Easy Banana Blueberry Smoothie (Print version)

A thick, creamy banana blueberry smoothie made with frozen berries, ripe banana, yogurt, and milk in 5 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For the smoothie

01 - 1 cup (150 g) frozen blueberries
02 - 1 large ripe banana (about 120 g), frozen or chilled and cut into chunks
03 - 1/2 cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
04 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice, plus more as needed
05 - 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
06 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
07 - Pinch of ground cinnamon, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Pour the milk into the blender first, then add the yogurt. This helps the blades move smoothly.
02 - Add the banana chunks and frozen blueberries. Add honey, vanilla, or cinnamon if using.
03 - Blend on high for 30-60 seconds, stopping to scrape or stir if needed, until the smoothie is creamy and evenly purple.
04 - Add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time if the smoothie is too thick. Pour into two glasses and serve right away.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served immediately while cold and thick.
02 - Use frozen banana for the creamiest texture.
03 - Taste before adding sweetener because ripe banana may be enough.
