My Family and Blueberry
I love blueberries’ beautiful blue-ish purple color, but aside from those gorgeous skin inside each blueberry is an excellent antioxidant. This healthy blueberry Smoothie recipe is easy to make, nutritious, insanely delicious, and crowd-pleasing! When my kids were starting on baby foods, and I had to start making home-made applesauce for them, I used to add blueberries. And it made the apple-blueberry sauce taste even better and tastier.
Now, as they are growing, they have continued to enjoy both fresh and frozen blueberry. Relatively, my husband loves it, so this fruit very much.; blueberries and blackberries are his two favorite berries. Bottom line, my household love blueberry fruit, if you don’t like it, I suggest swapping with another fruit of choice.

Make this a Vegan Blueberry Smoothie with One Swap!
Right! You can easily make this smoothie vegan/plant-based! If, for some reason, you do not consume dairy, do not worry. I got you. This easy blueberry smoothie recipe can easily become plant-based at the snap of your fingers. The vegan version would be perfect for you. It is actually my favorite (well, both are, lol)!
Swap the yogurt with coconut yogurt, almond, or soy milk to make this smoothie vegan. The ingredients list will remain the same except for one swap – yogurt. You will need frozen blueberry, frozen bananas, almond or soymilk (replace the yogurt), and orange juice. I also add fresh spinach whenever I make a vegan version. The spinach is optional!
