Start your day with a colourful and filling smoothie. This Blueberry smoothie is sweet and creamy and ready in just a couple of minutes. Great as breakfast or a snack, if you are short on time then throw together this filling and vibrant smoothie.
This is a really simple smoothie, but far from boring. I usually have more than just a smoothie for breakfast, but if that is all I have time for then this is the one I choose. It's nutrient dense and pretty filling with the oats and cashew butter. You could add some flax or chia seeds too.
This smoothie is kid approved too. They love the colour, it's nice and sweet and the flavours aren't too overpowering either.
Why should you try it?
✔ Ready in under 5 minutes
✔ Filling
✔ Kid friendly
Creamy Blueberry Smoothie
This really is a super creamy smoothie, and there are a few different ingredients to thank for that. Banana is always a must for a creamy smoothie, but we added some Greek yoghurt too. Also, the blended up oats add an extra layer of creaminess, as well as making it more filling.
If you aren't a fan of banana, then you could add half an avocado instead. Avocado doesn't really have a taste, but you will lose some of the sweetness that the banana gave. Make this even creamier by using a frozen banana.
How To Make a Vegan Blueberry Smoothie
If you want to make this a vegan blueberry smoothie, then just swap the Greek yoghurt for coconut or soya yoghurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
Another great vegan addition to this smoothie is a splash of coconut milk. It makes it even creamier, and of course with a little hint of coconut.
Is a Blueberry Smoothie Healthy?
I think that we all know how amazing blueberries are by now? They are a rich source of antioxidants and packed with vitamin C, K and fibre. Not only that, but they turn smoothies an awesome colour.
We added some honey to this smoothie, as we like ours nice and sweet. But you could always leave it out to save some calories and sugar. Want to give it a green boost? Throw in some spinach too.
How To Store a Blueberry Smoothie
If you make a big too much smoothie, or can't finish it, then you can store this in the fridge for a day. Just make sure to give it a good stir before you drink it again.
