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.
SOOO GOOD!
This one was ok. I like my Smoothies a bit thicker and not always a huge fan of blueberries.
Also, forgot to rate this smoothie!!!
I would need to check my ingredients to see if the yogurt or almond milk I had were responsible for the unpleasantly persistent taste. The same for yesterday. The ingredients in the original recipe Should be fine together.
Day 2 New Year’s Smoothie Challenge
Im giving it a 3 star bc I suspect that it isn’t the recipe, but one of my ingredients that makes it taste chalky. Same with yesterday.
Better than yesterday, but that’s not saying much.
If you like blueberries, you will love this recipe. A little tart, but I drank it faster than I usually drink a smoothie so it must be good.
We all loved this one!
Hubby and I enjoyed the deep blueberry taste. Added collagen!
I absolutely love this blueberry smoothie recipe! It’s one of my favorites.
Day 2 : Blueberry smoothie
I had a busy late day yesterday, but I still made this smoothie. The color of the smoothie was beautiful & the smoothie was delicious.
Yet another great smoothie, Blueberry. So easy to make and delicious. I used 1 banana and 1/4 avocado to cut down on sugar from bananas. Also used collagen as well as Jen’s protein powder.
Good but wanted it a little more sweet so maybe a date would have been nice to blend in.
Smooth, creamy, filling, easy to make! Fantastic! I didn’t have cashew milk, so made 1 cup almond milk with 1/3 cup almonds and 1 cup water. Had purchased lemon yogurt by accident (instead of plain), so used it anyway. Thought it would go with blueberries. Added 2 Tablespoons collagen, because I purchased it awhile ago and want to use it up. Everything turned out GREAT! Thanks for another fantastic recipe!
A big Five Stars for the Creamy Banana smoothie!! Not too sweet, not too banana-y, just a nicely balanced delicious smoothie.
I HATE everything yogurt so I left it out. Blueberries are also not my favorite. I added some chia seeds and cauliflower to this smoothie is good. I love that it isn’t very sweet.
Hello blueberries and cream!! Sensational smoothie!
Not as fond of this smoothie as the first two.
Day Three Banana smoothie
I think that I’d give this one a 3.5 out of 5. Just didn’t rawk my world. Maybe because all of the other smoothies were so good, I expected the same.
Really good
Love the color! This smoothie was tasty, but the non-dairy yogurt I used gave it a bit of an odd flavor. Next time I’ll try something else, maybe using cashews or hemp seeds instead to give it some protein and make it creamy.
