Looking for a healthy and delicious smoothie for adults, kids, and babies alike? Try this creamy avocado blueberry smoothie packed with nutrients to support growth and development. Perfect for picky eaters!
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.
I love to garnish mine with additional blueberries and an avocado slice, but anyway you serve it, enjoy your Avocado and Blueberry Smoothie!
Frequently Asked Questions

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