• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
• Fresh blueberries and slivered almonds, for topping

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, almond butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker texture, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
3. Pour the smoothie into mason jars or your preferred serving glasses.
4. Top with a sprinkle of fresh blueberries and slivered almonds for an extra touch of texture and visual appeal.
5. Insert a striped straw, enjoy immediately, and let the flavors transport you to a cozy, rustic kitchen ambiance.

Helpful Tips

• Make it Vegan: Easily swap the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
• Smoothie Packs: Pre-package the smoothie ingredients (except for liquids) and freeze. When ready to blend, just add almond milk and blend!
• Customization: Feel free to add a handful of spinach for an extra nutritional boost without altering the delicious blueberry almond flavor.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before serving again.
