Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 banana, 1 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of milk (or a plant-based alternative), and 1 tablespoon of honey (optional).
- If using fresh blueberries, rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If using frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend.
- In a blender, add the banana pieces, blueberries, Greek yogurt, and milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add the tablespoon of honey at this stage.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it's too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you’d like it sweeter, feel free to add more honey and blend again.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing it evenly. You can garnish with a few extra blueberries or banana slices on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Blueberry Banana Breakfast Smoothie!
Tips
- For an extra creamy texture, use frozen banana chunks instead of fresh bananas.
- Choose Greek yogurt for a protein boost and thicker consistency.
- If you're dairy-free, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- To make your smoothie more filling, add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen blueberries or add a few ice cubes while blending.
- Prep your ingredients the night before to make morning preparation even faster.
- Experiment with additional mix-ins like spinach, almond butter, or a dash of cinnamon for variety.
- Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest possible texture.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce or omit the honey entirely.
