Ingredients needed

Packed with a good amount of antioxidants and so delicious, this blueberry banana smoothie is a must-try! Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

• Blueberries: We recommend frozen blueberries to keep the smoothie nice and cold. You can use fresh blueberries, along with ice, in a pinch.
• Bananas: Naturally sweet, ripe bananas make all the difference in this smoothie. Freeze the bananas when they’re extra ripe and use only when completely frozen. Bananas truly thicken up healthy smoothies like nothing else.
• Milk: We like to use unsweetened almond or cashew milk because these options are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals, they also give a good consistency. Feel free to use any milk (dairy-free or not) that you like.
• Chia seeds: We’re blending in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for a boost of minerals, omega-3 fat, antioxidants, and fiber. Hello, superfoods! These make the smoothie super nourishing and filling and boost the thickness. You can omit it from the recipe if preferred.

Tips for success

Homemade smoothie recipes are simple to make, but here are several tips for a perfect shake every single time!

• Use a high-powered blender. The easiest way to make a super creamy, well-blended smoothie or protein shake is by using a high-powered blender (think Blendtec, Vitamix, or Ninja) to break down all of the ingredients.
• Use frozen fruit. Using frozen blueberries and bananas in this recipe is best, as it helps keep the smoothie cold and thick. Ice can water down the smoothie flavor and often doesn’t blend as well, so it’s best to skip it unless absolutely necessary.
• To blend, start with the blender on low speed, then gradually increase to high speed. This will help fully blend and incorporate all ingredients really well. End with the blender on low speed.
• Add more liquid. Don’t be afraid to add more milk, if your smoothie is too thick or won’t fully blend — especially if you’re adding more mix-ins.

Customize this recipe

Experiment with ingredients to make your favorite fruit smoothie! Here are some suggestions:

• Sweeten it up. This blueberry smoothie should be perfectly sweet, but if you’d like it sweeter you can add a 1/2 tablespoon of honey, pure maple syrup, a bit of stevia, or a Medjool date.
• Add greens. If you’re looking to get more greens in your diet, try adding a handful or two of baby spinach or kale leaves. It will turn the smoothie a different color, but you won’t be able to taste the greens.
• Different fruit. Feel free to sub the blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, mango, cherries, pineapple, peaches, or any other favorite. Just be sure to use frozen fruit for the best results.
• Add an extra boost of nutrition. Try adding in a serving of protein powder, flax seed, hemp seeds, or oats.
