How to make a Blueberry Smoothie
This is the summary version; see the recipe card below for the complete list of ingredients and the instructions.
Add the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into glasses or cups, and garnish with fresh fruit or mint if desired.
Are blueberry smoothies good for you?
How can you go wrong with fruit, Greek yogurt, and milk? Greek Yogurt provides an excellent source of calcium and probiotics for a healthy gut and good bacteria balance. With 1/2 cup of blueberries per serving, these smoothies contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Milk provides nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D.
Recipe Variations
- Liquid – apple juice, grape juice, almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk
- Fruit – blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, mango, or peach.
- More Protein – flax seeds, oats, protein powder, peanut butter, chia seeds, or almond butter.
- Go Green – spinach, kale, chard, or collard greens.
How to thicken up a smoothie
Maybe you got a little carried away with the liquid and added more than you wanted. Your smoothie is a little thin, and you want to thicken it up. Try oats, protein powder, frozen fruits or vegetables, and nut butters like peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, or ice for an extra creamy texture.
Preparation Tips
- Freeze bananas with their jackets on.
- Instead of buying a whole bag of frozen blueberries, wash fresh blueberries, shake as much water out of them as possible, and place them in a freezer-safe bowl in the freezer for about 1-2 hours.
- I find this smoothie naturally sweet from the frozen berries and banana, but if desired, add just 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey.
Storage
Smoothies are always best consumed as soon as they are made while still frosty and refreshing. If you must save some, place it in an airtight container in the freezer and reblend before enjoying.

I often make fruit smoothies in summer but I had never used frozen blueberries or bananas. This was delicious! The kids loved it.
Rosey
This is perfect timing!! I love blueberry smoothies (my favorite) but I ususally pick them up at my (previously) favorite smoothie shop. I have students who work there and they’ve told me what happens behind the scenes so now I’ve decided to make my smoothies at home!! This will be the first one I try.
Beth Pierce
Thanks, Rosey! Enjoy!
