Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries washed and stems removed
- 1 banana ripe peeled and sliced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla for sweetness
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon honey optional, adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
- 1/2 cup ice cubes optional, for a chilled smoothie
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by washing the fresh blueberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Peel and slice the ripe banana into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for blending.
Blend the Smoothie
- In a blender, combine the fresh blueberries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, add the ice cubes at this stage.
- Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure everything is well blended.
Serve the Smoothie
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey.
- Pour the smoothie into serving glasses. You can garnish with a few whole blueberries or a slice of banana on the rim for presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious blueberry smoothie!
Notes
For a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of almond milk. You can also substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
