Nora’s Tips
Blender: If you don’t have a high-power blender, make sure to let frozen blueberries thaw on the counter for 10-15 minutes before using. If using ice, crush it before adding to a non-high powdered blender.
Load blender right: If you use frozen ingredients, add the liquids (milk and yogurt here) first, then add the frozen ingredients on top to make it easier on your blender. I thawed the berries for the recipe video, because I wanted them to be the first ingredient you see.
Ingredient Notes:
Milk: Any fat percentage works, but you can also use a dairy-free alternative like almond milk. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk would be great here. Yogurt: Greek vanilla is my favorite, but regular vanilla works, too. So do plain Greek, plain vanilla or blueberry flavored. For a dairy free alternative, add another large banana (or use df yogurt). Berries: Fresh or frozen work. FYI, I always rinse frozen berries really well before adding them to a smoothie, because hygiene. Oats: Leave them out if you want to, but I love the flavor (and fiber) they add. Plus they make a thicker smoothie. Banana: If you don’t like bananas, use another ½ cup yogurt and another ½ cup blueberries instead.Nutrition
