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