Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- Juice and zest of 1 medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons juice, 1 teaspoon zest)
- ½ cup (120ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (full-fat or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
- Toppings (optional): fresh blueberries, sliced almonds, granola, shredded coconut, lemon slices
Instructions
- Rinse blueberries thoroughly and pat dry if using fresh. Peel and slice the banana. Zest the lemon carefully avoiding the white pith, then juice it to get about 2 tablespoons. Gather all other ingredients and measure them out.
- Add blueberries, banana slices, lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and the milk of your choice into the blender. If using chia or flaxseeds, add them now. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed to ensure even blending.
- Check the consistency and taste. The smoothie should be thick enough to eat with a spoon but still smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. Taste for sweetness and add more honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Top with your choice of fresh blueberries, sliced almonds, granola, shredded coconut, or a thin slice of lemon for garnish.
- Enjoy immediately. This smoothie bowl tastes best fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours if needed.
Notes
For creamiest texture, freeze banana slices beforehand. Start with less lemon juice to balance tartness. Use high-speed blender for smoothest results. Adjust sweetness gradually. Avoid adding ice cubes to prevent watery texture. Store leftovers covered in fridge up to 4 hours and stir before eating. Avoid freezing after blending.
