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.
This is going on repeat! It is sweet and decadent from the blueberries but so refreshing. Just the pick me up I needed on this winter day!
So so smooth again my banana was frozen just as creamy
I made the blueberry smoothie today. But I am not fond of milk products. The yogurt gave the smoothie a tang. (lemon)
Love blueberries but I felt like this smoothie was lacking something…
Really enjoyed this smoothie. Will be making it again and again.
Soooo yummy! Blended perfectly smooth and excellent sweetness. I used plain Greek yogurt so there was just a touch of tartness to the flavor.
I’m not a fan of bananas and added raspberries instead. Came out yummy that way! I don’t usually put yogurt in my smoothies but now I will! It gave the smoothie a very nice texture.
Another delicious smoothie that wasn’t too sweet. I added in some super food green powder as well. Toddler and mommy approved.
I liked this one but the banana was more pronounced today. I did have a different banana and maybe it was less ripe. I added a cinnamon stick some flax seed, spinach and topped with hemp seeds. I also am still using my whey protein so I added a little extra water and ice. I added almost 2 cups of spinach but the blueberries were so dark that it did not change to that strange brownish color.
I forgot to put in 5 stars. I loved this one
Love it
I try to make a blueberry smoothie a few times a week just never added yogurt. Nice and creamy. I need to buy more yogurt 🙂
I love blueberries and wasn’t disappointed with this smoothie. I used Greek yogurt and it was so creamy. Keeper for sure
I love the blueberry and banana. The unsweetened yogurt was odd. It depleted the sweetness of the fruit.
Smoothie Challenge Day #2
Super delicious!
Love the tang the yogurt adds
Not as thick as the strawberry banana one but still good texture (smooth and creamy). The yogurt added a nice little tang.
Blueberry Smoothie
It’s delicious!
I didn’t use yogurt, but added a protein powder and flax seeds
Antioxidant awesomeness! I’ll say if you are used to sweeter smoothies this might not be your jam, but encourage anyone to make it again after you’ve completed the challenge and see if you don’t enjoy it more. I use oat milk and plain Greek yogurt and love the creaminess as well as the color.
#Challenge Smoothie 2 – Healthy Blueberry
This smoothie is very creamy and has a nice taste. Love the color! I guess I am used to the green smoothies from the previous challenge. They seemed to have more taste to me.
Love the blueberry goodness!
