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.
Really enjoyed the blueberry smoothie. Was not too sweet and had a creamy taste. I added kale and spinach, and it always amazes me how you can’t taste the greens! Will try this one again.
I enjoyed this smoothie. The Greek yogurt adds a nice thickness to it and made me feel fuller after drinking it. I would definitely make this one again.
Loved the blueberry smoothie. It was perfect after a workout on a cold, blustery day.
after using cauliflower in my smoothie for the first time yesterday and because i eat plant based, i decided to sub out the yogurt for 1/4c raw cauliflower + 1/4c coconut milk… and i used a whole banana because i don’t like partial bananas lying around. although half of a banana would have given the blueberries more opportunity to shine. tastes great and looks beautiful!
This was good, but I’m not really a fan of yogurt or bananas, so not my personal favorite.
Blueberry Hill was delicious! I added some vanilla protein powder and had it as a meal replacement for breakfast.
Delicious recipe
Love the taste of blueberries and the yogurt together!
#Challenge Day 2, it was the best smoothie ever yet. It was just what a need from a super busy morning and afternoon. I the smoothies earlier but I don’t see it so I am writing another one to make sure you get it. It was smooth and creamy and very good, I loved it
Love blueberries! This was delicious, I added hemp seeds and spinach leaves.
Very creamy, added a scoop of collagen. Will make this again!
Love blueberries so this is definitely a keeper!
Personally prefer less milk.
Keeping this one in my rotation. So creamy & delicious! I added protein powder, collagen peptides and MCT oil & had it for lunch.
Pretty good, blueberry banana is a classic flavor for a reason I think next time I might try it with a vanilla flavored yogurt to see if that would punch up the flavor with an extra layer.
Great smoothie! Blueberries are not my favorite but with the banana and Greek yogurt gave it a really great smooth taste!
Good smoothie. Next time, I’ll add a whole banana — this one was really tangy because of the Greek yogurt I used.
I share the love of blueberries, too, so I used fresh. Also used non-fat Greek yogurt. This is my new favorite smoothie! Love it!!!
Oops challenge, Day 2 recipe
The BLUEBERRY Smoothie is a WINNER
Made mine w unsweetened almond milk because that’s what I had! Still added my Tri-omega superfood and hemp hearts.
Nice simple smoothie recipe and delicious. It’s not real sweet especially if you use wild blueberries
What a delicious smoothie! Anyone have a hack for making smoothies faster on those workdays?
Hi Rose! I’d suggest putting the ingredients together in bags so you can pull them out of the freezer, add your liquid and blend!
