Description
This easy blueberry smoothie recipe with milk and honey is a delicious, nutrient-packed treat, perfect for a quick breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. It blends simple ingredients into a satisfying, grab-and-go solution.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, (150g)
- 1 cup milk, (240ml)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup ice, (120g) (essential for a frosty chill)
- 0.5 cup plain yogurt, (120g) (optional, for protein and creaminess)
Instructions
- Combine All Ingredients: Add blueberries, milk, honey, ice (if using), and optional yogurt into your high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure lid and blend on high for 30-60 seconds until no lumps remain and consistency is creamy. If too thick, add 1-2 Tbsp more milk.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste and adjust as needed. Add more milk if too thick, more ice if too thin, or more honey for extra sweetness.
Notes
This recipe is very adaptable. Use plant-based milks, maple syrup or agave for honey, or mixed berries. For a healthier option, use unsweetened milk, less honey, or add spinach. Frozen blueberries are great year-round; fresh need more ice. You can prep dry ingredients ahead or blend directly in a travel cup. Avoid over-blending to maintain consistency; ensure enough liquid and scrape sides if needed.
