- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup crushed ice (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions
Now that we’ve got everything we need, let’s dive into making this smoothie. It’s a straightforward process that even your kids can help with—just be prepared for a little mess, but hey, that’s what makes it fun!
- Start by adding the frozen blueberries, banana, and Greek yogurt to your blender. These ingredients form the creamy base of your smoothie.
- Pour in the almond milk. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, start with less milk and add more until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the almond butter and honey. These add a rich, nutty flavor and a hint of sweetness. If you’re avoiding added sugars, feel free to skip the honey.
- Throw in the vanilla extract for that extra layer of flavor. It really ties everything together.
- Blend on high until smooth. Depending on your blender, this should take about 1-2 minutes. You’re looking for a creamy, well-mixed texture with no chunks remaining.
- If you want a colder, thicker smoothie, add the crushed ice and blend again until everything is well incorporated.
And there you have it! A beautiful Blueberry Almond Smoothie ready to be enjoyed.
