The warmer days of spring and summer are right around the corner! For me, one of the perks of the warmer days ahead is being able to break out my Vitamix and make a delicious smoothie. They are perfect for breakfast or as a post-recovery treat after a long run. Actually, they are perfect just about anytime!
Now, the kitchen certainly is not where I enjoy spending my time (due to the fact that Matt is the chef of the house), but I can successfully whip up a smoothie. So, today I would like to share this delicious and nutritious treat with you!
Without further adieu, here is what you need to do to create this warm weather treat.
- a blender-I have a Vitamix 🙂
- measuring spoons
- measuring cups
Materials
- vanilla almond milk – 1 to 2 cups
- chocolate cocoa powder – 1 tbsp.
- Wyman’s frozen blueberries – 1 cup
- Bob’s Red Mill flaxseed meal (or chia seeds) – 2 tbsp.
- honey – 1 tbsp.
- ripe avocado – 1/4 of the avocado
- vanilla – 1 tsp. (optional)
Ingredients
Pour ingredients right into the blender
Blend until a nice consistency. Add more liquid if necessary.
Enjoy!
Voila!
There you have it, my favorite blueberry smoothie.
Now you can see why I’m just a bit anxious.

Such a beautiful shade of purple! I understand why spring brings on the smoothies. Do you have matching place mats for each variety of smoothie?
Purple just happens to be my favorite color. 🙂
I love purple too! I also love avocado, but have not tasted it with too many other foods (lemon and tomatoes). Would love to try this! Thanks 🙂
And it’s a healthy smoothie too!
Yum! This looks delicious plus it’s good for you – a winning combination.
That sounds delicious! I just tried fresh avocado for the first time over the weekend (weird, I know), and I loved it! I could definitely see how it would work well in a smoothie. Now, I need to go get myself a blender…
I can almost taste your smoothie now! Will try this! 🙂
