- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup (150 grams) blueberries
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Greek yogurt

- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) almond milk
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) honey
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather fresh blueberries, ripe bananas, and remaining smoothie ingredients at room temperature.
- Add all components into a high-powered blender, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Secure blender lid tightly and pulse briefly to break down larger fruit chunks.
- Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until mixture becomes silky and homogeneous.
- Check consistency, adding ice if a thicker texture is desired or a splash of liquid if too dense.
- Pour smoothie into a chilled glass, allowing mixture to settle for 10-15 seconds.
- Optional: Garnish with a few whole blueberries or a banana slice on the rim for visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to preserve maximum nutritional value and optimal temperature.
Notes
- Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version that’s just as creamy and delicious.
- Freeze ripe bananas beforehand to create an extra thick, frosty smoothie texture that feels like a dessert.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for a nutritional boost that turns this smoothie into a satisfying meal replacement.
- Use frozen blueberries to make the smoothie colder and eliminate the need for ice, which can water down the flavor.
