January 3rd!! Let's kick today off with my Banana Blueberry Smoothies which I make basically every morning for breakfast!
If you’re a longtime reader of What’s Gaby Cooking then you’re well aware that I’m all about balance. One day I’m having birthday cake, and the next I’m powering up with a delicious farmers market salad. It’s all about keeping things fresh, balanced and delicious – and it always starts with breakfast!
Banana Blueberry smoothies appear on the regular in the WGC kitchen. They are loaded with superfoods to get me going in the morning and I find that when I start the day on a healthy note, it keeps me energized and happy all day long without loading on the calories! Plus having a healthy, protein filled, breakfast means it’s okay to break off a piece of dark chocolate mid-day for a little sweet treat – because after all, it’s all about balance!! Also, one should never deny themselves some chocolate ☺
You just need a few simple ingredients for this one – a banana, frozen blueberries (using frozen blueberries allows you to cut out the ice so your smoothie doesn’t get watery), a touch of almond milk, a mixture of my favorite seeds and some almond butter for extra protein! The result is a perfectly gorgeous smoothie that will keep you 100% happy until lunch! It also doubles as an epic dessert, just saying!

This is my go to smoothie. So delicious!
Healthy and delicious! This is my go to blueberry smoothie ! I add a scoop of collagen powder too
Drink it every darn day!
Day 3 of drinking Banana Blueberry Smoothie for breakfast. Love it!
My go to smoothie!
Have made this many times and love it! The nut butter I have has chia and flax already in it so that makes it so much easier.
I read somewhere to freeze both the blueberries and the banana to make the smoothie. NOTE TO SELF: Peel the banana before freezing.....
I certainly use frozen blueberries when making this - but I find that a frozen banana makes it too slushy so I just use a fresh, unfrozen PEELED banana 🙂
I have been making this smoothie often and it's amazing!!! I add a scoop of Vanilla Nutrimeal which a great protein and sweetens it a bit. Delish!!! Thank you!!!
Just made this for the first time and I think I’m hooked! Love the almond butter in there and the crunch of the chia seeds. Also added a little protein powder.
I practically make this everyday.
Just tried this for the first time and it was soo good! I had Nuttzo on hand and used that instead of the seeds because it already had chia and flax.
Thanks for a great recipe! Will make again!
This is my favorite smoothie ever...... I make this so much, I am doing to become a blueberry. Thanks Gaby!
you and me BOTH
Going to try this recipe! Love that you can get the ingredients at TJs! Question, Do you happen to know the nutritional value, like how much protein/fiber are in these smoothies? Thank you!
best smoothie ever!!
Sounds like a tasty recipe and one I will definitely be trying. On a side not, it is possible to freeze your smoothie for later consumption. I use a ball glass jar and make sure to leave plenty of space in the jar for expansion.
