Lemon Blueberry Avocado Smoothie

This lemon blueberry avocado smoothie is such a delicious, easy, and filling breakfast idea! Touches of lemon zest, vanilla, and cinnamon add so much incredible flavour, while avocado and yogurt make the texture super creamy. Recipe is gluten-free, naturally sweetened only with fruit, and can be made vegan if needed.

This lemon blueberry smoothie flavour was inspired by my lemon blueberry overnight oats recipe (one of my favourites). This smoothie version worked perfectly and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This recipe is made with only 8 ingredients and it’s nutritionally balanced, containing sources of protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich carbohydrates. There are no added sugars and the sweetness of the blueberries is brought out even more by the addition of vanilla and cinnamon.

As a dietitian, I love creating delicious recipes that pack in a ton of nutrition benefits and that leave you feeling full and energized. This breakfast smoothie ticks all those boxes!

Ingredients Needed

All you need to make this blueberry smoothie are 8 simple ingredients:

• blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• avocados (fresh or frozen)
• lemon (juice + zest)
• almond milk
• plain greek yogurt
• chia seeds
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon

Recipe Modifications & Ingredient Swaps

1. Instead of almond milk, you can use any milk or milk alternatives that you like. Just aim for an unsweetened one, if possible.
2. If you want to increase the protein content of this smoothie, feel free to add a scoop of your favourite protein powder. An unflavoured or vanilla version would work best.
3. You can swap the greek yogurt with a vegan alternative if needed. Do note that this will likely lower the protein content though!
4. Instead of chia seeds, you can use other seeds like hemp, pumpkin, or flax.
5. While it may change the colour of this smoothie, feel free to add a handful of spinach for some extra greens. Spinach has a super neutral flavour and won’t alter the flavour profile too much!

How To Make Ahead & Store (Fridge or Freezer)

If your mornings are a rush, rest assured that you can make a smoothie the night before! This smoothie will keep for about 1-2 days in the fridge. Simply pour it into a jar with a lid and refrigerate. Note: separation is normal – just give the jar a good shake before drinking.

In case you’re wondering – yes, you can freeze green smoothies! It’s a great way to include them in your breakfast meal prep.

One way to do this is by pouring any extra smoothie into silicone ice cube trays or muffin tins and placing them in the freezer. Once frozen, you can pop out the smoothie “cubes” and store them in a freezer-safe bag. Just thaw them for a few hours or the night before you want the smoothie.
