A refreshing and creamy Blueberry Avocado Smoothie infused with zesty lemon and rich Greek yogurt. This nutrient-packed blend combines antioxidant-rich blueberries, healthy fats from avocado, and a hint of cinnamon for a perfectly balanced, delicious smoothie that’s great for breakfast or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Fruits & Dairy

  • 1 lemon (zest from whole, juice from half)
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup avocado chunks, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Liquids

  • 2 cups almond milk, unsweetened (or other plant-based milk)

Additional Flavors & Seeds

  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Optional: unflavored or vanilla protein powder or collagen powder
  • Ice, as needed (if not using frozen ingredients)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon: Wash and dry one lemon thoroughly. Using a zester or grater, zest the entire peel of the lemon to capture its fragrant oils. Then, cut the lemon in half and juice only one half for the smoothie.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender, starting by pouring in the almond milk. Include the blueberries, avocado chunks, Greek yogurt, vanilla bean paste, chia seeds, cinnamon, and optional protein or collagen powder. Add ice if you are not using frozen fruits to chill the smoothie.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined. Pause and taste the smoothie; adjust the flavor by adding more lemon juice if you prefer a more pronounced lemon zest or liquid for a thinner consistency.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries and avocado chunks if you prefer a thicker, chilled smoothie without adding ice.
  • Adjust lemon juice to your liking, starting with half and adding more if desired.
  • Substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk as preferred.
  • The chia seeds add fiber and thickness; if you want a thinner smoothie, reduce the amount or omit them.
  • Adding protein or collagen powder is optional but can boost the smoothie’s nutritional content.
