Why I Love This Blueberry Smoothie
I’ve always enjoyed blueberries. It wasn’t until I spent last summer in Maine with the kids that I fell in love with them. As we rode our bikes through Acadia National Park, we stopped along the trail and foraged for wild blueberries. They were about half the size of the ones I’m used to picking in Florida, but they were easily twice as delicious. Aside from my love of blueberries, here’s some more reasons it’s a winner:
- Creamy without dairy: Cashew milk and coconut yogurt create a rich, spoon-worthy texture with no added cream or sweeteners.
- Naturally sweet: Blueberries are a low-sugar fruit and banana provide just the right touch of sweetness and creaminess.
- Antioxidant-rich: Frozen blueberries deliver powerful antioxidants in every sip.
- Quick and satisfying: Simple ingredients blend in minutes and keep you feeling nourished and full.

Ingredients You’ll Need
With only four ingredients plus some options for taking it to the next level, this healthy blueberry smoothie recipe has amazing health benefits to support your journey toward a plant-based diet, or if you simply want to add more fruit into your day. Here’s what I’m tossing into the blender today:
- Frozen blueberries: Use frozen wild blueberries for an intense flavor and vibrant color. Look for this superfood in the frozen aisle of your local grocery store.
- Unsweetened cashew milk: This is a ultra-creamy non-dairy milk that adds a rich texture. You can learn how to make cashew milk or choose a brand with no added sugars for the best flavor balance.
- Cashew yogurt: A dairy-free vegan yogurt option is smooth and tangy and would be best for this healthy blueberry smoothie. My homemade cashew coconut yogurt recipe is simple to make, yet you can always buy one (or use plain Greek yogurt, too).
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness and a creamy consistency. Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Frozen works great for a thicker smoothie. Learn how to freeze bananas, so you’ve always got some on hand.
How to Make a Healthy Blueberry Smoothie
Grab these four blueberry smoothie ingredients and get ready for the healthiest fast food! Since there are no leafy greens in this one, you don’t have to do the two-blend method. If you’re still getting chunks, it might be time to upgrade to one of my recommended blenders for smoothies.
- Toss all the ingredients into your blender.
- Blend thoroughly until smooth.
- Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
Serving suggestion
If you are using a large blender, sometimes blending just one serving is harder than blending two, so grab a friend or save the second serving for the next day. Just make sure you give that second serving a good shake before sipping when you’re ready for it.
Easy Swaps and Add-ins
Smoothies with just a few ingredients are my jam. They are easy to put together as well as easy to boost when I want to.
- Add homemade protein powder: If I’m using this vegan blueberry smoothie as a whole breakfast, then I add in a scoop of my homemade protein powder to turn this into a 16g protein shake.
- Add more cashew milk: Add more cashew milk if needed to thin out your smoothie until it’s the exact consistency you want.
- Add almond butter: A great addition for added healthy fat, or add the seed/nut butter of your choice.
- Add spinach: Turn this recipe into a green smoothie by adding a handful of spinach.
- Swap cashew milk: Replace the cashew milk with oat milk or hemp milk.

Blueberries blend well with a wide variety of fruits. I love the classic combo of blueberries and bananas, or you could do a mixed berry blend with cherries, strawberries and blackberries. Blueberries also go with pears or tropical fruits like mango or pineapple.
Yes! Blueberry smoothies that use whole-food ingredients can add great nutrition to your day. Pick whole fruits, unsweetened milk and yogurts, and plant-based proteins like chia seeds or hemp seeds then blend a smoothie that’s full of fiber, only natural fruit sugar and protein and healthy fat to fuel your day.
I try to use frozen fruit in smoothies to keep them refreshingly cool, yet ice can be used as well. Know that ice does dull blender blades, so you can pour your smoothie over ice instead of adding it to your blender, or just go ahead and toss it in with everything else.
Yes! Blueberries are a great fruit to blend into a smoothie. They are easy to freeze or use fresh, just be sure to wash them well before tossing in.
Nice and smooth! Used Almond milk and plain Greek yogurt instead.
So glad you made the smoothie to your liking.
Blueberry Smoothie, One Of My Favorites, I Can Eat Blueberries At Least Once Or More Weekly I Used Frozen Blueberries And Frozen Bananas. I Added A Little Bit Of Protein Powder, Chia Seeds And Collagen To This Smoothie. This Was A Good Smoothie, I Would Make It Again.
I prefer the frozen blueberries, too. I’m glad you found another smoothie to add to your list. Keep Rawking, Wendy.
Great Post.
Hi Antonia. We’re so glad you like it. We’d love to get your feedback once you try it.
delicious! I made this into more of a meal replacement by doing a whole banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter without changing the milk & yogurt measurements and it was great
Great job making it work for you, Emily. And thanks for sharing the tips.
We are on the 7 day challenge, and this blueberry smoothie is on day 2. It is so good and so easy to make.
Double win, quick and tasty!
Turned out better than I was anticipating. Used all frozen ingredients. Added flax seeds, cauliflower, spinach and a little Maple Syrup. Used just enough liquid to make it milkshake consistency.
Great additions in this one, Carissa!
Absolutely delicious! Used a little too much banana by accident and a little too little milk & yoghurt. I’ll try to be more careful with my measurements next time.
It sounds like it was super creamy this way. Not a bad thing at all!
Very easy to make and very delicious.
Delicious and easy, the perfect pairing! Thanks for whipping it up, Mark.
