Summer is here but that doesn’t mean we should slack off on healthy eating. It’s so easy to start the day off with the wrong type of breakfast.
Almond Butter & Grape Yogurt Smoothie
I know I’m tempted when I see toaster pastries, donuts, and iced coffees on the table at meetings and attractions. Thankfully, this blueberry smoothie recipe is very easy to make and absolutely delicious!
So why do I want a protein smoothie? High protein smoothies like this Blueberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie help develop lean muscle mass, encourage fat burning, and help you feel full.
Some people choose protein powders but I’m always worried about the ingredients in protein powders so I prefer to do it the natural way when possible.
Strawberry Banana Kiwi Smoothie
An added benefit of this blueberry protein smoothie with Greek yogurt is that it contains so many brain-boosting foods. Let your child start the day off with this smoothie before they head off to school.

So, should you put yogurt in a smoothie? Yes! It’s a wonderful way to boost the protein content. I’ve shared several different protein smoothies here on the blog.
Simple Greek Yogurt Protein Shake
So, if blueberry isn’t your thing, you can try my Tropical Protein Smoothie that has banana and pineapple or my Citrus Protein Smoothie. Or, try my black cherry smoothie with Greek yogurt.
If you want to add in even more protein, there is no reason you cannot add in your favorite protein powder. I’ve used Plant Fusion before and was pleased with the taste of it.
But, if you want a blueberry protein powder, Eat the Bear is made with grass-fedwhey protein powder and comes in blueberry flavor.
Blueberry Kale Protein Smoothie
You can really create almost any flavor combination you want to with this recipe. Why not try a blueberry chocolate protein shake or a blueberry oatmeal protein shake by tossing in a handful of oatmeal.
Of course, you don’t have to add a topping to your smoothie at all. Or, you can add a handful of fresh berries of your choice.
Strawberries, raspberries, and more blueberries always work well for me. You can also add a handful of pumpkin seeds or chia seeds. Seeds are a great way to get added fiber into your diet.
Strawberry Protein Shake Recipe With Yogurt
A standard blender works fairly well when you’re making a smoothie. In some cases, the fruits may not be as smooth as I’d like.
Or, you can get a smoothie maker which generally has more power to make everything smooth. If you like your smoothies thick, you might want to invest in a few smoothie straws.
My daughter is lactose intolerant. So, while she is generally OK with Greek yogurt, we sometimes make dairy-free smoothie recipes using soy or almond-based yogurt.
Greek Yogurt Smoothie (12g Protein)
It won’t have the protein that traditional Greek yogurt has. So, if you want this to be a protein smoothie and you’re using a dairy-free yogurt, be sure to add protein powder.
There are several dairy-free varieties. Orgain is plant-based and comes in a yummy chocolate variety we’ve used before. And you can easily make a blueberry smoothie with almond milk.
This really is one of our favorite breakfast smoothie recipes. It’s ready in minutes and is so much better for you than cold cereal or a pastry.

If you use a personal smoothie blender, you can simply snap the top on the blender bottle and take it with you on the way to work.

While eating whole fruit is normally best, a smoothie can be a great way to get lots of fruits and/or vegetables in one easy serving. The featured ingredients in this smoothie recipe are fruit, Greek yogurt, nuts, and seeds!
Blueberry Almond Greek Yogurt Smoothie
Both fresh and frozen fruit is healthy. Fruit contains fiber, water, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. All of these nutrients help your body fight, prevent, and manage diseases. Aim to include a variety of colors throughout the week.
Greek yogurt is a great source of B vitamins, calcium, and probiotics. It is also higher in protein than regular yogurt, making this smoothie filling and satisfying.
We recommend buying plain varieties in order to avoid added sugars and organic, if you can afford it. Select a fat content that works with your overall diet. If you tend to consume a lot of foods high in saturated fat, a low-fat or fat-free variety is your best choice. If you limit saturated fat in your diet, full-fat varieties are okay.

Nuts and seeds contain plant-based protein and healthy fats. These nutrients help you feel satisfied. Choose natural nut butters with as few ingredients as possible (i.e. just nuts and salt). Flaxseeds are great sources of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. These fats promote brain and heart health. (1)
Leafy green veggies are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that promote health and help fight diseases. Blending spinach into a greek yogurt smoothie is an easy way to help promote your health.
