Blueberry Banana Smoothie

This bangin’ Blueberry Banana Smoothie is so good, you’ll swear you’re having dessert for breakfast – and it’s dairy-free!

I’ve never been much of a smoothie person. Not that I don’t enjoy a good smoothie, it’s more the ingredient planning, time investment, and appliance cleanup that deterred me from making smoothies before heading out the door to work.

Now that working from home is my new normal, so has the occasional breakfast smoothie. And this Blueberry Banana Smoothie has quickly become one of my favorites. Plus, it’s dairy-free! Great for those who can’t have dairy, are looking to cut down on dairy intake, or just want to explore the wonders of canned coconut milk. I gotta say, the thick, rich, creamy texture of canned coconut milk makes this one heavenly smoothie.

How do you make a Blueberry Banana Smoothie?

You will need the following ingredients to make this dairy-free blueberry banana smoothie:

• 1 very ripe banana
• 1 heaping cup frozen blueberries*
• 1/3 cup coconut milk**
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain. If you have a smoothie setting on your blender, use that.
2. Pour into a glass, sip, and enjoy.

*If you have fresh blueberries, you can just freeze them overnight so they are ready to go in the morning.

**I used Wild Harvest Organic Coconut Milk.

Added bonus, maybe… Blending this beautiful Blueberry Banana Smoothie in the morning is a sure-fire way to annoy a sleeping spouse. Highly recommended if you’re feeling passive-aggressive.

“I can’t help the fact that the most fun kitchen gadgets are the noisiest, JIM.” (Kidding, love you! Have a smoothie!).

Why blueberry and banana?

Why not? I think bananas are probably the BEST smoothie ingredient, because not only do they add sweetness (especially when you use a nice ripe banana like the one pictured above), they have the perfect texture. Bananas create a smoothie with a texture that is beautifully smooth, creamy, and thick.

Blueberries have a tart sweetness that offer a beautiful balance when paired with bananas. It’s a lovely flavor combination that lets you enjoy the flavor of both fruits in one delicious smoothie. Plus both blueberry and banana play well with coconut milk, creating one bangin’ dairy-free Blueberry Banana Smoothie.
