Blueberry Banana Greek Yogurt Smoothie Recipe
Blend this blueberry smoothie with banana, Greek yogurt and milk for a 5-minute, nutrient-rich breakfast or snack.
A blueberry smoothie is a chilled blended drink that combines ripe blueberries with a creamy base—commonly milk, yogurt, or a plant-based alternative—alongside ice and an optional natural sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Frequently enriched with a banana for added body and potassium, this fruit-forward beverage delivers a deep purple hue, a mildly tart flavor profile, and a concentrated dose of antioxidants. Simple to prepare and portable, it is regularly consumed as a quick breakfast, a nutritious mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a refreshing post-exercise recovery drink.

Notes
Freeze the banana slices overnight and you can skip most of the ice—the smoothie stays thick and frosty without diluting the berry flavor. For a protein boost, blend in a tablespoon of almond butter or a scoop of plain Greek yogurt and let the blades run an extra 10 seconds until perfectly silky.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen ones in this smoothie?
Yes—fresh blueberries will work, but the smoothie will be thinner and less icy-cold since you’re losing the frozen fruit’s chill. To keep the texture thick, add a handful of ice or use a frozen banana in place of (or in addition to) the ice cubes.
How far in advance can I make this smoothie, and what’s the best way to store any leftovers?
Blend it up to 24 hours ahead, then immediately pour the smoothie into an airtight jar, fill it to the brim, and refrigerate. Shake or stir well before drinking to reincorporate any separation. For longer storage, freeze single-serve portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the fridge.
How can I make this smoothie vegan?
Simply replace the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt (such as coconut, soy, or almond) and use a non-dairy milk like almond, oat, or soy. Swap the honey for maple syrup, agave, or pitted dates, and the smoothie becomes 100 % vegan with no other changes needed.
