Blueberry Pie Smoothie
This healthy, vegan, gluten-free, no-sugar-added smoothie tastes like blueberry pie filling. It’s sweet, satisfying, full of antioxidants, fiber, and tastes like a blueberry pie, minus the crust. I recommend frozen blueberries so you don’t need to add ice, and they’re readily available and less expensive, although you can use fresh blueberries. Use your favorite juice for blending and add slowly to achieve desired consistency. The smoothies go down so easily, blue ‘milk mustache’ and all.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces blueberries do not thaw (fresh may be used, but you’ll likely need to add ice, frozen
- 1 banana peeled and previously frozen in chunks is ideal, medium/large, ripe
- Blueberry grape, cherry, or pomegranate juice, about 1 cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sweetener to taste (zero-calorie sweetener, stevia, agave, granulated sugar, etc.)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients (except start with about half the amount of juice and add only as necessary to to achieved desired consistency) in the canister of a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Blueberries take awhile to break down, so you may need to blend for a couple minutes.
- Serve immediately. Extra portions may be frozen in freezer-safe (plastic) glasses for up to 3 months. Allow to soften at room temp before serving.
