Ingredient Substitutions
- Unsweetened almond milk. Any non-dairy milk works well in this recipe. I love using coconut milk for a tropical flavor. You can also use regular dairy milk!
- Frozen blueberries berries. I suggest frozen wild blueberries. Fresh blueberries can be used as well.
- Frozen banana. Fresh bananas (unfrozen) can be used, it just won't be as thick and cold.
- Honey. Maple syrup or agave can be used in place of honey. If your blueberries are very sweet you can omit the sweetener altogether.
- Vanilla protein powder (optional). I love adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder to my smoothies for a protein boost that keeps me full longer. Orgain Vanilla Bean Protein Powder is my favorite - I always have it stocked in my pantry.
- Frozen Spinach (optional). If you want to make this a green blueberry smoothie, simply add some frozen spinach, kale, etc. This is optional!
- Protein powder
- Nut butters
- Chia seeds
- Collagen protein powder
- Greens (dandelion greens, kale, spinach, etc).
- Coconut oil
