I have been starting most of my mornings with a smoothie for over a decade, since before I became a mom! One thing I have always loved about smoothies, besides the versatility and quickness, is how delicious they are for everyone! My boys have been stealing sips from my cup since they were babies- from my chocolate banana protein smoothie to my orange carrot smoothie.

My Avocado Blueberry Smoothie has been a favorite for years! Especially when the boys were babies and toddlers. A sweet way to make sure healthy fats and vitamins get into their diet without feeling guilty about adding processed sugars. The secret? Sweet and juicy plump blueberries.

Why You’ll Love This Smoothie

  • Naturally sweet and creamy.
  • Makes a nutritious and quick breakfast.
  • Can easily be taken on the go!

Ingredients

  • Avocado: Adds a creamy, smooth texture to the smoothie and is a great source of heart-healthy fats.
  • Blueberries: Fresh and frozen blueberries are both great options for smoothies, and are full of antioxidants.
  • Banana: My favorite way to naturally sweeten smoothies, you can use fresh or frozen.
  • Oats: Full of fiber and protein, makes the smoothie more filling.
  • Yogurt: I usually use plain Greek yogurt for the added protein, but you can use vanilla flavored as well.
  • Flax seed meal: Doesn’t do anything to the taste, but adds important omega 3 fatty acids.

Easy Substitutions

  • Do a mixed berry blend, or swap the blueberries out for raspberries or blackberries!
  • Make it dairy free by using almond or oat milk instead of the yogurt.

How to Make an Avocado Blueberry Smoothie

Step 1. Cut your avocado in half to remove the pit and slice the fruit away from the skin.

Step 2. Then add the banana to your blender with the yogurt and oats.

Step 3. Then add either your fresh or frozen blueberries and the avocado. Finish with the flax seed meal.

Step 4. Add some ice and blend until smooth, adding more ice or water until you reach your desired consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do oats need to be cooked before adding to a smoothie?

Nope! Oats and oatmeal can be added and blended raw into smoothies, totally safe to eat.

Are avocados good in smoothies?

Yes! They add great nutrients, and also add to a dreamy, creamy texture. I love it in my Pineapple Banana Avocado Smoothie and my healthy copycat of a shamrock shake.

What fruit goes well with avocado?

Mixed berries, tropical fruits like pineapple, kiwi, or mango, and many citrus all go well with avocado.

Liz’s Notes

For stronger flavor, use frozen fruit and you won’t have to use as much ice! It’ll keep your smoothie flavor from getting watered down.
Make this smoothie ahead of time! You can freeze the individually portioned ingredients for this smoothie in a bag then just toss it all in a blender with some water when you’re ready to make it!

    Meh. I found this smoothie a bit on the tasteless side. I was looking for a zmoothie to use up a bit of avocado and this one held promise with the blueberry and banana combo. However, it just didn’t live up to my hopes. I did substitute coconut milk for the water and ice and use all frozen fruit, but this shouldn’t have resulted in the lack of flavour

      You can replace the banana with apple sauce or additional yogurt.

    My 8 month old loves this! It was as if I had never given him anything quite so delicious….he whined when I took his cup away to give him more! Thanks for sharing a healthy, filling and fun smoothie recipe!

    My one-year-old loved this smoothie! It was just sweet enough from the banana, and a little tart from the yogurt. Very yummy! I am trying to find ways to get her more calories and nutrients throughout the day, and this fit the bill!

      I’m so glad she enjoyed!! Avocados are a great way to add high quality nutrients and calories!

    Hello

    Can I freeze this in a pouch then just defrost it in the mornings? If so how long can I freeze it for ?

    Amazing recipe thank you

    Super excited to give this to my 7 month old to for his first smoothie! He loves all of these ingredients, although I will be subbing oats for an oats and quinoa mix because I don’t have just oats. Hope it comes out!

    Could you use frozen blueberries? And if so would they basically take the place of the ice cubes?

    What’s the earliest you can let them drink this? I believe all the stuff that’s listed they can have at 6-9 months, but I wasn’t sure about the flax seed.

      Anything you can puree they can eat! :)

      I’d be very careful with flax. My little guy is deathly allergic.

        Oh wow! My boys both have been eating it since they were 6 months.

    I’m going to make this for my 8 month old, I’m pretty excited I think she’ll love it! I’m going to sub breastmilk for the water and yogurt. And give it to her in her sippy cup!

    Do I have to cook the oats first or blend them in dry? Can’t wait to try this on my kids. Thanks

      Nope you blend them dry! Let me know what you think!

    This is exactly what I was looking for to try with my Autistic son. He’s 5 years old, but he has trouble with texture. So eating textured food is not his thing. He does however like smoothies. I’ve been looking for something like this I can make myself instead of being stuck with just Pediasure. I’ve got the few ingredients I need on my shopping list already! Thanks so much for this!

    I make this smoothie every 2 weeks, my 11 month old, 5 year old can’t get enough..I double the recipe and freeze the leftover is ice pops so they have “healthy” ice cream…love it..sometimes I sub the yogurt with whole milk kefir and omit the water

    My baby is 10 months, could I use regular quaker instead of baby oatmeal?

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      Yes as long as you are blending it any oats work!

    Yum! What could we sub for the yogurt? Little man has a dairy allergy but this sounds awesome!

    Can I ask how what do you put the smoothie in for your 10 month old to drink? My guy is almost 11 months and he can drink from a cup but I have to hold it. He wasn’t really figured out a straw yet, a d I imagine this is too thick for a sippy cup. Suggestions?

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      We use a sippy cup with a straw! I like to get one where the straw reaches all the way to the bottom of the glass. These are our favorite ones: https://www.amazon.com/Playtex-Gripper-Twist-Click-Colors/dp/B001OAKMEO/ref=sr_1_23?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1375965640&sr=1-23&keywords=sippy+cup+with+straw

    This sounds delicious :) My 14 month old has a smoothie nearly everyday & avocado makes it the perfect texture. However, I have to sit there & hold her cup the whole time because she drinks it from a regular straw. None of her sippy cups work with it. (and I don’t make them terribly thick) Would you mind telling me what cups you use?

    Your smoothies sound great. I am going to try with coconut milk yogurt as my daughter is allergic to cows milk

    Can’t wait to make this for my twin 15 month old boys! And one for myself too! Where do you find whole fat yogurt? Thanks!

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar
      Liz DellaCroce

      Let me know what they think!! Whole fat yogurt is in the yogurt aisle – just make sure it doesn’t say low fat, fat free or reduced fat. It usually says “whole milk plain.” Good luck!!

    Looks good but what can I use instead of baby cereal as my son is 4

    1. Liz DellaCroce Avatar

      Quaker oats – old fashioned! That’s what we’ve been using as well. :) Enjoy!

    Thanks for the great idea! My baby is 17 and I still have to sneak fruits and veg into his meals…he’s strictly meat and potatoes. He recently agreed to try smoothies so I’m excited to add another healthy ingredient!

      Thank you so much for letting me know!! Let me know what you think!! The avocado adds such creamy texture!
