    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    I recently switched to smoothies in the morning because it's a great way to get plenty of protein for breakfast with only a few minimal ingredients! Plus, it only takes about 5 minutes to make which this busy mama appreciates.

    You can also easily double this recipe so you can share with your family! I love that it's blood sugar balancing and keeps me full for 4+ hours! It's one of my favorite smoothies to make in the summer.

    • Made with simple ingredients.
    • It tastes like Blueberry Pie in a cup!
    • This high protein smoothie has about 30 grams of protein per serving!
    • It's a delicious dairy-free smoothie recipe.
    • Takes less than 10 minutes to make.
    • It's low in sugar.
    • Easy to customize for dietary restrictions.
    • It will keep you full for hours thanks to the protein and healthy fats!
    • Enjoy this delicious blueberry protein smoothie as an easy breakfast, meal-replacement, or post-workout snack.

    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients for blueberry protein shake measured out.
    • Frozen Blueberries - To save time and money, I suggest using frozen organic blueberries! Wild blueberries would be delicious too!
    • Cold Water - You can also use coconut water or a non-dairy milk like unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk. Filtered water works great though!
    • Vanilla Protein Powder - My favorite Paleo friendly brands are Amy Myers Vanilla Protein Powder and Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Bone Broth Protein Powder. 
    • Raw Pumpkin Seeds - I love sneaking in extra nutrients with nuts and seeds! Pumpkin seeds make a great addition to this recipe, but you could also try using chia seeds hemp seeds, or flax seeds.
    • Almond Butter - You can use almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, or any nut butter you have on hand!

    Why You Should Buy Organic Blueberries

    Frozen Fruit

    Organic produce can be on the pricier side, but it's much less expensive to purchase frozen fruit! You can find a large bag of organic blueberries for a great price at Costco.

    The Dirty Dozen

    I use the Environmental Working Group's yearly list called the Dirty Dozen when determining if it's worth getting organic or not.

    The list has fruits and vegetables that contain the highest amount of pesticide residue from greatest to least. I always buy organic blueberries because they are all at the top of the Dirty Dozen list.

    The Clean Fifteen

    EWG also provides a list called The Clean Fifteen that has a variety of fruits and vegetables that are safe to purchase nonorganic.

    This list of produce contains very low or no trace of pesticides. Some clean fruits on this list are honeydew melon, kiwi, and pineapple!

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Add Smoothie Ingredients into Blender

    Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender.

    Step 2: Blend Smoothie

    Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy!

    Expert Tips

    • If your smoothie is too thin, add more frozen bananas or ice for a super thick and creamy texture.
    • If you don't like thick smoothies, add a little extra water or dairy-free milk.
    • Use cold water not room temperature.
    • Freeze leftover smoothie in silicone ice cube trays to use for later!
    • Use a high-speed blender for this recipe. If you only have a food processor on hand, you can use that too!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is it good to put fruits in a protein shake?

    Yes! Using fruit is a great way to add more health benefits to a protein shake. Blueberries provide extra nutrients, fiber, and natural sweetness.

    Are Blueberry Protein Shakes good for you?

    My blueberry protein shake recipe is definitely good for you! It's a great source of protein which is an essential nutrient. It's also loaded with healthy fat from the almond butter and pumpkin seeds.

    The combination of protein, fat, and fiber will help keep you full and satisfied for hours!

    What fruits can I put in a protein shake?

    I prefer using lower sugar fruit options like raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, or mixed berry blends! You could also use sweeter fruits like mango, pineapple, or bananas.

    If you love protein shakes, make sure you try my Dairy-Free Chocolate Protein Shake!

    Recipe Variations

    • You can easily swap the frozen blueberries for frozen strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend to switch up the flavor!
    • For a nut-free alternative, try using Sunflower Butter.
    • Add a ¼ cup of plain or vanilla coconut yogurt to make it taste more like a blueberry cheesecake smoothie! If you're not dairy-free, you can add cottage cheese or Greek yogurt.
    • Pour into silicone ice cream molds to make quick and easy blueberry protein ice cream bars!
    • To make a smoothie bowl, add an extra ½ cup of frozen blueberries to make it thick enough to eat with a spoon! (Blend on low until smooth and creamy.)

    How to store leftovers

    Store leftovers in a glass cup with a lid like a mason jar in the refrigerator or freezer. (It will not stay as thick in the refrigerator.)

    You can also make smoothie ice cubes by pouring leftovers into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze for later! (Or meal prep by doubling the recipe!)

    Blend the frozen cubes with a non-dairy milk for a quick and easy smoothie.

      I just made this for my son and it was absolutely amazing. I used non-sweetened vanilla almond milk instead of water. We will definitely be making this often. Thanks for the recipe!
