Avocado in a Smoothie?
It may sound odd to add an avocado to a fruit smoothie, but hear me out on this!
Not only does an avocado add fiber and nutrients to the blueberry smoothie, but it gives it a rich, creamy consistency that feels indulgent, while being incredibly good for you!
After one sip, you may start adding avocado to all your smoothie recipes!
Happy Cooking! xo Kristen
Recipe Highlights
Notes on Ingredients
You only need 5 ingredients to make this Creamy Blueberry Smoothie. Below are a few tips to make the best selection.
- Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Bananas: A ripe banana will help to sweeten the smoothie naturally. If using fresh blueberries, opt for frozen banana for a creamy, slushy smoothie. If using frozen blueberries, it is best to use a fresh, not frozen banana.
- 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 form the kale before adding to the blender. And feel free to use spinach in it's place or omit both.
- Milk: Any variety of milk or non-dairy milk.
Tips for Making a Blueberry Smoothie
Making this blueberry smoothie is as simple as adding everything to a blender and blending, but there are three key tips to remember.
- 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 combing together well or too thick, add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at time, until right consistency is reached.
- Serve Immediately. This blueberry smoothie is best served immediately, as the ingredients will begin to separate as it sits.

I would have never thought to use broccoli!
Neither would I to be honest, was happy ALDI inspired me.
We love smoothies too! Love all the hidden veggies in this one!
Thanks Joceyln, smoothies are a great way to sneak them in!
We love smoothies here too, and I just love blueberry. I need to try this one. I love that it has hidden veggies.
You will love it--blueberry is such a winner.
This is awesome! I'm definitely going to have to try it with my son! He used to love eating veggies and now it's like pulling teeth to get him to eat them. This smoothie looks delicious!
This will be a great way to get your son some extra veggies while he is going through his picky stage and hang in there--it will pass.
Love this beautiful smoothie Kristen. Amazing that broccoli can hide so well. Definitely trying this!

Really? There's broccoli in there?! Awesome. I'll bet the avocado makes everything really creamy!
Couldn't believe it myself, but yes, broccoli is in this one 🙂
Wow, this is packed with hidden veggies! Blueberries are the perfect sweet fruit to mask any tastes though! Wonderful smoothie!
Totally agree. Blueberries are so sweet they work so well to hide the broccoli 🙂
