Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage or light coconut milk chilled
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp almond butter or cashew butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes if using fresh blueberries instead of frozen
Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. If you must store it, pour into a sealed jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; shake or stir vigorously before drinking as separation may occur. Make-ahead: Pre-measure the dry ingredients (chia seeds) and portion the frozen blueberries into bags for a quick blend. Variations: For a green boost, add a handful of spinach (it won't affect the color much). Substitute mango or mixed berries for the blueberries. Use flaxseed meal instead of chia seeds. For a protein punch, add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla plant-based protein powder.
