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 a creamy, tasty smoothie. I just wish it was thicker. I did not see the tip about freezing the banana until after I made my smoothie. I will have to try that next time.
Creamy smoothie that lets the sweet tart blueberries shine, yummy!
The best Blueberry smoothie. Very light in sweetness. Added some SGS protein powder and leftover steel cut oats for meal replacement.
Nice and creamy! I need to try it again with the yogurt, though. I was unable to find any plain nondairy yogurt.
Tofu,Oats,blueberries…oh my! This was my creamy blueberry meal replacement smoothie. It was just the right amount of each ingredient. I used almond milk, coconut milk alternative yogurt, and tofu since that’s what I had! My smoothie was very creamy and smooth! It was satisfying too and didn’t need any type of sweetener. Loved boosting this with oats and tofu! A new experience!
A scrumptious blueberry delight! I love the clean, fresh taste and the creaminess added by the cashew milk. This one will have a place in my smoothie rotation.
Day 10 (Yippee!) of the Simple Green Smoothie challenge!!
This was a simple, yummy blueberry smoothie to finish the challenge!
Thank you for all the great recipes! We’ll be trying more!
I also have really liked using the Protein Boost!
this was delicious! I have smoothies now to look forward to. Thank you for this ten day challenge!
This was another good one, although I only had vanilla Greek yogurt, which may have made it sweeter. Really gave my old Vitamix a workout these past ten days. 🙂
I Enjoyed Today’s Creamy And Delicious Blueberry Smoothie. The Color Of The Smoothie Is So Beautiful And Rich. I Like To Snack On Blueberries So Much, I Decided Years Ago To Grow My Own Blueberries. I Will Make This Smoothie Again And Again.
DELICIOUS just absolutely DELICIOUS! This smoothly is so smooth (pun intended), filling, and perfectly sweet, but not too sweet! I didn’t have anymore bananas so I added frozen strawberries, papaya, and my new favorite hack cauliflower! It is also so beautiful to look at and admire!
I love blueberries, but I don’t love them in smoothies… And yet this tasted awesome!! I used Michigan blueberries and your vegan yogurt recipe.
This was more of a thin and creamy blueberry smoothie. Not a big fan of the yogurt.
This is truly one of my favorite smoothies. I really enjoyed the creamy texture and delicious taste. Blueberries are one of my favorite berries and I added a touch of lemon zest as an extra touch of goodness. What a wonderful way to end a 10 day smoothie challenge. Delicious!!!
What’s not to love about a blueberry smoothie!? It’s my go-to! There’s so many directions you can take the flavor. I love the smaller, wild blueberries, they just taste so much better to me! I added lemon and lavender to the recipe, as suggested by another Challenge participant. So good!
Creamy and delicious. Non-dairy yogurt used was very thin and smoothie was thin. I used bovine collagen powder – no noticeable effect on flavor. Banana was fresh and smoothie came out lukewarm. I look forward to trying this one with some swaps, especially using avocado to reduce sugar. My blueberries were sweet to begin with so no tartness in smoothie. I think there is a wide range in blueberry sweetness which could account for the range of comments on this smoothie’s tartness.
It was delicious!
The creamy blueberry smoothie is about as easy to make as it gets. It was also very good. It wasn’t a complex flavor profile, but sometimes you just want simple and yummy. This fits the bill.
This smoothie was creamy. I cut the non-dairy yogurt in half because I do not like the taste of yogurt. Added pineapple for a little sweetness and to cut the yogurt taste. Did add the collagen. I would make this smoothie again.
Not my favorite but it was good.
