This ultra-creamy smoothie combines antioxidant-rich blueberries with velvety cashew butter for a protein-packed, naturally sweet breakfast or snack. The cashew butter adds a rich, nutty depth that makes it feel decadent while being dairy-free and nutritious.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup frozen blueberries preferably wild blueberries for intense flavor
- 2 tbsp unsalted cashew butter creamy, not chunky
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk for extra creaminess
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt alternative
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup optional, adjust to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup ice cubes optional, if using fresh blueberries
Notes
For best results, drink immediately. To make ahead, combine all ingredients except ice in a sealed jar and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then blend just before serving. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day—stir well before drinking as separation may occur. Substitutions: use peanut butter or almond butter for a different nutty flavor; swap blueberries for mixed berries or cherries; for a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and ensure cashew butter is vegan. For a thicker smoothie bowl, reduce liquid by ¼ cup and serve with granola and fresh fruit toppings.
