A quick and refreshing smoothie combining blueberries, lemon, and chia seeds for a nutrient-dense breakfast or snack.

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 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 3 ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)

Instructions

  1. Place the almond milk, water, frozen blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, chia seeds, and sweetener (if using) into a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  3. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add the ice cubes and blend again until incorporated.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, use all frozen blueberries and reduce the liquid slightly.
  • You can soak the chia seeds in the milk for 10 minutes before blending to create a gel, which results in a creamier texture.
  • Substitute maple syrup with a pitted Medjool date for natural sweetness.
  • This recipe is naturally dairy free.
