Blueberry Smoothie – This insanely easy Blueberry Coconut Milk Smoothie takes 5 Minutes and 4 Ingredients. All that you need is a Blender and an appetite for Breakfast! An ideal breakfast drink for someone with lactose intolerance!

Are Blueberry Smoothie good for you?
Smoothies are extremely good for you and a great way to start your day. A typical blueberry smoothie is made with blueberries ( fresh or frozen ), greek yogurt, milk and ice. Low in Calories and High in Calcium!
You can make the healthy blueberry drink all the more healthier, by adding some of the super foods like chia seeds, cacao, flax seeds, protein powder etc.
Since the beginning of this year, we have been on a Smoothie Drive, Detoxing often, enjoying a low carb meal and enjoying small portions of healthy snacks regularly.This new initiative does push me to experiment and invent onto new meals & drinks that have been undiscovered at my end. We have always enjoyed Mango Lassi !!
VARIATIONS TO SOME AMAZING BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE
I do make at least a few varieties of this easy breakfast smoothie, like the
Blueberry Smoothie Banana – Add blueberries, banana, apple juice and some greek yogurt to a blender and whizz until smooth.
Blueberry Smoothie Spinach – Blueberry Smoothie with Spinach can be prepared by adding some spinach, strawberries, greek yogurt, blueberries & sweetener to a blender and whizz smooth.
Almond Milk Blueberry Smoothie – For Vegan Smoothie Lovers, Almond milk is a great alternative to greek yogurt & milk.
INGREDIENTS FOR MY BLUEBERRY COCONUT SMOOTHIE DRINK
Blueberries – Frozen or Fresh – both works really well. If you are using Frozen Blueberries, you may leave out ice from the recipe.
Coconut Milk – Coconut milk adds creaminess to the smoothie.
Maple Syrup – Alternate sweetener could be honey. But in that case, this blueberry smoothie will not be vegan
Water & Ice
Vanilla Extract adds a great touch to the drink. But it is optional too.
Some of the Liquid Substitutes for your Smoothie are
Apple Juice
Almond Milk
Soy Milk
Skimmed Milk
HOW DO YOU MAKE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE?
Well, simply place fresh blueberries, coconut milk, maple syrup, ice cubes in a high speed blender and blitz until really smooth.
We generally have a mental block, feeling and enjoying the comfort as usual. Stepping out of the comfort zone, moving on with habits is hard, but not impossible !! Here’s my new take on a smoothie for coconut lovers like us.

What a fun smoothie. I actually have half a pack of blueberries left and would love to make similar for breakfast with the kiddoes.

Ooo so pretty reminds me of love portions 🙂
Coconut milk and blueberry that should be awesome.
they are unusually fab combo together. am loving coconut milk in a lot of things now.
Beautiful shade of violet and as usual captured at its best.
thanks Sowmya..they taste fab too.
Love the color, photographs(love it more than your bright ones ), and the vegan part. It’s the best for lactose intolerant people like me.
thanks Dol.This set of images were a gamble to my take. I wanted to stick to monotones rather than contrasting colors. So glad to see it working.

Awesome awesome awesome color!!!
Going to make this tomorrow, I will omit the maple syrup though as low carb diet for PCOS right now, but thanks for the idea.
