Blueberry Pie Smoothie
This Blueberry Pie Smoothie tastes just like your favorite summer dessert but is full of healthy proteins, fiber, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics for a delicious and nutritious breakfast for the entire family!
It’s getting HOT!
The kinda of HOT that will not leave you alone. You go to bed hot, then when you wake up in the morning, it is already hot and you are unattractively sweating through your yoga pants. Making you consider for a few minutes the possibility of making your beloved yoga pants into cut-off shorts.
I am still on the fence if I (or anyone) could pull off cut-off yoga shorts.
What I am not on the fence about is having a cold refreshing smoothie for every meal. It’s a done deal at this point in summer.
The girls and I have fully embraced our new frozen diet – smoothies for breakfast and lunch, popsicles for snacks, ice cream for dinner.
If made right, this frozen diet can be healthy.
Or at least, I am telling myself that so we can all survive this heat wave.
This blueberry pie smoothie, tastes just like that – a blueberry pie!
Well, as close to a pie as you are going to get with a smoothie.
Fresh blueberry flavors mingle with wholesome oats, vanilla and a touch of maple syrup for some sweetness. When blended together, you have a healthy flavor bomb of a drink that is full of protein, antioxidants, fiber, potassium and healthy probiotics.
Because this smoothie is loaded with a full banana and a good serving of old-fashion oats, it will leave you and the kiddos full and satisfied. You won’t be hearing ‘mom, I’m huuunnnngrrrrry’ for at least a couple of hours!
For this recipe, I used wild blueberries which I found at my local Trader Joes because I have been majorly crushing on them lately. Wild blueberries are a lot smaller and contain more antioxidants then the regular blueberries. They also have a stronger ‘blueberry’ taste to them. If you can’t find wild blueberries, no worries, regular blueberries work just as well.
To make this smoothie, first stick your head in your freezer and just stay like that for as long as you can.
Then blend up all of the ingredients – blueberries, a banana, Greek yogurt, milk, ice, maple syrup, vanilla extract until nice and smooth. Because of the oats, this might take a little longer (or two of your smoothie settings on your blender) then you standard smoothie making time. I blended mine for a full 2 minutes and the oats where no where to be detected.
Pour into glasses, find a cool spot on your front porch and enjoy a refreshing breakfast with the kiddos.

7 Comments on “Blueberry Pie Smoothie”
Hello!
I love your sight and I am obsessed with your recipes. Thank you for all that you do!
I am keen on the idea of offering my 10 month old smoothies for breakfast. I see this is a nourishing, fun, and mess-free (HA!) way to start off the day. But I am not keen on pulling the blender out every single morning. Can your smoothie recipes last a few days in the fridge? Or even better, in the freezer?
Thank you for following along!
They may last 1-2 days in the fridge but I think they would turn into ‘juice’ rather than ‘smoothies’ and you may have to blend them with ice again.
I haven’t tried storing them in the freezer before, but it’s worth a try! I would just store the smoothie in a mason jar with the lid on, freeze, and then place in the mason jar in the fridge the night before you wanted it.
Let me know if you try this and how it works.
I’ve had success with freezing them in baby food or ice cube trays. Then I can make small or large batches depending on what I need. I just blend them with more liquid. It’s much easier than trying to partially defrost one large, solid block.
This sounds amazing! I am going to try this method this week! Thanks for the tip.

What would you suggest using as a non-dairy substitute for Greek yogurt?
