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.

  1. Add all the ingredients except the collagen peptides to a high-speed blender.
  2. 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.
  3. Once everything is silky and combined, add the collagen peptides and blend again on low speed for just a few seconds until mixed in.
  4. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately while it’s cold and creamy!

Common Questions

What fruits blend well with blueberries?

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.

Are blueberry smoothies good for you?

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.

Do you put ice in a smoothie?

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.

Is it okay to blend blueberries?

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.

    Color was fantastic, but it’s because I love purple. Flavor was a bit too much blueberry, but I would try it again.

    This should be called the blueberry muffin smoothie. I used vanilla coconut yogurt and coconut water for a liquid. I swear it tasted like a blueberry muffin batter. So delicious!

  3. 5 stars
    Just as advertised, simple and delicious.
    I’ll probably add some greens for extra nutrients next time.

    Another delicious smoothie. Day 10 and I enjoyed the challenge and will continue to make most of these recipes again!

    I used collagen powder instead of the protein boost. This was OK, but again I felt the Forager yogurt was the dominant flavor. I may try it again without the yogurt.

    Love this smoothie! Added some spinach and ground flax.I also used Greek yogurt because I didn’t have cashew.

    This is a real pick me up drink. Used almond milk and added some whole cashews. Didn’t have any yogurt so used some cranberry juice for a little tang. The half banana made it more than sweet tasting with a creamy texture.

    I love the creaminess and blueberry burst in this smoothie. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.

    Wow! This is definitely one of my top favourite smoothies!!! So creamy and yummy!! I love blueberries as well and this one does not disappoint!! I added in a scoop of vanilla protein powder so I could have right after my workout. To note: I didn’t have cashew yogurt so I just used plain unsweetened 0% fat yogurt. I also added in a few raw cashews for the added fat benefits!!!
