Okanagan Blueberry Smoothie

Make this blueberry smoothie for breakfast! This smoothie recipe is creamy, luscious and so nutritious. You’ll need frozen blueberries and bananas, almond butter and almond milk. Recipe yields 2 servings (about 4 cups); you can easily halve or double the recipe.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups to 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk or water
  • 1 ½ cups frozen Okanagan blueberries
  • 1 ½ cup frozen bananas (I freeze my bananas in ½″ slices)
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • Optional nutrition boosters: ¼ cup old-fashioned oats and/or 2 tablespoons flax seed
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, if necessary (I usually don’t need it)

Directions

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a blender, combine all of the ingredients.
  2. Blend on low until the blender gains traction, then ramp up to the highest speed as soon as possible (or if your blender has a smoothie function, that will work great). Stop to scrape down the sides or add more milk if necessary.
  3. Once the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, taste it and blend in maple syrup if you’d like a sweeter smoothie. Divide the smoothie into 2 glasses. Serve immediately
