Ingredients
Scale
-
- 1 ½ cups Frozen Blueberries: Using frozen blueberries is non-negotiable for that thick, frosty texture.
- 1 cup Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk: This is the key to creaminess! Don’t use the watered-down coconut milk beverage from a carton. Shake the can well before opening.
- ½ Large Frozen Banana: Break it into chunks before freezing for easier blending. The banana adds natural sweetness and an extra layer of creaminess.
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds: These little seeds work wonders to thicken the smoothie and add a boost of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup or Honey (Optional): If your blueberries or banana aren’t very sweet, a small drizzle of a natural sweetener can balance the flavors.

Instructions
- Load the Blender Correctly: Pour the coconut milk into the blender first. Adding the liquid at the bottom helps the blades move freely and prevents the frozen ingredients from getting stuck.
- Add Soft and Small Ingredients: Next, add the optional maple syrup and vanilla extract, followed by the chia seeds.
- Add the Frozen Fruit: Finally, add the frozen banana chunks and the frozen blueberries. Placing the heaviest, frozen ingredients on top helps push everything down into the blades.
- Blend to Perfection: Secure the lid and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, with no remaining chunks or specks. If needed, stop the blender and use a tamper or spatula to scrape down the sides.
- Taste and Adjust: Pour a small amount into a spoon to taste. If it’s not sweet enough for your liking, add a little more maple syrup and give it a quick 5-second blend to incorporate.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glasses and enjoy right away for the best taste and texture.
