefits. You can add more or less yogurt according to your preference.
5. Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are considered a superfood. They are high in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. I love to throw these tiny seeds into my smoothie. However, you can skip it if you do not have it in your pantry. Instead of chia seeds, you can use hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds.
6. Sweetener: If your blueberries are extra sweet, you might not even need any sweetener. I have added a tablespoon of maple syrup to make the smoothie perfectly sweet. However, you can skip it or add your choice of sweetener.

How To Make Blueberry Almond Smoothie

• It is super easy to make this smoothie. This smoothie can be made with fresh or frozen blueberries. Also, it is easy to customize the recipe as per your preferences.

• If you use fresh blueberries, add a handful of ice cubes.

• Add more almond milk to adjust the consistency if the smoothie is very thick.

• Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.

Variations

Make It Vegan: For a dairy-free blueberry almond smoothie, use non-dairy yogurt or skip it.

Almonds: If you do not have almond butter, you can add whole almonds to the blender.

Seeds: Instead of chia seeds, you can add hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds.

Coconut Cream: Instead of yogurt and dairy-free milk, add coconut cream for a creamy, rich, and thick smoothie.

Banana: You can add a banana or a frozen banana for natural sweetness and more nutrients.

Oats: Add two to three tablespoon of rolled oats to make the smoothie creamier and healthier. It will also make the smoothie filling for a long time.

Baby Spinach: Adding a handful of spinach will make the smoothie nutritious and healthier.

Avocado: Add some avocado chunks to make the smoothie extra creamy and thick. Also, it is good if you want a non-dairy smoothie; you can skip yogurt and add avocado.

Protein Powder: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost.

Helpful Tips
