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.
An excellent way to end this smoothie challenge! I loved this recipe. Very creamy, delicious and filling.
Tasty and great texture. I did add extra cashew milk and the recipe I was following suggested collagen rather than protein powder, so that is what I used to get the protein up. It has a large quantity of blueberries, which helps make it so tasty. A great way to end the challenge.
A very delicious smoothie! I wasn’t able to find any cashew yogurt so I sub with cauliflower (think this will be my new ingredient in smoothies) and turned out great! Love it!

This one did not disappoint. Loved the berry flavor and it was such a pretty color.
Very very yummy!
I love the flavor of this one and will definitely make it again.
We loved this smoothie, AND the entire experience with Rawkstar 10 Day Challenge. We used them as breakfast replacement meals and didn’t feel hungry for hours not even to snack. Quite the feat especially for my husband who has been a heavy snacker. I’ve been using frozen regular yogurt because I had it on hand but am inspired to add cashew yogurt to my homemade endeavors now. I’m also using up several different protein powders I have so I can order the homemade protein powder. Thank you for all of the info, and to the group for their comments. This was an eyeopener for me and I’ve made smoothies for years – but never really paid attention to what/why of the ingredients.
Day 10 Creamy Blueberry Smoothie, Enjoyed this one very much. I’ve put blueberries in all my breakfast shakes for years and I love them!
Love the blueberry taste!
Simple and refreshing!
This was a great smoothie – really good with a beautiful colour.
Loved the creaminess with the blueberries . Like a blueberries ice cream.
I can’t get over this smoothie’s beautiful color! Every time I drink a blueberry smoothie, I think the same thing. It made me happy just looking at it (and, of course, drinking it). 🙂 Very creamy, not overly sweet. Would be great as a dessert substitute as well!
This was good. Added hemp seeds and had to add extra liquid to blend.
It’s good! I like the idea in the comments on using cauliflower instead of yogurt. I used Greek yogurt and it can dominate the taste of the smoothie.
Good stuff! I’d make this again. I subbed cauliflower for the yogurt, and it came out very creamy and delicious.
Good, basic smoothie. I did add a scoop of vanilla protein powder & superfoods greens blend because I felt I’ve been missing my greens lately. I guess I could’ve just added a handful of fresh spinach.
It’s good. Nothing unexpected, no surprises with this.
I like this smoothie. It’s simple and a good breakfast to start the day!
