Tip
Make ahead and enjoy the blueberry smoothie later. Prepare it as described in the recipe, pour each serving into a sealable freezer bag or an airtight container, and pop it into the freezer. When you want to drink it, let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours and give it a quick blitz with the blender before serving. If you want to serve more blueberry smoothies, you simply double or triple the amounts in the recipe.
Tip
Use the recipe to make fun blueberry popsicles. The sweet ice treats are a hit with both kids and adults and are quite easy to make. Pour the smoothie mixture into popsicle moulds and freeze until firm.

Add sweet vanilla skyr for a creamy consistency
The key to any good smoothie is getting the right texture. Many recipes use milk or yoghurt to achieve a creamy consistency. But for this blueberry smoothie, we find that skyr works so much better. Skyr is an Icelandic-style cultured yoghurt with a much thicker and creamier texture than regular yoghurt, giving the mixture a wonderful heavenly creaminess that will melt in your mouth. Instead of adding plain skyr, we opt for one with a sweet vanilla flavour that pairs perfectly with the fresh blueberries, giving you a sweet vanilla blueberry smoothie.
Serve a blueberry banana smoothie all day
A vanilla blueberry smoothie with banana is the perfect drink all day, every day, no matter where you are. Whether you are late for work or school in the morning, in need of a quick lunch, a pick-me-up afternoon delight, a fresh dessert in the evening, or a fresh snack after a workout, you can never go wrong with a frozen drink like this. Add all the ingredients into a blender and watch the magic happen as everything is blended into a wonderful creamy purple mixture in a matter of seconds. Pour the drink into a travel mug or water bottle and take it with you on the go.
Make it your own
With plenty of options for customising this banana blueberry smoothie recipe, there is something for everyone to love. To enhance the flavours in the drink, add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a few fresh mint leaves and blend with the other ingredients. It will give your drink a bright, refreshing taste with a hint of citrus and cooling mint.
For a more decadent serving, you can add a handful of oats and a tablespoon of honey for more sweetness and blend everything. Garnish with a light sprinkling of oats and a few blueberries and relish the drink with a thick straw. The combination of wholesome and fresh ingredients makes the mixture taste like a sweet blueberry muffin in a glass, making it even more perfect for breakfast or lunch.
