Optional Add-Ins

Collagen Peptides

Collagen peptides dissolve easily into smoothies without affecting the flavor. They’re an easy way to add extra protein while supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints. This is the collagen that I love.

Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is nearly flavorless, making it simple to add to your daily smoothie. Many people enjoy adding it to support strength, recovery, and muscle performance. This is the creaine that I use.

Greens Powder

Mix in a scoop of your favorite greens supplement for additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The blueberry flavor pairs especially well with greens. This is the greens supplement I always have on hand.

Fresh Spinach

A handful of baby spinach blends right into this smoothie without overpowering the blueberry flavor, making it an easy way to eat more vegetables.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Protein Smoothie

Frozen blueberries create the thickest, creamiest smoothie.
Add extra ice for a frostier texture.
Use wild blueberries for an even more intense blueberry flavor.
Blend for an extra 15 seconds for an ultra-smooth consistency.
Adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup if needed.

Easy Variations

Blueberry Banana Protein Smoothie

Add half a frozen banana for a sweeter, creamier smoothie.

Mixed Berry Protein Smoothie

Replace half the blueberries with strawberries or raspberries.

Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Blend in 2 ounces of light cream cheese for a rich cheesecake-inspired flavor.

Lemon Blueberry Protein Smoothie

Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest for a bright, refreshing twist.

Peanut Butter Blueberry Smoothie

Blend in 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter for extra richness and protein.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh blueberries?

Yes! Fresh blueberries work well, but you’ll want to add an extra 1/2 cup of ice to keep the smoothie thick and cold.

What protein powder works best?

Vanilla protein powder complements the blueberries beautifully, but unflavored or blueberry-flavored protein powder also works well. I use this vanilla flavored protein powder.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely. Use your favorite dairy-free yogurt in place of Greek yogurt.

How much protein is in this smoothie?

Depending on the protein powder and yogurt you choose, this smoothie contains approximately 30-40 grams of protein, with even more if you add collagen peptides.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.
