Fresh Blueberry & Mint Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups Frozen blueberries (using frozen gives it that thick, chilled texture)
-
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
½ cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat)
-
4–5 Fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
-
1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (to brighten the berry flavor)
Instructions
-
Combine: Add the milk and yogurt to your blender first (liquid on the bottom helps it blend smoother).
-
Add Solids: Toss in the frozen blueberries and the fresh mint leaves.
-
Blend: Start on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mint is fully incorporated and the texture is velvety.
-
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it sweeter, add your honey now and pulse briefly.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Top with a few fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint, just like in your photo!
Tips for the Perfect Blend
-
The “Frosty” Look: If you want it extra thick (like a smoothie bowl), use less milk and add 3–4 ice cubes.
-
Added Nutrition: Feel free to throw in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds; they won’t change the flavor but will add a nice boost of fiber.
