Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this smoothie because it’s so creamy and satisfying while being dairy-free and naturally sweet. The coconut milk adds richness, the blueberries bring a fruity punch, and a frozen banana gives it that perfect thick texture. It’s quick to make, totally customizable, and keeps me full and energized for hours.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Frozen blueberries
Frozen banana (sliced)
Coconut milk (full-fat or light)
Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for extra flavor)
Chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for fiber and omega-3s)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Ice cubes (if I want it extra thick and cold)

Directions

I add the frozen blueberries, banana, coconut milk, and any optional ingredients into a blender.
I blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
I taste and add honey or maple syrup if I want it sweeter.
I pour it into a glass and serve immediately. Sometimes I top it with shredded coconut or fresh berries for texture.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings. It takes just 5 minutes from start to finish — a perfect quick breakfast or snack.

Variations

I use almond or oat milk if I want to change up the flavor or lighten it up.
Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder turns it into a great post-workout smoothie.
I blend in a handful of spinach for extra greens — it changes the color, not the flavor.
For a thicker consistency, I freeze the coconut milk into cubes and blend them in.

Storage/Reheating

I drink it fresh for the best flavor and texture. If I have leftovers, I store them in a covered jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I stir or shake before drinking, since natural separation can occur. I don’t reheat this smoothie — it’s best served cold.

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Yes, but I usually add a few ice cubes if I’m using fresh berries to keep it thick and chilled.

Is this smoothie vegan?

Yes, it’s completely vegan as long as I skip the honey or use maple syrup instead.

Can I make it without banana?

I’ve made it without banana by using frozen mango or avocado to keep it creamy.

Is coconut milk fattening?

Coconut milk is higher in fat, but it’s also filling. I use light coconut milk if I want a lighter version.

Can I prep this smoothie ahead of time?

I freeze the ingredients in individual bags and just dump them into the blender with coconut milk when I’m ready. It makes breakfast super fast.

Conclusion

Creamy Blueberry Coconut Smoothie is one of my favorite go-to blends when I want something fruity, rich, and nourishing. It’s incredibly simple, full of natural ingredients, and endlessly adaptable. Whether I’m starting my day or just need something cool and satisfying, this smoothie always hits the spot.
