I’ve always enjoyed a blueberry smoothie. It wasn’t until I spent last summer in Maine with the kids that I fell in love with wild blueberry smoothies. 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 this blueberry smoothie recipe a winner:
- Super creamy: Cashew milk and yogurt create a rich, silky texture.
- Naturally sweet: Blueberries are a low-sugar fruit and banana provide just the right touch of sweetness and creaminess. Wild blueberries have even more flavor and antioxidants!
- Quick and satisfying: Simple ingredients blend in minutes and keep you feeling nourished and full.

Ingredients You’ll Need
This healthy blueberry smoothie recipe can 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.
- Plain yogurt: Choose a plain, unsweetened yogurt for this—whether it’s Greek, my homemade cashew coconut yogurt, or coconut yogurt. The choice is yours! Just keep it simple and unsweetened to let the other flavors shine.
- 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 for my fruit smoothie bowl.
- Collagen peptides: They’re an easy way to give your smoothie a protein boost while supporting your skin and gut health—and the best part is, they won’t alter the flavor at all!
How to Make Healthy Blueberry Smoothie
Grab these 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.
- Add all the ingredients except the collagen peptides to a high-speed blender.
- Start blending on low, then slowly increase to high speed and blend for about 45–60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely creamy with no fruit chunks remaining. If the smoothie seems too thick, add a splash more milk to help it blend smoothly.
- Once everything is silky and combined, add the collagen peptides and blend again on low speed for just a few seconds until mixed in.
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately while it’s cold and creamy!

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.
Mike and I liked this one. 2 thumbs up.
I loved it ! For added power, I added a whole banana versus half and 1 Tbs flaxseed meal; 2 Tbs of hemp seeds and 2 medjool dates. I needed the extra sweetness today .
Blueberry smoothies are one of my favourite! Delicious, fast, easy and good for me! I especially appreciate the vitamin K present in this smoothie.
Lovely color! My tastebuds have been altered somewhat due to chemo finally affecting them, but I still enjoyed the taste of the smoothie with added protein powder. Not too sweet.
Simple and delicious <3 easy to mix with other ingredients like seeds or nuts. I made it quick so forgot to add some but will do the next time i make it.
It has a nice creamy texture and I love the tartness of the yogurt with the blueberries.
Deliciousness in a glass! I added protein powder and greens to make it a meal…cheers!
I loved this one! I didn’t have the yogurt on hand so I added protein powder instead. Super good and fabulous color.
I really loved this smoothie. I forgot to add the banana, but it was sweet enough. I also added a handful of spinach, which only made it even better.
Stunning purple color; nice flavor. I would have liked to have added some spinach
Enjoyed the blueberry smoothie although I needed to use fewer blueberries due to sensitivities. Added some spinach and extra peaches, turned out great and I will definitely make again.
Tasted great! Gorgeous color. This is my basic smoothie recipe. I just change up the fruits and add greens.
I’m not normally a big fan of blueberry smoothies, but this one is definitely the exception to that. It’s pretty and it taste great!
I didn’t really like this one although I love blueberries. I think it was due to the unsweetened, unflavored yogurt I bought. It also turned out a little thick so had to add more almond milk. Needed to be just a little sweeter, next time I’ll try a different yogurt or add more banana or mixed berries.
Yup. That was delish. I added a tablespoon of sharp ginger syrup b/c I like ginger with blueberries. It cuts through the creaminess of the yogurt, too.
(Sorry for the duplicate entry; I forgot to give a rating the first time!)
Also, I think a previous poster had a good thought: a pinch of cinnamon would have been nice. Or cardamom.

Day 2 smoothie would have been better without my additions. I lost the true flavor which would have been great! When I remake it, I’ll stick with a vanilla protein powder or chocolate if I add spinach.
I made this one exactly as written, with rather tangy blueberries from this year’s crop. As a result it was more tangy than sweet… just the way I like it. I think next time I might add cinnamon.
Delicious, creamy, flavourful, not too sweet, blueberry tasting. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, , plain unsweetened lactose free Greek yogurt, I added spinach, kale , cinnamon and flax seeds and protein powder.
Blueberry smoothie is sooooo delicious. I will be having this one again.
