Pretty sure that the smoothie recipe index on this blog is starting to look like a dessert buffet lately.

We’ve got recipes for you to make a Banana Bread Smoothie, Carrot Cake Smoothie, Apple Pie Smoothie, Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie, Chocolate (Chia) Smoothie, and the list goes on. And, oh, I have a half dozen other “dessert” smoothies coming your way soon. I’m on a roll!

I mean, as much as I adore a nice sweet treat, I have a pool party and a wedding coming up this month and a cute new dress that I’d like to squeeze into. So I’m taking any opportunity I can find to take some healthier shortcuts for my favorite dessert recipes, as well as some of my favorite breakfast treats. My latest experiment was to see if I could smoothie-fy one of my all-time favorite breakfast indulgences — blueberry muffins. Now of course, nothing quite compares to a warm, buttery, fluffy muffin bursting with juicy fresh blueberries. But, if you decide to pass on the muffin, I’m pretty sure that the next best thing is this blueberry muffin smoothie.

It’s quick and easy to make, packed with tons of protein and antioxidants, and it is mighty delicious.

I have confessed on the blog before that I tend to be a bit of a berry hoarder whenever I find fresh (or frozen) blueberries on sale at the store. And this month has been no exception. I believe that at one point there were no less than 8 cartons of fresh blueberries taking up residence in my refrigerator.

Sorry I’m not sorry.

I LOVE BLUEBERRIES!

They’re crazy delicious, super good for you, and — how I justify said hoarding — they taste delicious fresh and freeze beautifully if you don’t eat them in time. ;)

I just so happened to have a batch of (ahem) “freshly” frozen blueberries on hand one morning last month when I decided to experiment with this smoothie. And when blended up with some oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and a pinch of salt (important)…

…turns out, the result tasted surprisingly similar to my favorite indulgent muffin!

And thanks to those frozen blueberries, it was super vibrantly purple as well. (Heads up — I highly recommend drinking this puppy with a straw. Otherwise, your lips and teeth may be super vibrantly purple as well.)  ;)Blueberry Muffin Smoothie Recipe -- made with fresh and healthy ingredients, and inspired by the flavors in a blueberry muffin! | gimmesomeoven.com

I topped mine with a few fresh blueberries for flare. And…then proceeded to drink half of it for breakfast…followed by the second half for lunch. It tasted like such a treat!

I thought the blueberries made the smoothie plenty sweet on its own, but if you insist, you’re welcome to add in a little extra maple syrup of honey. And then I like adding in Greek yogurt for extra protein, but you can omit that if you’re making the smoothie dairy-free or vegan. And if you only have fresh (instead of frozen) blueberries on hand, just add in a little extra ice to thicken things up. Basically, feel free to make whatever modifications you need.

Bottom line, if you love blueberry muffins, make this smoothie. I have a feeling it just might make your day. :)

  12. I am going to the market this Sunday, now I know what to try with the Blueberries I am going to get, thank you for sharing this post. 

  13. Great recipe! Healthy and delicious!

  14. My 10-year-old has gotten into smoothie making. She’s at an experimental stage that can be tough on the taste buds and grocery budget. I’m going to show her this one to maybe put her on track!

  15. This smoothie is soooooo good! I just made it! I LOVE when I can make a healthy breakfast taste like dessert!

  18. Beautiful!  Love the creamy components (and your photos are stunning!).

  19. Blueberries are the bomb! Great smoothie to help me with my girly figure. 

  20. Love this smoothie.  I made it twice today; once for me and once for my wife.  One question,  how is the texture supposed to be?  I found that the oaks came out a bit chunky.  I did this in a food processor so maybe thats why.  Not sure if it’s supposed to have that texture or not.  Next, chia seeds in it!

    • Thanks Jem, we’re glad to hear that! The oats shouldn’t be that chunky, so you might want to blend them a little more. Chia seeds would be an awesome addition! :)

  21. Can i use blackberries instead of blueberry? ( we’ re out of blueberries)
     

    • You sure can Jewel, in fact, that sounds just as delicious, if not more! We hope you enjoy the smoothie!

  22. mmm yes, i love all the berries. But confession, I add them to smoothie for color. Because it’s just soo pretty! right?

  23. Hi, not sure if it’s been answered or not, but why is the salt important?

    Thanks

  24. I’ve made this recipe three or four times in the last two weeks. It is so good I can’t get enough!
     

  25. Love blueberries and this smoothie looks delicious! Definitely going to give this one a try. It’ll make the perfect snack or even a breakfast drink.

  26. Sounds really good, will have to try it

  27. Ridiculously good! I was skeptical about the blueberry muffin smoothie but I gave it a try. I used whole milk yogurt, no salt, fresh blueberries and the rest was the same and it was YUMMY! I had enough to save for tomorrow in my Mason jar! Yipee….
