This blueberry banana smoothie recipe takes minutes to make with just 5 simple ingredients: spinach, almond milk, frozen banana, frozen blueberries and vegan vanilla protein powder.
You really can’t go wrong with a blueberry and banana combo, you know? Blueberries add the nutritional punch, frozen banana adds the ultimate creaminess and vegan protein powder adds the protein to round out those carbs. I’d recommend adding a source of fat as a topping to help balance it further.

Best Smoothie Bowl Toppings
Ah, my favourite topic. Smoothie bowl toppings! This is where it gets fun. Here are the best toppings for smoothies bowls:
- nuts: almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios
- seeds: hemp seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds
- nut butters: peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, homemade or store-bought
- seed butters: tahini, sunflower seed butter
- dried fruit: goji berries, mulberries, chopped dates, rasins, chopped figs, chopped prunes
- fats: cacao nibs, flaked coconut, shredded coconut, coconut butter
Smoothie Add-Ins
Another fun part of creating smoothies is blending in extras. These are totally optional as you’re already getting a ton of nutrition from the blueberries however, if you don want to give yourself a little boost here are my favourite superfoods to add to smoothies:
- handful of spinach or kale
- spoonful of ground flax
- superfood powders: morniga, spirulina, chlorella, camu camu
- adaptogenic herbs: maca, ashwagandha, holy basil, rhodiola, shativari, schizandria
- medicinal mushroom: chaga, lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi

Is there anything you can replace the banana with? I have tried, but I detest bananas, and can still taste it even when blended up with everything else. Probably all in my head, but it stops me enjoying it! Any suggestions? Thanks. 🙂
Yep, you can use peach, sweet potato, a mix of zucchini and cauliflower…there are lots of options. Do you have my smoothie e-book? It has lots of ideas for banana-free smoothies!
Looks yummy, I hope my kids like it! 🙂
I hope they do to!
This bowl is really similar to a smoothie I drink in the mornings but I add in some chia seeds and hemp seeds to blend up too! Always love a good smoothie bowl too though 🙂
I usually add some seeds too, chia, hemp or flax. Sometimes as a smoothie, sometimes as a smoothie bowl! Both are so good!
This looks delicious! I love trying new smoothie bowl recipes.
