Favorite Blueberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

We are all about smoothies and protein shakes here at Fit Foodie Finds. We eat smoothies for breakfast (mostly), but also make smoothies for snacks and other meals if we are in a hurry. This blueberry smoothie recipe is a personal favorite of mine because it’s naturally sweetened with frozen bananas and perfectly thick.

What You Need

5 ingredients are all you really need to make this smoothie and guess what? You likely have all of this on hand already. Frozen blueberries: the basis of this smoothie is frozen blueberries! If you want to use fresh blueberries, we recommend adding in some ice so that it stays thick. Frozen banana: instead of adding any added sugar, we’re using frozen banana to sweeten this blueberry banana smoothie! Milk: any kind of milk works for this recipe. Our favorite is unsweetened almond milk. Flaxseed: we thought we’d give this smoothie a nutritional boost and add in some flaxseed meal. Vanilla extract: vanilla really brings out all of the flavors from the blueberries.

Frozen vs. Fresh Blueberries

We generally like to buy frozen blueberries over fresh, because they are usually cheaper. However, if fresh blueberries are on sale at the grocery store or if you go blueberry picking, you can learn how to freeze blueberries in this post.

Are blueberry smoothies good for you?

This blueberry smoothie recipe is a healthy breakfast or snack option because it uses real ingredients and no added sugar.

Do you put ice in smoothies?

We do not typically use ice in our smoothies because we use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit gives smoothies a thicker consistency that we just love. If you only have fresh fruit, that we would suggest using ice to get that frozen fruit smoothie texture.

What is a good combination with blueberries?
