There is no easier breakfast than a smoothie and this Healthy Blueberry Banana Smoothie can be everyone’s favorite. The color will obviously make the kids want some.
It is simply delicious, healthy and loaded with antioxidants thus a quick breakfast option for any smoothie lover. It is also very filling and full of nutrition. Whenever there is a blueberry sale, I take the opportunity to stock up these fruits for smoothies and some muffins.
You can make it extra healthy by adding in some chia seed or spinach or even protein powder.
Incase you have lots of blueberries at hand and need to use in another recipe, try these Blueberry muffins.
Blueberry Banana Smoothie Ingredients:
Blueberries are known to be a great source of antioxidants and they help fight cancer, lower blood pressure and boost heart health.
Bananas on the other hand are not only sweet, creamy & delicious but also a great source of potassium and magnesium which are also vital in heart and gut health.
Flaxseeds are high in fiber, protein and omega 3s. You can use them whole or even ground. They are best absorbed ground.
Milk is high in calcium and protein which are vital for breaking a fast.
Yoghurt is also high in calcium, protein and prebiotics and helps thicken the smoothie.
Making the smoothie:
Basically you need a handful of ingredients to have this smoothie ready. You can use fresh ingredients instead of frozen then add in some ice if you love your smoothie cold. However, this is not a must. Make it your own! Incase you are going dairy free, you can use almond milk or any other nut milk and some coconut yoghurt.
Remember to blend till smooth as per how your blender works.
Serve and enjoy.
