Notes
This recipe makes 2 servings of blueberry smoothie.For a sweeter smoothie, add a little Stevia to taste.To make the smoothie more filling, try adding flax seeds or chia seeds. To increase the creaminess, blend in half of a banana.If you aren't strictly vegan, you can replace the almond milk with Greek yogurt for a creamier smoothie.Alternatively, you could replace the coconut milk with Greek yogurt to reduce the calories and fat.This recipe calls for creamy canned coconut milk, not the thin drinkable coconut milk you buy in cartons.Your smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 3-4 days.
