Blueberry Smoothie
Description
The Blueberry Smoothie blends almond milk and blueberries for a fruity base enhanced with protein powder or Greek yogurt, contributing creaminess and nutrition. The frozen blueberries help keep the smoothie cold and thick without diluting flavor, while almond milk provides a mild, nutty undertone. Tasting before adding maple syrup is advised since flavored protein powders may already add sweetness.
The smoothie makes about two cups, suitable for a single serving as a quick snack or light breakfast. It can be adjusted for sweetness or milk type based on preference or dietary needs.
Leftover smoothie can be stored covered in the refrigerator up to four days, though some separation may occur; simply shake or stir before drinking. When using fresh blueberries, adding ice helps keep the texture balanced and chilled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk or other milk (see note 1)
- 1 cup blueberries see note 2, frozen
- 1 coop protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt (see note 3)
- maple syrup to taste, optional (see note 4)
Instructions
- In the bottom of a blender, add almond milk, blueberries, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries by adding ½ cup or more ice to keep the smoothie cold and thick.
- Use your choice of milk, including cow's milk or non-dairy alternatives like oat, soy, or cashew milk.
- Opt for vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt; taste the smoothie before adding sweeteners as some flavors already add sweetness.
- Store leftover smoothie refrigerated and shake well before drinking if separation occurs.
