This was supposed to be an environment-friendly smoothie, but when it came time to make it, I was yearning for blueberries. Fruit and almond butter over greens. Go number.
Yet that’s alright! I’m improving at listening to my body’s signs. And, when it requests for blueberries, I give it blueberries. This smoothie needs 6 basic ingredients, a mixer, and 5 minutes to make.
The base is frozen ripe banana and wild, organic, frozen blueberries (a wintertime fave of mine). Following comes almond butter for some plant-based healthy protein and creaminess, and almond milk blends everything with each other. I likewise added flax and chia seed for plant-based fiber and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Not only is this smoothie healthy, it’s remarkably tasty. It’s someplace in between a blueberry milkshake and a banana smoothie — my fave. Trust me, you’re gonna want this smoothie.
I hope you all enjoy this smoothie! It’s:
- Creamy
- Bright blue
- Blueberry-infused
- Perfectly pleasant
- Super nutritious
- Therefore tasty
This would make the best, quick weekday breakfast or afternoon snack. It’s also an ideal dessert! I enjoy adding a little coconut milk to my offering glass prior to soaking the smoothie for a “swirl” impact. Makes nourishment a lot more enjoyable (and attractive).

Guidelines
1. Include frozen banana, blueberries, almond butter, flaxseed dish, chia seeds, and almond milk in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Healthy protein powder is optional and I avoided it, but it would certainly make a terrific enhancement for more staying powder (feel in one’s bones it will impact the flavor/sweetness).
2. If it has trouble mixing, include a bit more almond milk. Then preference and change taste as needed, including more banana (or a little bit of stevia) for sweetness, blueberries for fruitiness, almond butter for nuttiness/creaminess, or almond milk to slim.
3. To serve: An optional action is to pour a little bit of light coconut milk or almond milk right into your serving glass( es) first and after that top with the smoothie for a swirl impact! Coconut milk is thicker and makes a better swirl, however both work.
4. Garnish with additional chia seeds and/or almond butter (optional) and delight in! Store leftovers in the fridge for as much as 2 days, however best when fresh.
