Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: Lay everything out on the counter for a smoother process.
- Measure the blueberries: Rinse fresh blueberries under cold water and pat dry. If using frozen, no need to thaw.
- Prepare the banana: Peel and break the banana into chunks. For a colder smoothie, freeze the banana slices for a couple of hours.
- Get the coconut milk ready: Shake or stir canned coconut milk to mix the cream and liquid. Pour carton coconut milk into a measuring cup.
- Optional ingredients: Have Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract ready.
- Add the ingredients to the blender: Start with coconut milk, then add blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth: Secure the lid and blend on low, gradually increasing to high for 30-60 seconds until smooth. Adjust consistency with more coconut milk or water if needed.
- Check the consistency: If too thick, add ice cubes and blend again. If too thin, add more coconut milk.
- Taste and adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if desired, blending again briefly.
- Pour into glasses: Serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful color.
- Garnish (optional): Top with fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint for a special touch.
- Enjoy immediately: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be served with granola or toast for a filling breakfast.
