Make this refreshing and nutritious smoothie featuring blueberries, lemon, and chia seeds for a quick breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or water/coconut water)
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 frozen banana (optional, for sweetness/thickness)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 3 ice cubes (optional, for extra coldness)

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender.
  2. Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add liquid one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. If the smoothie is too thin, add a few more frozen blueberries or a couple of ice cubes and blend again.
  6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie or smoothie bowl, reduce the liquid by 1/4 cup or add 1/4 cup of rolled oats before blending.
  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a little more maple syrup or use a whole frozen banana.
  • You can soak the chia seeds in the liquid for 10 minutes before blending to help them gel slightly, which can improve texture.
  • For a protein boost, add one scoop of your preferred vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
