Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup blueberries, 1 frozen banana, 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, and optionally 1 tablespoon almond butter.
- Blend Smoothie: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high power for 60 to 120 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Taste the smoothie; if it is too thick, add more almond milk and blend again briefly. If desired, sweeten with honey, agave syrup, or pure maple syrup, then blend to combine.
- Serve or Store: Pour the smoothie immediately into glasses and enjoy fresh. Alternatively, store the smoothie in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for later consumption.
Notes
- For a colder, thicker smoothie, ensure the banana is frozen before blending.
- Almond butter adds a nice nutty flavor and extra protein but can be omitted for a lighter version.
- Use unsweetened almond milk to keep added sugars low; you can sweeten naturally if desired.
- This smoothie can be customized by adding spinach or protein powder for extra nutrition.
- Consume promptly for best texture and flavor, though refrigeration up to 24 hours is possible.
