Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie Ingredients

peanut butter blueberry ingredients with text overlay
  • Blueberries: When fresh blueberries are in season, we would recommend using them, however; if all you have on hand are frozen, feel free to use these! If you are using frozen blueberries, initially omit the ice and only add in if the smoothie isn’t icy enough.
  • Frozen Bananas: Frozen banana helps create a smooth and thick drink while adding a natural sweetness.
  • Peanut Butter: We recommend using an unsweetened natural smooth peanut butter or sub in your favorite nut or seed butter.
  • Almond or Oat Milk: We make our smoothies with unsweetened almond milk to help keep the calories lower and for a neutral taste. But if you prefer oat milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk feel free to use these instead.
  • Protein Powder: You can use whatever kind you like. I have made this with vanilla (which is sweetened with stevia) and unsweetened collagen peptides and both are great. If you’re using an unsweetened protein, or you opt to skip it altogether you may need to add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey to help sweeten the smoothie.
  • Ice: Helps to thicken up the texture and keep the smoothie super cold. If using frozen blueberries, feel free to skip as the smoothie should be icy enough.

FAQs and Expert Tips

Can you make this smoothie with frozen blueberries?

Yes, simply omit the ice at first, blend and if it isn’t icy enough add the ice and blend again.

Can you make smoothies in advance?

Smoothies are best when freshly blended as the frozen components will melt and make the texture watery and thin. If you want to prep it ahead follow our meal prep instructions.

Make Ahead, Leftovers, and Freezing

  • Make Ahead: To meal prep this smoothie combine the blueberries, bananas and protein powder (but omit the ice) in a 1-quart freezer bag. Freeze up to 1 month. When ready to enjoy, blend with the milk and peanut butter. If the texture is icy enough, do not add the ice but if it seems thin you can add the ice and blend again.
  • Leftovers: Freeze any leftover smoothie in popsicle molds for a healthy snack later on.

Variations to Try

  • Not a fan of peanut butter? Use any nut or seed butter of your choice! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter would be tasty choices.
  • Feel free to use any type of milk.
  • Add in boosts, like at your favorite smoothie bar! Try hemp seeds, grated turmeric root or fresh ginger, flax meal, chia seeds, or bee pollen!

Notes

If you make this without the protein or yours is unsweetened you can add 1 teaspoon honey or another sweetener such as monk fruit. If you are not sure, try the smoothie first, then blend in sweetener if you feel it needs additional sweetness.
