Paleo Blueberry Smoothie
Servings 2 small smoothies
This fruit-sweetened and healthy paleo blueberry smoothie is vegan, grain-free and gluten-free! With a little added lemon and vanilla for extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (I've tried with almond, coconut and dairy milk)
- 1 1/2 cups (210 grams) blueberries fresh or frozen
- 2 (130 grams) bananas medium cold or frozen and partially thawed ripe, without the peel
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional (you won't need this if your bananas are ripe and blueberries are sweet)
- 1/2 cup (45 grams) rolled or quick oats this is to create a thicker more filling version (use gluten-free oats, if necessary) - omit for grain-free/paleo
Instructions
- Blend everything together, except for the maple syrup, in a blender until well combined.
- Taste and add more lemon juice, if desired, and the maple syrup if it's not sweet enough.
Notes
- You can also use another sweetener. I think coconut sugar would be too strong, though.
- If you want to use oats but don't want little chunks of oats in your smoothie, you can soak the oats in milk for about 5-10 minutes before blending them.
