Healthy blueberry smoothie
Although I often reach for a green smoothie in the morning, I’ve been making this blueberry avocado smoothie on repeat lately. It’s full of blueberry flavor, includes a few hidden veggies, and relies on avocado for rich creaminess and healthy omega fats to keep you full longer.
Blueberries are a favorite ingredient here and shine in many recipes, from vegan blueberry donuts to baked oatmeal and healthy muffins. They also work brilliantly in acai bowls for a breakfast spread centered on berries.

Blueberry Avocado Smoothie FAQ
Avocado contributes healthy fats and fiber, along with vitamins and minerals, and helps produce a silky, creamy texture.
Because the smoothie is deep purple from blueberries, any browning in avocado won’t be noticeable.
Yes — freeze ripe avocados by peeling, dicing, and storing in a freezer bag. Frozen avocado works well in smoothies.
You can prepare it about an hour ahead, but it’s best fresh. Overnight storage may thin the texture and dull the flavor.
