About Blueberry Smoothie
Blueberry Smoothie is a healthy and nutritious breakfast drink made using frozen blueberry, banana, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract and honey. There are a lot of variation that you can make to this smoothie. You can include other fruits of your choice like orange, pineapple etc.
This blueberry smoothie has become our family favourite especially with kids. To break their daily routine of dosa or idli for breakfast I make this smoothie and they just love it. I always have a stock of frozen blueberries and banana for this smoothie sake.
The extra tip of making any smoothie creamy and thick is to use frozen fruits. Banana gives extra creaminess to the smoothie so do not miss adding them. Yogurt and milk balances the consistency to a perfect drink.
Some add wheat grass to smoothies, if you can source them then use it. You can even add a teaspoon of chia seeds. I have used honey for sweetener you can even use maple syrup or dates. Use any natural sweetener to make the smoothie more healthy.
