Green & Blueberry Smoothie
I make this green & blueberry smoothie pretty much every morning of my life – and have been doing so for a long time. I’m not kidding. I am obsessed with it!
For me, it’s the perfect breakfast smoothie – it’s like a green smoothie, only better.
I have a major obsession with blueberries, in fact if I could only eat only 1 food for the rest of my life I would choose blueberries. Blueberries are simply amazing – not only do they taste like heaven, they are also packed full of nutrients.
Blueberries are high in fibre, low in calories and are packed with vitamins C, K, E and B. These little berries also have a low glycemic index which supports steady energy AND they are full of antioxidants. Blueberries are really good for promoting healthy glowing skin & they are great for maintaining a healthy heart as well as a healthy brain.
I created this smoothie to combine my love for green smoothies and my love for blueberries. I use my classic green smoothie recipe as the base and then add blueberries! It’s a super simple, gorgeous breakfast smoothie.
I love this smoothie so much because it makes me feel absolutely incredible – like I can take on anything that gets thrown my way! I always have sustained energy for hours after sipping on one of these for breakfast.
This recipe is 100% healthy, sugar-free, dairy-free, soy-free and plant-based.
It’s also really easy to add good plant-based protein and extra healthy fats to this smoothie… see my suggestions below.
I hope that you love drinking this green & blueberry smoothie as much as I do! Much love xo
