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!

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

    I fixed this blueberry avocado smoothie for my 9 month old grandson today. It was a huge hit! Can you tell me where I can find the adorable glass drinking jars and lids in the picture?

    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!
