Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: fresh or frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, milk, and honey (if using).
- Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- If using fresh blueberries, place them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to chill them, which will help create a thicker smoothie.
- Add the chilled blueberries to a high-powered blender.
- Measure and pour the Greek yogurt into the blender.
- Add the milk to the blender. Use cold milk for a more refreshing smoothie.
- If desired, drizzle honey into the blender for added sweetness.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Blend again for an additional 10-15 seconds to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses.
- Optional: Garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a mint leaf on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy cold.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe blueberries. If they aren’t in season, frozen blueberries work just as well and can help chill your smoothie.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For a thicker, creamier texture, chill your blueberries in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before blending. This will give your smoothie that refreshing, frosty feel.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your taste. You can also experiment with other sweeteners like agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Blend for Perfection: Make sure to blend your smoothie on high speed for at least 30-45 seconds to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to incorporate all ingredients.
- Add Extras: Boost the nutritional value by adding a scoop of protein powder, a handful of spinach, or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber.
- Garnish Creatively: For a beautiful presentation, garnish your smoothie with fresh blueberries or a sprig of mint before serving. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference!
- Serve Immediately: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right after blending to enjoy its vibrant color and refreshing taste.
