Make this simple, refreshing smoothie featuring blueberries, lemon, and chia seeds for a quick, nutritious drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 3-4 ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen blueberries, almond milk, lemon juice, chia seeds, and lemon zest into a high-speed blender.
  2. Add maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high until completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Pour immediately into a glass and serve.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, use all frozen blueberries and reduce the initial amount of liquid slightly.
  • If you prepare this ahead of time, the chia seeds will absorb liquid, making the smoothie very thick; add more liquid when reheating or stirring.
  • To make this recipe vegan, confirm your milk choice is plant-based and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
