Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie

My Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie has always been very popular. So I combined the flavors from that recipe with a few elements from my Blueberry Almond Butter Smoothie into one irresistibly creamy, dreamy concoction.

When you add a bit of cream cheese to your basic blueberry yogurt smoothie recipe, it takes it to another level of deliciousness. That creaminess and tangy flavor make this a perfect way to feel like you are enjoying a decadent treat for breakfast or a snack!

This Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie Tastes Like Dessert!

Here’s why you are going to make this part of your smoothie rotation…

• Rich flavor. Just a bit of cream cheese plus a scoop of Greek yogurt is all you need to make it feel luscious and indulgent.
• Packed with goodness. Combine the fruit and yogurt with any other mix-ins you want (think leafy greens, protein powder, collagen, creatine…) and you can make a blueberry cheesecake smoothie that meets your needs.
• So easy. You know how it goes with a smoothie recipe – just toss everything in your blender and hit a button. You’re just a few ingredients and mere minutes away from something delicious.

Recipe Ingredients

• Almond milk: Or your preferred dairy or non-dairy milk.
• Spinach or other dark, leafy greens: This is optional, but I love adding baby spinach to my smoothies. You can use any greens, but I find baby spinach is so tender that it completely disappears and doesn’t add any flavor.
• Frozen blueberries: Buy them from a store or freeze fresh berries.
• Cream cheese: You can use regular or light. I never recommend fat free because it has a little bit of a weird flavor and texture.
• Greek yogurt: You can use a single-serve container or about 1/2 cup plus one Tablespoon. Vanilla adds nice sweetness, but you can also use plain. In that case, add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and a bit of honey or your sweetener of choice, to taste.
• Salt: Just a tiny pinch. It really enhances the sweet and tangy flavor.
• Ice cubes: Adjust to your desired consistency

Blueberry Smoothie Tips

• Use the order listed. I find that adding the ingredients to your blender in the order listed allows everything to blend properly and gives the best final texture.
• Adjust as needed. After you blend it, taste and add additional sweetener or ice for your preferred flavor and texture.
• Enjoy right away. You can even take it with you in your favorite cup with a lid as you run out the door to work or as you head off to run some errands.
• Give it a garnish. It’s also fun to top it with whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs (try using Gluten Free Graham Crackers) for a lighter version of a blueberry cheesecake milkshake.
• Try a high-powered blender. I always recommend a high-powered blender like the Blendtec for the smoothest, most creamy smoothies. The Mini Wildside+ Jar is the perfect size for one or two smoothies. You can even use the “Smoothie” setting to have it gradually increase the speed to perfectly incorporate the liquids and frozen ingredients. Note, I do usually stop it a little before the cycle is over because I prefer an extra thick smoothie.
