Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

I am such a smoothie girl, and here’s why. First, I really would love to eat ice cream all day, every day. Sipping a smoothie satisfies that craving for something cool and creamy. Second, I have a sensitive stomach. I find smoothies are the easiest and gentlest way for me to get a good amount of dark leafy greens and other produce, plus protein and calcium and all the other stuff I need to fuel me through a day of keeping up with my boys, working out, and doing my job.

While a Cherry Chocolate Smoothie or Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie are my usual go-to’s, sometimes I need a change of pace. That’s why I came up with this Maple Cinnamon Blueberry Smoothie. Now it’s definitely one of my favorites. Here’s why you’ll love it…

• Tastes like French Toast. This blueberry smoothie has tons of sweet berry flavor complemented by cinnamon and real maple syrup. It’s evokes thoughts of French toast topped with plump blueberries and drizzled with maple goodness.
• Follows my basic formula. Having a go-to combination and ratio of ingredients allows you to make wholesome smoothies on a daily basis in no time. It’s also easy way to swap things out and change up the flavors, but still ensure they turn out perfectly. Plus you can blend in extra superfoods and other additions for extra nutrient needs you might have.
• Perfect any time of the day. It’s wonderful to pair with a stack of chocolate chip pancakes or gluten free zucchini muffins for breakfast. You can also grab one on-the-go for an afternoon snack. Add protein powder to fuel a workout. And it can even satisfy your sweet tooth for dessert!

What You’ll Need

Here’s a rundown of what you need to know about the ingredients to make this blueberry smoothie recipe, plus any substitutions or additions you can make or what can be omitted. All you have to do is add everything to your blender in the order listed and blend till smooth. Scroll down to the recipe card for the full amounts and detailed instructions.

• Baby spinach leaves. Or any other dark leafy greens. I like the baby spinach because it breaks down completely without getting gritty or overpowering the flavor. You can leave this out if you prefer.
• Frozen blueberries.
• Yogurt. For the best blueberry flavor, you can use a small container of blueberry Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, like the one from Silk. Vanilla or plain yogurt or even cottage cheese are also fine, but if you use plain, you may want to add a little extra maple syrup.
• Maple syrup. For the best flavor, use the real stuff, not pancake syrup.
• Cinnamon. Just enough to enhance the other flavors. Feel free try it with ginger instead, though I’d use a bit less.
• Milk. I prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk.
• Ice cubes. Adjust the amount based on your preferred consistency.
• Optional additions. A pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness, seeds or superfoods like chia or flax for extra nutrition, a scoop of protein powder or collagen powder, or even a splash of vanilla extract.
