Blueberry pie is a perfect summertime treat for dessert, especially with a scoop of ice cream! But instead of sneaking a slice for breakfast too, why not opt for this blueberry pie smoothie instead? It’s got all your favorite flavors in a perfectly sippable drink.
This blueberry pie smoothie recipe has all your favorite flavors from the classic dessert in a thick, creamy smoothie format.
Enjoy it for breakfast, for an afternoon snack, or to curb the cravings from your sweet tooth! It’s a low fat alternative compared to a regular slice of pie!
I love to measure and portion my ingredients ahead of time in little freezer packs, then blend them up quickly when I’m ready to enjoy! That makes your smoothie ready to enjoy in only about 2 minutes.
The other thing that’s great about smoothies is that you can adjust them to fit your specific dietary needs easily. Change out the milk types, add in a scoop of protein powder, whatever you want!
What You’ll Need: Ingredients
1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
½ cup blueberry or mixed berry Greek yogurt
½ cup unsweetened vanilla milk (I have macadamia)
½ cup blueberry juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp honey
¼ cup old fashioned oats (uncooked)
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
You can swap plain or vanilla Greek yogurt in place of the berry flavor if you like. I use the zero sugar version
Any type of unsweetened vanilla milk works. I have macadamia milk, but almond, soy, coconut, or anything else you like is a great swap
Blueberry juice can be swapped for cherry or pomegranate, or you can use a mix like cranberry blueberry acai
Honey may be swapped for maple syrup, agave nectar, or another natural sweetener
For the old fashioned oats, you may swap in another type of oat, blueberry instant oatmeal (which does contain sugar), or 2 graham crackers instead
For extra thickness, feel free to add in ¼ cup frozen banana slices
Up to 2 Tbsp of vanilla protein or collagen powder may be added if desired
How to Make a Blueberry Pie Smoothie
Add all ingredients to your favorite blender
Choose high, smoothie, or the puree setting, depending what your model has available
Thin with additional milk or juice, or thicken with ice or more frozen fruit as desired
(Optional) Add in your protein or collagen powder and mix on the lowest setting to blend
Enjoy!

Recipe FAQs
Are Blueberries Good For You in a Smoothie?
Yes, blueberries are good for you, and a great choice in a smoothie. They offer antioxidants, as well as a lot of other natural vitamins.
Of course, they don’t have to be in a smoothie to offer these benefits, but are a great addition if you plan to make one anyway.
Is It OK to Blend Blueberries?
Yes, it’s OK to blend blueberries. Frozen berries work best in terms of texture, particularly in smoothies.
While fresh berries can be used, you’ll need to add ice or other frozen fruit to balance out the consistency.
Do Blueberries Thicken Smoothies?
Yes, blueberries thicken smoothies, mostly due to the natural occurrence of pectin in them. That’s the same ingredient used in the pectin you’d make jelly with.
As such, a smoothie with blueberries in it will be thicker, and thicken more the longer it sits.
Why Does a Blueberry Smoothie Turn Brown?
A blueberry smoothie will turn brown due to oxidation, which happens with other fruits like apples and avocados as well.
To combat this, only make a single serving at a time. Use an airtight, sealed container for storage. Alternatively, add some lemon juice to the mix to fight the oxidation.
Can You Make a Blueberry Smoothie the Night Before?
Yes, you can make a blueberry smoothie the night before, and store it in the refrigerator. To prevent oxidation, add some lemon juice or store in a completely airtight container.
Smoothies are generally good for 2-3 days when stored in the fridge.
Recipe Pro Tips
This recipe is designed to be made in a full sized blender. You’d want to scale it down to a single serving if you plan to use a portable blender instead. If you don’t have a blender, a food processor or immersion blender work in a pinch!
Storage Tips
You may keep any leftover blueberry pie smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend adding a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent oxidation
For longer term storage, measure out the ingredients into freezer bags, store in the freezer for up to 3 months, and blend directly from frozen as desired
This amazing blueberry pie smoothie is like a drinkable form of the classic dessert. Of course, it’s got some much healthier ingredients packed in there as well, so you can feel better about it than a slice of the real thing.
Enjoy it for a quick and easy breakfast on the go, or pair this smoothie with other sides to create an interesting meal any time of the day!
It’s such an easy recipe to tweak to your liking, so you can use a variety of different ingredients that perfectly suit your palate or dietary needs. No matter how you shake it, it’s going to be delicious!
