Healthy Blueberry Smoothie

This healthy blueberry smoothie makes a quick and easy breakfast, snack or sweet treat and it’s loaded with nutritious ingredients. Blueberries are the perfect way to include more antioxidants such as Vitamin C in your diet. (Source.)

The are even more health benefits in this smoothie thanks to the great addition of plenty of chia seeds, which are a nutritional powerhouse and a great way to get more fiber, calcium and omega 3 in your diet. (Source.)

I adore the bright purple color that blueberries bring to the incredible blueberry smoothie. You can feel free to use fresh blueberries on hot summer days when they are in season or use frozen blueberries to enjoy the sweet berry flavor all year around.

In the recipe, I’ve suggested sweetness to taste. Honey goes best in this particular recipe, but you can add maple syrup, or any added sugar or sweeteners you’d like.

Adding healthy ingredients to the blender

Have a quick taste before pouring the smoothie out and add in a teaspoon or more of honey, if you’d like a sweeter smoothie. It really depends on the sweetness of your blueberries whether you add any or how much for the perfectly sweet smoothie for you.

You can use any milk you’d like in the easy blueberry smoothie recipe choose from whole milk for a dairy smoothie or non-dairy milk such as unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk or oat milk to make your blueberry smoothie vegan and dairy free friendly.

This easy recipe can be put together cheaply if you make it when berries are in season and budget friendly, along with keeping an eye out for when lemons are cheap too.

Filling the blender with the easy recipe ingredients

Here are some ideas for more healthy ingredients to include in the nutritious breakfast smoothie:

Oats
Peanut Butter or Almond Butter for healthy fats
Flax seeds or hemp hearts
Your favorite protein powder for a boost of protein
Other fresh fruit such as strawberries or banana
Handful of spinach, kale or leafy greens for a vegetable portion
Vanilla extract or salt to enhance the flavor of the smoothie
Ice cubes to make a creamy smoothie with a frosty texture

I like using my Nutribullet blender because you can blend and drink your best smoothies all in the one cup if you want to. It’s probably the gadget I use most often in my kitchen. (Here’s my Nutribullet on Amazon.)
