Make this refreshing smoothie blending sweet blueberries, tart lemon, and nutritious chia seeds for a quick, healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 frozen banana (optional, for sweetness/creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender.
  2. Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid or add 3-4 ice cubes.
  • If you prefer a less tart flavor, increase the amount of banana or add a small pitted date.
  • To prepare ahead, mix the dry ingredients (chia seeds) with the liquid and let it sit for 10 minutes before blending everything else.
