Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather your ingredients and make any changes or substitutions at this time.
Step 2: Combine all ingredients in a blender. If you choose to add any leafy greens to this smoothie as an addition, blend the greens and milk first before adding the other ingredients.
Step 3: Blend until the consistency is smooth and creamy. As the smoothie blends you can add more frozen fruit or ice cubes for a thicker consistency or more liquid for a thinner consistency.
Step 4: Pour the smoothie into a cup or bowl, garnish as desired, and enjoy right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
While it is not absolutely necessary, freezing the fruit before you put it in your smoothie is a great way to get more of a frozen, frosty consistency. If you don't have time to freeze the fruit in advance you can add ice to the smoothie instead.
If you are planning to make a smoothie bowl, make sure that all of the fruit is frozen prior to blending. I also recommend adding the liquid slowly to make sure you can get the consistency you are looking for. Add just enough milk to make things creamy without making it too runny and liquidy.
Topping Recommendations
This peanut butter blueberry smoothie is delicious when enjoyed on its own. With that being said, these are some of my favorite recommendations for toppings or garnishes:
- Extra peanut butter
- Almond butter
- Crushed or chopped peanuts
- Crushed or chopped almonds
- Fresh or frozen berries
