Lemon Blueberry Muffin Smoothie
Servings 2 People
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- ½ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup hulled hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or 3-4 dates
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Note: ~ just FYI when it sits, it really thickens up and gets a little gloppy from the chia seeds. It makes a great smoothie bowl with all the toppings or just stir in some water to thin it out.
Items you can prep ahead (optional)
- Make the smoothie!
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until totally smooth.
Notes
Substitutions:
- To make dairy-free/vegan, substitute yogurt with a vegan alternative or skip it all together and increase hemp seeds to ½ cup. You may need to add a bit more water if you do that.
- Sub frozen raspberries for blueberries. It would also be yummy with ripe frozen summer peaches.
- Skip the chia seeds and sub them with more hemp or your favorite nut or seed butter.
Storage:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Leftovers + Repurposing:
- When the smoothie sits overnight, it really thickens up and gets a little gloppy from the chia seeds. It makes a great smoothie bowl or just stir in some water to thin it out.
- Turn it into a smoothie bowl and top with granola, banana, and berries (or whatever your heart desires!).
- Add it to a bowl and swirl in some Greek yogurt and top with granola.
