    There's simply nothing better than starting the day with a good smoothie, and this Blueberry Almond Milk Smoothie is a great smoothie! Loaded with antioxidants, a nice hit of natural sugars to get you powered up with some energy first thing, and filling enough to keep you going until lunch. This always goes down a treat in our house, especially with the kids because of that bright, beautiful color!

    Look at all these beautiful ingredients needed for this blueberry and almond milk smoothie.

    Blueberry Almond Milk Smoothie

    This blueberry almond milk smoothie is loaded with all good things: blueberries, almond butter, almond milk and a little bit of maple syrup. Add in a little bit of protein powder and you are good to go.

    It is:

    • dairy-free;
    • gluten-free;
    • grain-free;
    • paleo;
    • vegan;
    • and vegetarian.

    Always a hit with the kids, and really filling thanks to 2 nice big spoonfuls of almond butter.

    ingredients for blueberry almond milk smoothie in a blender
    1. Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender.
    completely blended blueberry almond milk smoothie
    2. Blend well until everything is combined and your have a gorgeous popping colored smoothie.

    Can I Make This Nut Free?

    Absolutely.

    Smoothies are the perfect vehicle for using your imagination and trying something different. Try these in place of the nut milks and butters:

    • cow's milk
    • oat milk
    • rice milk
    • soy milk
    • tahini
    • sunbutter
    • coconut butter

    Don't be afraid to change things up and make it your own, you really can't go wrong.

    What Do You Need For The Perfect Smoothie?

    Smoothies are so much easier to make if you have a really good high powered blender.

    This is especially so when you move to green smoothies, as you really want those greens pulverized, as there is nothing worse than bits in your smoothie (unless those bits are granola!)

    I have had my Vitamix for years and highly recommend it. My mum has a Ninja which I use when I stay at her place, and it is pretty good too (but I love my Vitamix.)

    You will also need some reusable straws for slurping that goodness up! Especially if you are giving the smoothie to kids as you don't want them spilling bright purple smoothie everywhere - that stuff stains!!

    More Smoothie Ideas.

    Once you have tried out the blueberry almond milk smoothie you are going to need some more to add to your repertoire.

    Try these out for size:

    • Peaches and Greens Power Smoothie
    • Pomegranate Kale and Coconut Smoothie
    • Banana Cinnamon Roll Smoothie
    • Fennel Frond and Pineapple Smoothie
    • Beetroot Powder Smoothie from Sweet Caramel Sunday

    Happy Drinking

      Congratulations, I really like your site and I am more inspired by you for my own creativity. I wanted to thank you for a number of useful and tasty recipes. Most recently, I used this recipe to make breakfast for my family. Ohhhh Husband and children are delighted. Thanks for the help. After changing a couple of categories in the recipe, I also created my own, I hope you will appreciate and understand what has become my muse and passion in cooking! Thank.

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
