Recipe Highlights

Kristen's Key Tips

When it comes to making a smoothie that is sweet, creamy, and packed with veggies, here are the tips that matter.

A ripe avocado is the secret to the creamy texture. It blends up super smooth and gives the smoothie a luxurious texture without adding yogurt or ice cream.
The riper the banana, the sweeter the smoothie. Often eliminating the need for added sweeteners.
Remove the stem of the kale before adding to the blender. That way it will blend up creamy and smooth and prevent a bitter smoothie.
Use some, not all frozen fruit. Opt to use either frozen bananas or frozen blueberries. If both fruits are frozen, the smoothie may become too thick and need thinned out significantly with milk.

Notes on Ingredients

You only need 5 ingredients to make this Creamy Blueberry Smoothie. Here are a few tips for selecting the best ingredients.

Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
Bananas: Use a ripe or slightly overripe banana to help sweeten the smoothie naturally. If using fresh blueberries, use a frozen banana for a thicker, colder smoothie. If using frozen blueberries, use a fresh banana to prevent the smoothie from becoming overly thick.
Avocado: For a rich, creamy consistency, along with healthy fats. Be sure your avocado is ripe and soft, so that it will blend up easily into the smoothie.
Kale: Be sure to remove the thick stem from the kale before adding to the blender. And feel free to use spinach in its place or omit both.
Milk: Any variety of regular milk or non-dairy milk.

How to Make the Best Blueberry Smoothie

Add liquid first! Pour the milk of your choice into the blender before adding the remaining ingredients. This will make the smoothie much easier to blend, as the blades will not get stuck on the solid ingredients.
Thin as needed. If you find your smoothie is not coming together well or too thick, add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve Immediately. This blueberry smoothie is best served immediately, as the ingredients will begin to separate as it sits.
