Blueberry Almond Butter Smoothie
Health Highlights
An insanely creamy, nutritious, 6-ingredient smoothie with wild blueberries, banana, almond butter, flaxseed, and chia seed.

Ingredients


1 1/2 cup Banana (s) (ripe chunks frozen; ((~1 1/2 bananas as original recipe is written)))
1/2 cup Blueberries (frozen; (wild; organic when possible)))
1 tbsp Almond butter (Tbsp; (or peanut or sunflower seed butter)))
3/4 cup Almond milk, unsweetened (unsweetened plain almond)
1 tbsp Flaxseed meal (ground)
1 tbsp Chia seeds
1 TBSP Protein Powder, Vega Sport, vanilla (1-2 Tbsp; (optional // see my Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder Review for recommendations)))

Instructions


  1. Add frozen banana, blueberries, almond butter, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, and almond milk to a high-speed blender and blend on high until creamy and smooth. Protein powder is optional and I skipped it, but it would make a great addition for more staying powder (just know it will affect the flavor/sweetness).
  2. If it has trouble blending, add a bit more almond milk. Then taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more banana (or a bit of stevia) for sweetness, blueberries for fruitiness, almond butter for nuttiness/creaminess, or almond milk to thin.
  3. To serve: An optional step is to pour a bit of light coconut milk or almond milk into your serving glass(es) first and then top with the smoothie for a swirl effect! Coconut milk is thicker and makes a better swirl, but both work.
  4. Garnish with additional chia seeds and/or almond butter (optional) and enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 days, though best when fresh.
