Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie Base
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries washed and stems removed
  • 1 banana ripe banana peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 1 cup almond milk unsweetened or sweetened as preferred
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, adjust based on sweetness preference
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for added flavor
  • 1 cup ice cubes for a chilled smoothie

Method
 

Prepare the Ingredients
  1. Gather all the ingredients and equipment needed for the smoothie. This includes fresh blueberries, a ripe banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and a blender.
  2. Wash the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and remove any stems. Peel and slice the banana.
Blend the Smoothie
  1. In the blender, add the fresh blueberries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. This combination will create a creamy and flavorful base for your smoothie.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender. The ice will help chill the smoothie and give it a thicker consistency.
  3. Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Serve the Smoothie
  1. Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little more honey and blend again for a few seconds.
  2. Pour the smoothie into serving glasses. You can garnish with a few whole blueberries or a slice of banana on the rim for presentation.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing blueberry smoothie!
