Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries preferably wild blueberries for intense flavor
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk for creaminess
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt use dairy-free yogurt for vegan option
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey if not strictly vegan
- 1 tsp culinary lavender buds dried, food-grade
- 0.5 tsp ashwagandha powder optional, for adaptogenic support
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract pure

Notes
Store any leftovers in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation may occur. For make-ahead, you can prepare the lavender-infused milk up to 2 days in advance and keep refrigerated. Substitutions: swap blueberries for mixed berries, use coconut milk for a tropical twist, or omit ashwagandha if unavailable. Serve immediately for best texture and nutrient retention.
