Blueberry Avocado Smoothie - Creamy, Bright, and Naturally Sweet

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; frozen will make it thicker and colder)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado (soft but not mushy; scoop out the flesh)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, soy, or coconut)
  • 1/2 banana (optional, for extra sweetness and creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber and healthy fats)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional; adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, adds warmth and roundness)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, brightens flavor and color)
  • Ice cubes (optional, 3–4 if using fresh blueberries and you want it colder)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, enhances flavor)

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first. Pour your milk into the blender jar. This helps the blades catch the solids for a smoother blend.
  • Layer the soft ingredients. Add the avocado, banana (if using), vanilla, lemon juice, and sweetener. These blend quickly and form the creamy base.
  • Add the blueberries and extras. Toss in the blueberries, chia or flax, and a pinch of salt. If you’re using fresh blueberries, add a few ice cubes for a colder, thicker texture.
  • Blend until silky. Start on low, then increase to high. Blend for 30–45 seconds, or until the color is uniform and the texture is smooth with no visible flecks.
  • Taste and adjust. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it sweeter, add a bit of honey or maple and blend again.
  • Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass. For a little flair, top with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of chia.
