Creamy Blueberry Swirl Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen blueberries (keeps it thick and cold)

  • 1 Ripe banana (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

  • 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred dairy/non-dairy milk)

  • 1 tbsp Almond butter or ground flaxseeds (for healthy fats)

  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract

  • Optional: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.

For the Topping:

  • A dollop of Greek yogurt

  • A handful of fresh blueberries

  • A sprig of fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Combine: Add the frozen blueberries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.

  2. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen berries.

  3. The Swirl: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. To achieve the look in the photo, take a small spoonful of yogurt and drop it onto the center. Use the tip of a spoon or a toothpick to gently swirl it into the top layer of the smoothie.

  4. Garnish: Top with fresh blueberries and a small mint leaf for a pop of color.

Pro Tip: Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice, which can sometimes water down the flavor. If you use fresh berries, just add a handful of ice cubes to the blender!

Enjoy your nutrient-packed, delicious creation!
