Blueberry Smoothie

from Smoothie with an Egg in a Hole, the Week of June 28, 2015.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

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.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • ½ cup plain yogurt, or the thick cream from a can of coconut milk
  • ¼ cup milk, or fruit juice or nut-milk
  • 1 tablespoon protein powder, optional
  • 1 tablespoon flax meal, ground, optional

Serving Size: 1 Person



 

Preparation Instructions

Start by freezing the banana slices. Place on a baking sheet or casserole (lined with parchment paper makes for an easy clean up). Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Ideally prepare several bananas and freeze ahead, ready at a moment’s notice for a smoothie.

Place the bananas, blueberries & yogurt in a blender. Add a splash of the milk or juice. Blend until smooth adding more liquid as needed, blend in protein powder and flax meal if using.
