Making a blueberry smoothie with almond milk is one of my faaavorite ways to start the day.
Blueberries are low in sugar content and full of anti-oxidants.
This recipe is to make 2 smoothies so you have one ready the next day as well!
Did you know you could meal prep smoothies?
If you are going to have your smoothie within 24 hours then you can batch make 2 at a time. This has been a game changer for me and my morning routine (the days I have a smoothie meal prepped.)
I always make a double batch of smoothies and store them in a mason jar with the re-usable mason jars lids- so I can grab and go.
If you can't have your smoothie within 24 hours you can always freeze the second one and then thaw it in the fridge for about 12 hours when you're ready for it.
What do you need to make this low carb blueberry smoothie:
- Almond Milk
- Banana (fresh or frozen)
- Frozen Blueberries
- Frozen Cauliflower
- Fresh Spinach
- Almond Butter or nut butter of choice
- Vanilla Protein Powder
- Hemp Seeds
- Cinnamon
Optional:
If you like your smoothies thicker + an extra dose of fiber I love to add Psyllium Husk or Chia Seeds. This absorbs some water from the smoothie and makes it perrrrfect to serve in a bowl with a spoon and toppings.
Substitutions:
No protein powder? Add a cup of plain full fat Greek yogurt
No hemp seeds? Try ground flax seeds
No almond milk? Use any nut milk or just water
You can completely omit frozen cauliflower if you like!
To make this a keto blueberry smoothie:
Omit the banana and increase the frozen cauliflower. This will make it much more tart.
How to make this blueberry smoothie with almond milk:
