We love making fruit smoothies. Our blueberry smoothie recipe is one of our classics and is a regular go-to.

For all fruit smoothies we use a basic template which we vary for each smoothie. You can find our core fruit smoothie guide here.

Cole Cooks: A Guide to Fruit Smoothies

We like to use frozen fruit. We buy a large bag of frozen blueberries because they are a popular ingredient for many smoothie recipes.

For a blueberry smoothie we actually use Trader Joe’s blueberry juice. However, any juice you like can be used. For a healthy smoothie some people (not us) like to use coconut water.  Orange juice also works great for this smoothie.

Adding a sweetener is optional. For us it is almost always honey. However, a good practice is to mix the smoothie, taste and add sweetener as needed.

No matter what type of smoothie you are making, a good blender is essential. When we invested in a Nutri Ninja our smoothie making really took off. Our Nutri Ninja has all kinds of buttons and settings. This includes a dedicated smoothie button I have never used. Instead we simply turn it on to medium and let it go for about a minute. We have a high-end Nutri Ninja system but they have a complete line for all budgets.
