    Oh how I love real fruit smoothies. No weird ingredients, no processed sugar, no thickeners or gums. Just real food all blended up into a delicious, nutritious drink that's as good for breakfast as it is for any time of the day.

    Not in a berry mood but still craving a fruit smoothie? Definitely try this refreshing peach smoothie!

    Healthy blueberry smoothie for the win

    This is one of my all time favorite smoothies. It is:

    • light and creamy
    • delicate and magical
    • protein-packed
    • fiber-packed
    • probiotic rich
    • antioxidant and vitamin C rich
    • anti-inflammatory

    So basically, perfect for a refreshing breakfast or warm-weather snack.

    And did I mention, this smoothie is incredibly easy to make? With frozen fruits on hand, this one only takes minutes to make in the blender.

    How to freeze bananas

    Having frozen fruits ready to go during the summer months—and especially frozen bananas—is one kitchen efficiency hack I try to always adhere to.

    While many fruits such as strawberries, blueberries and pineapple are usually fine in the freezer for several weeks, bananas are one fruit that you’ll want to replenish daily if possible. They do still brown and lose their fresh flavor after a day or two in the freezer.

    If you make smoothies daily like we often do, you’ll probably get in the habit of chopping up and freezing bananas every day for the next batch. I like to use 1-inch chunks to freeze.

    But if you’re more of a once in a while smoothie go-er, I’d recommend just freezing as you go. Just plan to throw a chopped banana in the freezer the night before if you’re going to make a smoothie in the morning, and you'll be ready to go!

    Course: Drink
    Cuisine: American
    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Servings: 2 medium smoothies
    Author: Allison

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
    • 1 ripe banana
    • ½ cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt for vegan/dairy-free; I used Stonyfield Grass Fed Whole Milk Plain Yogurt
    • ½ cup filtered water
    • 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup for vegan
    • 2 teaspoons ground flax seeds or flax meal
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • pinch cardamom optional, and just use a pinch; a little goes a long way
    • 1 cup ice or less if you don’t want an icy cold smoothie

    Instructions

    • Prep: Freeze blueberries and bananas for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight. I like to slice the banana into 1-inch chunks before I freeze for easier blending.
    • Blend: Add all ingredients except ice to high speed blender and blend for about a minute, slowly increasing speed to high (see notes).
    • Ice: Add ice and blend for another 30 seconds.
    • Enjoy: Pour into two medium glasses and enjoy immediately.

    Notes

    Blender: A high speed blender such as a Vitamix works best for this recipe to create a smooth texture, but a regular blender will still do the job just fine.
