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.
Such a great recipe. Filling & satisfies my sweet tooth!
Having this for lunch but not my favorite! I think it’s the coconut yogurt taste in it that I don’t really care for. I couldn’t find the cashew yogurt but if I ever do then I would definitely try it again!
I LOVE THIS SMOOTHIE!!! Bloobs are my favorite! I used a mixture of frozen and fridge blueberries so the consistency is a little more along the lines of milk than a smoothie. That is absolutely fine by me! So delicious!
This smoothie was creamy and delicious! I like that it wasn’t tart! I slurped it down with glee!! It wasn’t overly blueberry-ish, but I could still taste them!!
I thought this would be one of my favorites, but just eh. Fast drinking and good, but love many of the others better.
YUM! This one tastes great, has great texture and feels decadent and yet still fresh!
If you are a Blueberry Lover, you are going to really enjoy this drink! It’s like having a GIANT BLUEBERRY! ….. And if you don’t think there is enough Blueberry flavor in the ingredients list, get a Blueberry Non-Dairy Yogurt…. I did and I’m loving it!
This one is my favorite – blueberries and bananas! Delicious!
Refreshing!! Thanks for the 10 recipes for this challenge! Fun to try new combinations of fruits and veggies.

This was delicious and would make a great dessert if frozen or smoothie bowl too.
This was very filling!!!
Subbed frozen riced cauliflower for the yog
Added in spinach for greens
Plus organic hemp hearts, chia and flax seed.
Also used combo of frozen and fresh blueberries as I needed to use up but also to reduce thickness
Enjoyed the taste but seemed a little bland compared to some of the others.. needed something to add a little zip to it!
Amazing! I loved this smoothie! Very refreshing and creamy without the dairy which I love!
10/10 I Did It!
Lovin the way to end day ten. Creamy and Blue.
Day 10 Creamy Blueberry Smoothie
Yummy! It’s creamy, totally delicious and very enjoyable!
Enjoyed the smoothie it was great.
Great flavors and so deliciously!!
Blueberries and bananas yum. What a delicious treat to help wrap up the challenge. Added some sprouted hemp hearts and flax seeds. Might add some avocado next time for more creaminess.
Beautiful color and great taste! This one is going into the rotation!
Day 10 would rate 10 stars with this delicious creamy blueberry smoothie!
This was a good smoothie but not as great as some of the others. I think part of it was my fault. I thought i would taste more of the blueberries but I tasted more of the yogurt. It called for a 1/2 cup. After adding the 1/2 cup, there was only a little left in the container- about 2 tablespoons. I dumped that in as well. Next time I either use the recommended amount of yogurt or increase the berries.
Delicious and creamy. I used frozen wild blueberries and I did add collagen. Unfortunately I could not find any unsweetened yogurt at the grocery store. So I used vanilla flavored almond milk yogurt. Ended up being a little too sweet for my liking. But that was due to the sugar in the yogurt not the recipe.
