The secret to the creamy thickness in this Blueberry Smoothie are the frozen bananas. So chunk up your bananas and freeze them at the start of the week for a creamy chilled smoothie a day or two later. If fresh blueberries are not a fabulous price substitute another berry or go to the frozen aisle for blueberries. To make this dairy free use the creamy topping on the coconut milk. Alternatively, just substitute the yogurt for fruit juice instead.

The protein powder and ground flax meal are just suggestions for an extra boost of protein and fiber. Feel free to leave them out or add more or less to taste.
