Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 small ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons almond butter (smooth, unsweetened)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • Pinch of cinnamon and a tiny pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness if using fresh fruit)

Instructions
 

  • Add liquids first: Pour the almond milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  • Layer the rest: Add blueberries, banana, almond butter, vanilla, and optional cinnamon and salt.
  • Sweeten to taste: Add maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
  • Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  • Adjust texture: Add ice for a thicker, frostier finish, or more milk for a thinner sip. Blend again briefly.
  • Serve immediately: Pour into a cold glass. Top with a few blueberries or a drizzle of almond butter if you like.
