Ingredient Notes
This list is not complete. Please see the recipe card at the end of the post for the complete ingredient list with measurements and detailed instructions.
- Frozen blueberries. Blueberries are one of the most antioxidant rich, disease-fighting foods you can eat. It’s recommended that you eat at least one serving of berries a day for your health and what better way to do it than a delicious berry smoothie.
- Plant-based Protein Powder. To boost the flavour, sweetness and protein content, I used 1 serving of vegan vanilla protein powder.
- Chia seeds. Chia seeds are such nutrient-rich little powerhouses I decided to give hemp seeds and break and go with chia for this smoothie. I used 1 tbsp and I wouldn’t recommend adding more or the texture gets kinda weird as the blended chia absorbs the liquid. Chia seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and niacin.
- Cinnamon. Cinnamon adds a blueberry pie-ish flavour and who doesn’t love cinnamon, am I right? Plus, ceylon cinnamon has anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-stabilizing properties.
- Lemon. I used 3 tbsp of fresh lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest to add the beautiful pop of flavour to this smoothie. I don’t know what it is about blueberries and lemon but it just works! I’ve also used lime in this recipe and it’s really good too.
- Frozen banana. I added half a frozen banana for that creaminess you can’t beat as well as extra sweetness, potassium, folate, fibre, B6 and manganese.
What Liquid to Use
I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any plant milk you like, coconut water or just plain, old water. I’d recommend sticking to a plant-based milk for this one though. Cashew milk, carton coconut milk, oat milk, hemp milk or almond milk are all good choices.

This amazing most delicious smoothie has been driving my parents and siblings and I crazy for more, this so good that I’ve been making more of your recipes more often.
Could you replace the protein powder with Greek yogurt?
I’ve never tried it but that should be fine! I would suggest vanilla yogurt though since the protein sweetens the smoothie so it won’t be very sweet without it. Up to you though if you don’t mind that.
