Why I Love a Blueberry Chia Smoothie
- It’s satisfying: Starting your day with any smoothie, but especially this blueberry chia smoothie, is a great idea. Smoothies are the perfect way to get in a serving of fruits and vegetables in your body before tackling the day.
- Easy to make: Making a smoothie for breakfast is one of the easiest things you can do. Just dump it all in a blender and whiz it up! It’s even faster if you prep smoothie jars with your favorite smoothie ingredients all ready to go!
- Customizable: The best part about smoothies in general is that they’re super customizable. You can add in any type of ingredients that you love or leave out the ones you don’t!

The Ingredients
- Blueberries: The star of the smoothie! They bring a gorgeous purple color to this smoothie. What could be better than that?
- Chia seeds: These add a little texture and help thicken the smoothie.
- Nut butter: The option of adding your favorite nut butter takes this smoothie to the next level, transforming it into an almost salty/sweet concoction. My husband loves it with almond butter but recently tried it with peanut butter and said it was equally delicious.
- Hemp seeds: Another optional add for a little nutty flavor and extra creaminess.
- Banana: Adding a banana to this smoothie adds some creaminess and natural sweetness. Use a frozen banana for an even more creamy texture!
Recipe Tip
No time to make this smoothie first thing in the morning? Here’s a smoothie pro tip: toss all of the ingredients into your blender pitcher the night before and place it into the fridge so that all you need to do the next morning is whiz it up and pour it into a glass.
