Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 banana
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions
- Begin by placing the blueberries, grated ginger, banana, Greek yogurt, and milk into a blender. If you like your smoothie on the sweeter side, add honey to taste.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker texture, add a few ice cubes and blend again until the ice is fully crushed.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses, and enjoy the refreshing burst of blueberry and ginger flavors in each sip.
- For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a few whole blueberries and a small sprig of mint.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If fresh blueberries are out of season, use frozen blueberries for just as much flavor and a thicker consistency.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use almond or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
- Serving suggestions: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses to keep it refreshingly cool longer.
Storage and Substitutions
If you have leftover smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. This smoothie is at its best when fresh, so it’s a perfect opportunity to share with family or friends! If you need substitutions, feel free to replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Pairings and Complements
This Blueberry Ginger Smoothie pairs beautifully with a light, fresh snack. Try serving it alongside a crunchy granola bar, a handful of mixed nuts, or a simple fruit salad. It also complements breakfast favorites like whole grain toast with avocado or a bowl of oatmeal.
