Healthy Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

Try this deliciously healthy blueberry smoothie recipe with nutritious superfood blueberries, nutty cashew milk and creamy cashew yogurt. It’s as gorgeous as it is tasty. While green smoothies definitely have their place in my morning routine, I love shaking it up with vibrant fruit smoothies every once in a while.

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 for my fruit smoothie bowl.

How to Make a Healthy Blueberry Smoothie

1. Toss all the ingredients into your blender.
2. Blend thoroughly until smooth. 
3. Scrape down the sides as needed.
4. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!

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.
