Why You’ll Love This Easy Blueberry Smoothie
- It Truly Tastes DELISH. Like my Watermelon Smoothie and Strawberry Smoothie, this blueberry smoothie tastes more decadent than it is. It’s bursting with fresh blueberry taste, yes, but what sets this Greek yogurt blueberry banana smoothie apart is that its flavor is reminiscent of a slice of fresh blueberry pie with a creamy scoop of ice cream. Yum and YUM!
- It’s Packed with Nutrients. This smoothie (and all of my healthy breakfast smoothies) is an excellent way to sneak more protein and fruits into your day. Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Plus, they’re easy to keep in the freezer. Take the fiber-rich oats, calcium-packed Greek yogurt, and banana into consideration, and the blueberry smoothie benefits are endless!
- It’s Easy to Adapt. While I typically enjoy this smoothie recipe exactly as it is written, like this Mango Smoothie and Green Smoothie, you can certainly adapt the ingredients to fit your needs or tastes. Toss in protein powder, greens, natural sweeteners (like maple syrup or honey), chia seeds, or anything else you enjoy!

How to Make A Healthy Blueberry Smoothie
The Ingredients
- Frozen Blueberries. While there are a handful of important blueberry smoothie ingredients, these are the star of the show!
- Frozen Banana. Banana is good in smoothies because it adds natural sweetness and helps give the smoothie its creamy texture. (For a blueberry smoothie without banana, try my Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie.)
- Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt. Making this a blueberry smoothie with yogurt ensures it is protein-packed and extra satisfying. (Have extra yogurt on hand? Try this Greek Yogurt Smoothie.)
- Rolled Oats. Oats give the smoothie body, make it more filling, and add a subtle “crust” vibe. (For another oat-packed option, check out this Oatmeal Smoothie!)
- Almond Butter. Helps make the smoothie more satisfying and gives it rich flavor.
- Vanilla + Cinnamon. The key ingredients that take this from being a basic blueberry smoothie to one that tastes like a blueberry pie in a glass.
- Almond Milk. I chose to make this a vanilla almond milk blueberry smoothie, but you can use any milk you have on hand. Making this a blueberry smoothie recipe with milk helps us reach the ideal consistency.
The Directions
- Prep. Add all the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend. Puree until smooth. ENJOY!
Storage Tips
- To Store. Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.
- To Freeze. Freeze smoothies in an airtight, freezer-safe storage jar for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Make-Ahead Tip
You can also make your smoothie in advance, then pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, add your desired number of smoothie cubes to a blender and puree.
What to Serve With a Blueberry Smoothie
- Muffins. Healthy Blueberry Muffins, Banana Oatmeal Muffins, or Coconut Flour Muffins would pair nicely with this refreshing smoothie.
- Eggs. For a protein-packed breakfast, pair this smoothie with Easy Kale Feta Egg Toast, Egg Muffins, or Bagel Egg in a Hole with Smashed Avocado.
- Oats. You’ll stay full for hours if you enjoy Overnight Steel Cut Oats, Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats, or Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats with this recipe.
- Bars. Breakfast Bars, Vegan Protein Bars, or Healthy Granola Bars would perfectly complement this smoothie.
Recommended Tools to Make This Recipe
- Blender. This blender is an investment that has been completely worth it. This blender is also a very good, more economical option. (Both would be great for making this Kale Smoothie!)
- Stainless Steel Straws. Everything automatically tastes more refreshing through these straws.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Choose Your Nut Butter. As written, this smoothie uses almond butter. However, you can swap it for any nut butter you prefer (or make it nut-free butter instead).
- Try a Smoothie Bowl. Use my Smoothie Bowl recipe for inspiration, and turn this into a blueberry smoothie bowl by adding a few ice cubes and additional frozen blueberries to make it as thick as possible. (Try this Strawberry Mango Smoothie as a bowl next!)
- Sip Before You Sweeten. This blueberry smoothie has lots of natural sweetness on its own, so I recommend trying a sip before adding any other sweeteners.

- TO FREEZE: Freeze smoothies in an airtight, freezer-safe storage jar for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Have been tossing blubes into EVERYTHING. It’s just that time of year. Bring on the fatties! :)
Pie in smoothie form?! I’m there for it!
Yummmmmmmmm!
BLUEBERRY PIE SMOOTHIE!!! Yaaaass!!!! This is genius and oh so pretty!
My grandfather likes to call himself “pleasingly plump”. It’s adorable!
Smoothies happen in my house daily. Love this blueberry pie version. Pinned!
Hum I love blueberry smoothies and I often make it for breakfast. This looks delicious ;-)
This sounds like a really great smoothie. For both flavor and texture, the protein powder we use (which nothing else has matched) is Designer Whey. We like the plain, the French Vanilla and the Double Chocolate flavors. The flavored ones are sweetened with Stevia (not so for all Designer Whey flavors), which is good for those who don’t like artificial sweeteners.
Thanks for the tip on the protein powder Susan! I will check it out. Hope you love the smoothie :-)
These smoothies look great and so delicious, Erin! Love blueberry pie – so good. Definitely going to be trying this out!
This smoothie sounds awesome! I’m with you, I just can’t get enough blueberries this time of year!
Hey girl This sounds really good!
Idk if I found a good deal but I got a ninja blender for less than $50 at target. It has a small attachment to chop food and an actual blender attachment too. SO WORTH what I spent for it.
That’s great, Stephanie! I hope you love it.
How many calories in this smoothie?
Great question, Tracey! I began adding nutrition info to my recipes in 2016, but unfortunately it’s too time consuming to go back to previous ones and add it. If you’re curious, you can use a free online nutrition calculator like MyFitnessPal—you just plug in the url of this blog post to get started! I’m sorry I’m not able to provide specifics, but I hope MyFitnessPal can be a helpful resource.
This is one of the best smoothies I’ve made!! My new favorite and it is very filling. The cinnamon is a great accent and I used a vanilla protein powder.
I’m so happy to hear that this was a hit, Kathryn! Thank you for taking the time to share this kind review!
This tastes EXACTLY LIKE PIE LOVE IT!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share this kind review, Tam! I’m so happy to hear that this recipe was a hit!
We picked and froze blueberries when my mom came to visit last summer and recipes like this make me so glad we did! I came here after reading the email about the oatmeal smoothie today, which I will have to try another day because I am thinking this smoothie-with-oats thing for breakfast is where it’s at! Unfortunately, I only got maybe 2/3 of it, as my 2 year old kept wanting to steal some. But even so, I am not hungry and we are almost to lunchtime! Thanks for another great recipe.
I’m so happy to hear that this recipe was a hit, Kate! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
So yummy!! All four of my kids and I loved this! Only change was adding a small handful of almonds instead of almond butter.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed the smoothie, Kiersten! Thank you for sharing this kind review!

I haven’t found a single smoothie recipe I haven’t liked, this one is no exception. I’ve made it a challenge to myself to try every single one of Erin’s smoothies. Hopefully everything she makes is good cause I’ll be buying the recipe book!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Brandon! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Needed to make something with blueberries where it would be ok if they were soft. This was so good! Husband, toddler, and myself approve! Had to substitute whole milk and peanut butter, and didn’t freeze the berries or banana but it was still delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Carrie! Thank you for sharing this kind review!

Where are the instructions?!? How much of each to use? These aint directions but a page full of ads
Hi Brice! There is a recipe card in the post that has all of the instructions. There is also a “jump to recipe” button right at the top of the page on the right hand side to help you get there faster. Hope this helps!
what a terrible recipe, all it does is list ingredients no measurements. a complete waste of time visiting this site
Hi Douglas, I’m sorry you feel that way but you had to scroll right past the full recipe to the comment section. It’s right above it. Also there is a “jump to recipe” button at the top of the page to help you get there faster. Hope this helps!
The absolute best!!!!! Made it for the first time yesterday, it was pretty amazing!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯😍
Hi Dee! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Excellent!!! The almond butter and vanilla extract really add a depth of flavor to this recipe! I added a scoop of unflavored Truvani protein powder too! Delicious !
Love allll your recipes! Need to get your cookbook!
Glad you enjoyed it, Shikha!
Just got all the ingredients to make this smoothie. Looks delicious! My only question is the 17 grams of sugar. Is that including the optional maple syrup?
Thank you!
Hi Barb! The nutritional information is not always completely accurate and can vary depending on ingredients and brands of ingredients used. When in doubt I would double check with a free source like myfitnesspal.com. It does not include the maple syrup. Hope this helps!
This was delicious. Not always a fan of smoothies and think they can be too sweet or too sour. This was perfect. Used a cinnamon peanut butter we had bought and never eaten yet.
Thanks!
Love to hear that! Thank you Becca!
Came across your website recently looking for healthier smoothie recipes, love this smoothie, have made it several times in the past couple of weeks, sweetness is just right for me and didn’t need to add the maple syrup. It’s very filling and one of my favourite smoothies, will be trying the green smoothies next……..Thank you :-)
Glad you enjoyed it Ruth! Thank you!
