Blueberries, spinach, and a sweet taste of honey. This Blueberry Spinach Smoothie makes the perfect on the go breakfast recipe. 

Smoothies make the best breakfast recipe. This Blueberry Spinach Smoothie only has 5 ingredients and is packed with flavor. Blended together to make the perfect breakfast or snack.

Smoothies make the perfect breakfast that can easily be eaten on the go. They are a great way to make a quick and healthy breakfast, when you do not have much time to make a full breakfast.

How to make a Blueberry Spinach Smoothie:

Making this smoothie is pretty simple. You just need to add the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Prep: I find that adding the heavier items to the top like the frozen blueberries makes it all blend better

Otherwise, you get a lot of spinach sitting on top that you will have to mix in during blending.

Blend: Once blended you can serve right away. If you are using fresh blueberries instead of frozen, you may want to chill before serving or add ice to the blender.

Blueberry Spinach Smoothie Ingredients:

For this recipe, I used yogurt, frozen blueberries, spinach, a banana, and honey. The honey is optional, but it sweetens it up a bit.

This is my oldest son’s favorite smoothie. He could have drunk the entire blender! My other two boys loved it as well, so I am sure your whole family will enjoy it too.

If you are not making this for kids, you can throw in some protein powder as a great after workout drink. Protein powder always helps me to stay full longer and really holds me over until lunchtime.

• Vanilla Greek Yogurt – Use your favorite brand, but I highly recommend Greek Yogurt for the added protein benefit.
• Spinach – Cut the stem off as you don’t really need them.
• Frozen Blueberries – Use a frozen natural blueberry, with no added juice or sugars.
• Fresh Banana – adds a great flavor to the smoothie.
• Honey – to taste or add extra sweetness.

Directions:

Step One – Blend together all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

How can I sweeten the smoothie?

Ideally the blueberries, banana and vanilla yogurt will give you the sweetness you desire.

I find that adding a sweetener like honey helps a lot.

Adding a tablespoon of honey will add the sweetness you want, and honey blends really will.

What can you add to smoothies?

Smoothies are a great way to get your kids to eat their daily fruits and veggies! Here are some great additions to smoothies that even the pickiest eaters won’t catch.

• Add some kale to the smoothie. The vitamins and nutrients from these are great for you and your kids. They are not strong so the flavors will not be noticeable in the smoothie.
• Peanut Butter. Add some creamy peanut butter or peanut butter powder for some added protein!
• More Fruit. Add in some strawberries or blueberries for the added antioxidants and nutrients.
