It’s a delightful twist on a typical blueberry smoothie. After all, who doesn’t love a Blueberry Muffin?! Psst…it’s also packed to the brim with gluten-free, dairy-free nutrition!

About this Blueberry Smoothie

Seriously. This Blueberry Muffin Smoothie is SO good for you. You’ve got your superfood blueberries, of course, but it also comes with protein-and-fiber-rich, cholesterol-lowering oats and raw walnuts, which get blended smooth so you hardly notice them.

It’s more than just a healthy way to start your day, though. It’s also one of our most popular smoothie recipes with kids! A poll between various smoothie flavors was taken of our own children and some neighbor kids (ranging from ages 8-14) and this one rose to the top as the fave. That’s because we’ve taken our blueberry smoothie game to the next level by adding basic ingredients of the much loved Blueberry Muffin itself.

Why Eat Blueberries?

Blueberries are a powerhouse of nutrition, if you haven’t heard.

They are believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables. Several studies suggest that blueberries reduce DNA damage, which is a leading driver of aging and cancer.

Regular blueberry intake is tied to lower blood pressure in numerous studies and the antioxidants in blueberries seem to benefit your brain by aiding brain function and delaying mental decline. (Source)

How to Make Blueberry Smoothie Freezer Packs

What are freezer smoothie packs?

Only the best, most genius idea ever. You’ll simply toss most of your smoothie ingredients in a freezer bag/container to have on hand in the freezer. (Be sure to follow our layering instructions.) Then you can throw together a delicious, nutrient dense smoothie for breakfast, as a snack, or as a meal replacement anytime.

Having the main ingredients for your smoothie on hand in the freezer in individual packs means healthy eating is right at your fingertips anytime. Both of us have become smoothie addicts since starting to prep freezer smoothie packs ahead. Just be sure to follow our instructions in the recipe to layer them perfectly.

Since we are tongue and cheek, “freezer cooking evangelists”, it shouldn’t be a surprise that we have mastered the art of making smoothie packs in bulk and freezing them. This smoothie-making hack will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. We also find that we are much more likely to make a smoothie when the ingredients are already pulled together and all we have to do is add liquid.

To make this recipe a smoothie pack, simply follow our freezing instructions given below in the recipe. We prefer to make 4 smoothie packs at a time to save time and money.

Here is a quick video to show you how easily they come together!

Want to cut down on plastic bag use? Try these reusable silicone bags. We’ve personally tested these bags for weeks now. I’ve found them to be easy to rinse out and dry, and they do not leak. They seem well made and worth the investment.

Reusable quart sized bags. Great for smoothie packs.

What’s the Best Blender for Smoothies?

If you plan to make lots of smoothies, we’d recommend investing in a high powered blender. Cheaper blenders can sort of do the job, but you’ll get a much better texture with a high-powered blender. My affordable single serving Ninja blender works very well for our single serving smoothies recipes, since it pulverizes everything and fits the ingredients perfectly.

If you want to make large batches of smoothies, I’d recommend saving up for the Vitamix blender. You can find very good refurbished versions on Amazon that will last a long time. My basic refurbished Vitamix lasted over five years with daily use. There really is a huge difference between a cheaper blender and a higher powered one. Save up and get one!

With a high-powered blender like this one or this one on hand, along with a few simple ingredients, your family will enjoy this easy, healthy blueberry smoothie for breakfast or a snack anytime.

    I have never had a Smoothie because of my disliking milk, yogurt, almond milk, coconut milk etc. What can be substituted and how do I do this?

      This one has no yogurt in it and you can replace the milk with water (although I really don’t think you’ll taste the plain almond milk if you use it). The predominant flavors of this one are blueberry and hint of almond butter. I also like to add a tiny splash of vanilla extract and a little cinnamon (so good!).

    can you give me ideas on how to turn these smoothies into lowering cholesterol

      Hi Debbie. These are already low in cholesterol and filled with good-for-you ingredients like nuts/nut butters (use the no salt kind), fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. I hope you enjoy them and they bring you good health in 2022.
