Easy Blueberry Smoothie Without Yogurt
This blueberry banana smoothie recipe without yogurt is thick, sweet, & creamy! Packed with delicious blueberry flavor and ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plant-based milk oat or cashew for creaminess
- 1 cup frozen blueberries OR fresh blueberries + see Notes
- 2 frozen ripe bananas
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds optional, if using see Notes
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender in the order listed.
- Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust thickness or sweetness if needed. Pour and enjoy right away.
Notes
- For an even creamier smoothie, add in an extra spoonful of nut butter (see how to make homemade nut butter)
- If not using frozen blueberries, you'll want to add ice for a frosty smoothie.
- Bananas with brown spots are sweeter. If your bananas aren’t ripe enough, add a splash of maple syrup or a date to help sweeten.
- Brown or golden flaxseeds work, or use the same amount of chia seeds, hemp seeds, or pumpkin seeds. You can also omit if desired.
- This smoothie blends up thick and creamy. If you prefer it thinner, add a splash of plant-based milk and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Before pouring, take a quick sip. Need more brightness? Add a squeeze of lemon. Too tart? A drizzle of maple syrup. Too thick? A splash more milk.
- If your blender struggles, add a splash more milk — it helps everything move without thinning the flavor.
