Ingredients

Banana: Naturally sweet and creamy so that you don’t need to add any sweeteners.
Blueberries: An antioxidant superfood that is rich in potassium, vitamin C, and boast anti-inflammatory properties.
Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt makes this smoothie creamy, but also packs in some probiotics and protein to help you keep feeling full.
Cinnamon: Subtle warm, somewhat sweet flavor that gives you more antioxidants.
Vanilla: Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
Flax seed meal: Mostly flavorless, and doesn’t do much to the texture, but gives you a great dose of omega-3s and fiber.

Tips from the Chef

Pro tip: If you’re using frozen blueberries or banana in this smoothie, you might want to add a little extra water or milk if you don’t want it too thick.
To pack in more protein, try adding some flavorless or vanilla protein powder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to blend cinnamon sticks?

You can grind or blend cinnamon sticks in your blender if you have a strong, high-powered blender. But I wouldn’t add whole cinnamon sticks to a smoothie or blend it with other ingredients.

How do I change the smoothie consistency?

Add more water and less ice for a thinner smoothie. Or, you can use frozen fruit and/or add more ice for a thicker smoothie.

Is drinking a smoothie the same as eating fruit?

Other than making it easier to digest in many ways, yes! Unlike juicing, blending fruits whole makes sure you don’t miss out on any nutrients from the fruit or skin.
