Blueberry Smoothie
With the US blueberry season here again, our supermarkets are once again well stocked with cheap and fresh blueberries. I bought mine at S$2.50 a punnet. As usual, I couldn’t resist buying more punnets of blueberries than I possibly need, and so I thought of putting the excess to good use by making this blueberry smoothie. The drink is quite chunky and filling on its own because of the yoghurt and milk. This drink can make for a light and healthy breakfast, or an in-between meals snack.

Ingredients
(Makes one tall glass about 250ml, or 2 short glasses for dessert)- 150g low fat plain or vanilla flavoured yogurt
- 125g fresh blueberries
- 100ml milk
- 2 tsp honey (optional; I omit this because I like the natural sourness of the blueberries)Directions
1. Blend everything together in a blender.
Tips
1. If you like some blueberry bits in the smoothie like I do, just blend for a few seconds. If not, blend a little longer.
2. Adjust the milk for the consistency you like – less milk for thicker smoothie, and more milk for less thick.
3. You can also add in one ripe banana in the blend for extra sweetness.

I have blueberry smoothie every morning and substituted the milk for almond milk.
so healthy! and I think the hint of almond is nice :)
That looks really yummy. I might have to try making this one day! :D
hope you like it DD :)
Wow. Nice drink! I like u matching with all the purples. The combination is great!
It is berry and cherry season in the US…Yessss! Peaches and plums too….I had my share before I came back. You know me – fresh berries usually cannot last for me to make smoothies as such. Maybe I can try frozen berries for shakes and smoothies and keep the fresh ones to send straight into my stomach. Heh heh….
I like that those bits in your smoothie :)
oh you’re back already! so fast! and lucky you. yes good idea to freeze them … maybe I should start freezing some blueberries for muffins :)
It’s great when blueberries are cheap. We tend to buy a lot when they are on sale.
A favourite smoothie of mine.
I bought a few punnets from NTUC too! But we ate it on it’s own as I’m too lazy to prepare them in other ways.
Those smoothies looks so refreshing!
How I wish it was blueberry season in Sydney – they are prohibitively expensive now. Could I use frozen berries for this?
Yes you can! come December, when it’s winter in US, Australia will be filled with summer produce like these blueberries :)
Definitely a great breakfast pick me up drink. Guess what, I still have loads of blueberries from the last season (haha)! So I won’t be buying any this time round that’s for sure.
omg …. last season! hehe
I love blueberries, your ingredients are so simple and easy :D must make this for my family. Thanks!
hope your family likes it :)
Mmm…refreshing, healthy and delicious. When summer comes, I’ll be making more of this.
I must look for it during my weekend shopping, see if I manage to find it here.
Love your photos, gorgeous!
I’ve been drinking blueberry smoothies every day for the past two weeks! I love blueberry season! I never made mine with milk. These look creamy and delicious!
everyday! :O I will check out your recipe :)
Oh the pictures are so gorgeous! Love love love! And yeah my family’s been raving about how cheap the blueberries are right now. I have a sudden urge to rush out and buy all the ingredients!
Perfect for this time of the year…blueberries in season…it sure look so refreshing :-)
Sure is blueberry season in the US! I just bought a big container of it along with strawberries. I’ve been making smoothies too :)
Just got back from a holiday where I had watermelon smoothie, mango smoothie and a ‘Mars Bar’ smoothie – love smoothies. This blueberry smoothie looks divine. Is the straw too thin for the smoothie?
Mars Bar smoothie … sounds interesting. Ya a little … for photography purposes only ;) :P
Yum, I love berry season and smoothies-both a are good (smile). I don’t have blueberries, but maybe I could make this with my cherries??
Yes I think you can! :-)
Wiffy, this is my type of drink too! A bit like blueberry lassi … or maybe it is! Haha! I saw punnets of blueberries on sale at Cold Storage … was hesitating if I should get them to make something … Maybe I should. *Sigh*
I’m never good at differentiating milkshake, smoothie and lassi … hey make it soon, don’t think anymore, hehe
Wow, great job here. Awesome picture too! You should really consider submitting this to Recipe4Living’s Summertime Sipper Contest! It looks delicious!
I substituted the vanilla yoghurt for vanilla ice cream
It tastes delicious!
