Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1 banana
• 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup, to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the blueberries, almond butter, banana, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
2. If you are using Greek yogurt, add it to the blender for a richer, creamier texture.
3. Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
4. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if needed, adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
5. Pour the smoothie into two mason jars, and garnish with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of almond butter.

Helpful Tips

For an added nutritional boost, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds into the smoothie. If you’re looking to make this recipe even easier, use pre-frozen banana slices to ensure a thick, chilled smoothie without the need for ice cubes.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or shake well before drinking, as separation may occur.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you’re out of almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter work just as well. For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with additional almond milk or a plant-based yogurt.

Pairings and Complementary Dishes

Enjoy this smoothie alongside a hearty granola or a slice of whole-grain toast with avocado for a well-rounded breakfast. It also pairs wonderfully with a refreshing fruit salad or a handful of mixed nuts.
