There’s something so delightful about the smell of freshly baked blueberry muffins wafting through the kitchen. Today, we’re transforming that comforting flavor into a delightful, refreshing Blueberry Muffin Smoothie. This smoothie is perfect for busy mornings, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or a fun and nutritious snack for the kids. It brings together the best of both worlds — the sweet, tart, and earthy flavors of blueberries with the creamy, comforting texture reminiscent of your favorite muffin. Beyond its incredible taste, this smoothie offers a wonderful way to bond with family over a healthy treat, spark creativity in the kitchen, and celebrate seasonal occasions. Join me, Zynah Maryam, as we blend joy into every sip.

Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of oats, for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the frozen blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt, rolled oats, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract.

- Pour the smoothie into tall glasses.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of oats.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste!
Helpful Tips
- For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen blueberries or a handful of ice cubes.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup.
- This smoothie can be made dairy-free by substituting Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt.
- For an extra boost of protein, add a scoop of protein powder to the mix.
Storage Instructions
If you have any leftover smoothie, pour it into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before drinking as it may separate over time.
Ingredient Substitutions
You can substitute almond milk with any type of milk you prefer, such as soy milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk. If you don’t have rolled oats, quick oats will also work well in this recipe.
Pairings
This Blueberry Muffin Smoothie pairs perfectly with a warm slice of whole-grain toast spread with almond butter or a small plate of mixed fresh fruits. It also complements well with energy balls or granola bars for a more filling meal.
