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.
This was my favorite. I added some spinach and my collagen powder was lemon lavender flavored which went very well with the blueberries.
Yummy smoothie today. Has been fun doing the challenge. Gives me lots of new ideas for ongoing smoothies.
Two thumbs up on both hands! This one was delicious and smooth-tasting. I will add this one to my toolkit. Thanks.
Yum. Tossed in a handful of leftover mixed greens from yesterday’s dinner and supplemented with almond milk when it was too thick to blend and I had no more cashew milk, then added a splash of apple cider when I was craving extra sweetness. Somehow the combination came together wonderfully. Very tasty. I do like the creaminess that collagen powder adds to smoothies.
Blueberries are not my favorite berry but this was great!
Loved this one. I will do this one again for sure.
Creamy and very satisfying. I haven’t been able to find cashew milk, but I’m glad I’ve been introduced to cashew yogurt. It’s a great alternative to dairy.
Ask for cashew milk at your health food grocer. We could not find it until we asked as it is not in the cold sections.
This one was great !
Delicious! Used my leftover oat milk and almond milk added chia. Spinach and collagen powder. It darkened the color to a deep purple.
Pre dentist appointment meal. It was a soothie smoothie.
I liked this one too. I didnt taste the banana in this, just the blueberries.
Yummy… I love blueberries, so I figured this smoothie would be great. And it was.
Really liked this one, especially the bright purple color! The flavor was great – very blueberry, especially since I used blueberry cashew milk yogurt. I will make this one again for sure!
I particularly like the healthy benefits of blueberries and cashews. Good reminder to use both more often. A delicious combo!
Another delicious combo. What a great smoothie to end this challenge on
Ok not bad, again not a huge fan of blueberries in smoothies for some reason, I like to eat them and love them in baked goods, but in smoothies I normally find them tart. The addition of the cashew milk and yogurt made it palatable for me, also I was in the mood for nut butter so I added a spoonful of that. Yum.
Day 10. I love this Creamy Blueberry Smoothie! I used Almond milk instead of Cashew milk and will definitely try it again using Cashew milk. I love the flavor! it is delicious!
I loved this smoothie, so creamy and delicious
I love blueberries and I love bananas. So what’s not to love about this smoothie?
Day 10 – Creamy Blueberry Smoothie
I didn’t have the cashew milk so I used my almond milk. It was still good but I am going to buy some cashew milk – I think that it might taste creamier.

I made this similar to the meal replacement smoothie by adding rolled oats and greens. Other than that I stuck to the recipe, it was creamy and delicious. I’m trying to get more nutrition down my little one and these smoothies are really helping! Thank you!
The only changes I had to make were flax milk instead of cashew milk and greek vanilla yoghurt instead of cashew yoghurt and I added baby romaine for greens. I liked it. David doesn’t like it. What’s new?
