Creamy Blueberry Smoothie

This Creamy Blueberry Smoothie is more than just a pretty purple drink—it’s a powerhouse breakfast or snack that’s refreshing, energizing, and incredibly satisfying. Blended with frozen blueberries, coconut yogurt, plant-based protein, and hydrating coconut water, this smoothie delivers a cool, creamy texture and vibrant flavor that feels like a treat—but fuels your body like a pro.

Whether you’re starting your day, recovering from a workout, or just want something light but nourishing, this smoothie has you covered.

A Smoothie That Does More Than Taste Good

There are a million smoothie recipes out there—but this one is designed to work with your body. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, packed with fiber, and loaded with antioxidants from blueberries, chia seeds, and lemon. The coconut yogurt adds creaminess and gut-friendly probiotics, while the banana brings natural sweetness and staying power.

The addition of vanilla protein powder turns this into a balanced meal or post-workout recovery drink—and yes, flavor matters. My go-to is Truvani—a plant-based protein powder that’s free of dairy, artificial sweeteners, gums, or weird fillers. You can find it online or at Whole Foods.
