Blueberry & Brazil Nut Power Smoothie

This recipe yields one large serving (about 16–20 oz).

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Frozen blueberries (frozen is key for that thick, frosty texture)

  • 2 Brazil nuts (rich in selenium)

  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds

  • 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) for creaminess

  • Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter

Instructions

  1. Layer the Liquid: Pour your milk into the blender first. Adding liquids first helps the blades move freely and prevents “air pockets.”

  2. Add the Solids: Add the Greek yogurt, Brazil nuts, and chia seeds.

  3. The Fruit: Add the frozen blueberries last.

  4. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the Brazil nuts are completely pulverized and the texture is velvety smooth.

  5. Serve: Pour into a glass (like the “can-style” glass in the photo) and enjoy with a straw.

Nutritional Highlights

  • Blueberries: Packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C.

  • Brazil Nuts: One of the best natural sources of Selenium, which supports thyroid health.

  • Chia Seeds: Provides a healthy dose of Omega-3 fatty acids and fiber to keep you full longer.

Pro-Tip

If you find the smoothie is too thick, add an extra splash of milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen blueberries or a couple of ice cubes and blend again.
