A Nutritious & Delicious Blueberry Smoothie
This Blueberry Smoothie is filled with all the good stuff. And by good stuff, I mean nutrient dense ingredients that taste good too! Made with blueberries, banana, avocado, kale, and milk, this Blueberry Smoothie is creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet. It also happens to be naturally sweetened, filled with fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Talk about a wholesome snack!
Tips for Making a Blueberry Smoothie
Making this blueberry avocado smoothie is as simple as blending up the ingredients in a blender. However, I have a couple of tips that will help you enjoy the creamiest, smoothest smoothie.
- Add Milk FIRST! Pour the milk or non-dairy 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.
- Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. However, if you choose to use both frozen blueberries and frozen banana, you may need add an additional ¼ cup to ½ cup of liquid to thin out your smoothie.
- Use a Ripe Avocado. Be sure your avocado is ripe and soft, so that it will blend up easily into the smoothie.
- Serve Immediately. This blueberry smoothie is best served immediately, as the ingredients will begin to separate as it sits.

Lauren is loving my smoothies with Greek yogurt, strawberries and bananas. She doesn't like blueberries or the blueberry / strawberry blend. Would the strawberries hide the broccoli or do you have another veggie I can sub with Strawberries and bananas? Can't wait to try your recipe.
Kristen Chidsey
Thanks Shannon. I would add flax seed to her smoothies and maybe a bit of carrot puree. Green will be hard to disguise in a pink smoothie. However, look at my super food smoothie--she may love that. https://amindfullmom.com/super-food-super-smoothie/
