Zesty Blueberry Orange Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
Frozen Blueberries: 2 cups (provides the deep color and thick base)
Fresh Orange Juice: 1 cup (freshly squeezed is best for that zing)
Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup (plain or vanilla for creaminess and protein)
Frozen Banana: 1 medium (peeled and sliced before freezing for sweetness)
Orange Zest: 1 teaspoon (to amplify the citrus aroma)
Honey or Maple Syrup: 1 tablespoon (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)
Instructions
Layer the Liquid: Pour the orange juice into your blender first. Adding liquids at the bottom helps the blades move freely and prevents “air pockets.”
Add the Base: Add the Greek yogurt, orange zest, and your choice of sweetener if you’re using one.
The Frozen Goods: Add the frozen blueberries and frozen banana slices on top.
Blend: Start on a low speed to break up the frozen fruit, then increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety.
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more juice. If you prefer it thicker, add a few more frozen berries.
Serve: Pour into two chilled glasses.
Garnish (As pictured)
Top each glass with a handful of fresh blueberries and a bright orange wedge tucked onto the rim for a professional, cafe-style finish.
