Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thinner smoothie, add more almond milk. For a thicker smoothie, add a bit more frozen blueberries or a few ice cubes.
- Pour into a glass and top with granola or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make it Vegan: Use dairy-free yogurt + plant milk + pea protein powder.
- Fresh Banana: You can certainly use a fresh banana in this recipe. If you do, I recommend using frozen blueberries so the smoothie is thick. You can also try adding 1 – 5 ice cubes if needed.
- Freezing: You can freeze smoothies for up to 3 months. The best way to freeze them is in large ice trays and then in freezer-safe bags as “cubes.” When you are ready to enjoy, simply add to a glass and let thaw in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. You can also blend the smoothie ice cubes for a quick thaw. Do not freeze a smoothie in a glass container because it will break from the cold temperature in the freezer.
