Best Blueberry Smoothie Without Yogurt (Easy, Healthy)
Mallory
This Blueberry Smoothie without Yogurt is a decadently creamy and nourishing blend of frozen or fresh blueberries, banana, spinach, nut butter, chia seeds, almond milk, and vanilla protein powder. This is a tried and true smoothie I've been making for years. I hope you love it!
Add the milk and spinach to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Add your remaining ingredients including blueberries, banana, chia seeds, peanut butter, protein powder, and ice cubes (if using). Blend for about 40-60 seconds or until smooth.
Hint: purchase your fruits and vegetables when they are in season and dice and freeze them so they are ready to toss in the blender when you crave a smoothie!

Expert Tips
Blend your liquid + greens until smooth. THEN add the other ingredients. This helps to get rid of any chunky pieces of kale or spinach that you end up having to chew. Instead, everything will be smooth and creamy.
Use frozen fruits and less ice so your smoothie will be perfectly creamy.
When freezing bananas, be sure to peel them first!

My advice is to grab fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season and freeze them so you can make smoothies later! Or purchase frozen fruits and veggies at your grocery store for smoothies. Frozen produce contains just as much nutrition as fresh!
