This fruity smoothie recipe combines fresh blueberries, banana, creamy Greek yogurt, and almond butter to create a fresh and filling smoothie that’s perfect for weekday breakfasts. It has a bright purple color that is as beautiful as it is delicious, with a flavor profile that takes cues from PB&J. You can prep all of the ingredients ahead of time, throw them into zip-top baggies, and stash them in the freezer. This way all you have to do is throw the ingredients into the blender, add almond milk, and blend it up.
How to Make This Smoothie Vegan
To make this smoothie vegan, all you have to do is swap out the Greek yogurt for a vegan yogurt made with coconut milk, almond milk, or any other non-dairy substitute. Or you can simply omit the yogurt all together. To compensate, just increase the amount of almond milk from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup and add more if needed. The smoothie won’t have the same tangy flavor, but it will be just as delicious.

Nutritional Info
Ingredients
- 1
medium banana
- 2 cups
(1 pint) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup
plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons
almond butter
- 1/2 cup
unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
Garnish options: blueberries and almond butter
Instructions
Peel and slice 1 medium banana and add it to a quart sized zip-top bag. Add 2 cups blueberries (1 pint), 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 2 tablespoons almond butter. Seal the bag and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours and up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, transfer the frozen ingredients into a blender and add 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. (If the frozen fruit has stuck together, lightly hit it against the counter while still in the bag to break it up before adding it to the blender.)
Blend on high speed until very smooth, 30 to 60 seconds, adding more almond milk if needed to thin it out. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with blueberries and almond butter, if desired. Serve immediately.
