This blueberry almond smoothie is packed with antioxidant-rich blueberries, hydrating coconut water, and spinach for a creamy and nutritious breakfast or snack. Vegan and gluten-free.
I have a delicious smoothie recipe to share with you today. I’ve been on a green smoothie kick and I’ve made this smoothie several times over the last few weeks. Yes, I know this smoothie is purple, but it does have spinach so it’s still a green smoothie in my mind.
It’s surprisingly simple, but has a great flavor and consistency.
I reluctantly shared a few sips with Isaac the last time I made it and he said it was one of the best smoothies I’ve ever made. There’s something to be said for that because he’s not the biggest smoothie fan.

February 17, 2013 at 9:45 amLove the color!! I’ve made a very similiar version of this, but I’ve never used coconut water. I’ve been wanting to try it for a while and I’ll have to give it a try with this recipe!

February 17, 2013 at 11:46 amOh how I can’t wait for smoothie season again! I am definitely one of those people that can’t drink frozen things in the cold but come, spring/summer, I’m all over it!

February 17, 2013 at 1:35 pmI normally don’t find myself commenting on blogs, but I just want to say that I’m a new follower, health food junkie, serious yogi and foodie.. AND officially addicted to your blog! I’ve shared it with several of my girlfriends already, and we’ve started making some of your recipes. I LOVE the overnight quinoa oats – I add in hemp hearts for added fibre and texture 🙂
Keep up the great work!

February 18, 2013 at 6:23 amI love how BLUE your smoothie turned out! I’ve been making a similar smoothie lately, but I’m afraid my green to blue ratio is overdone, as my smoothie turns out more black than blue. 😉
I will have to try this! 😀

February 18, 2013 at 9:34 amYum… that sounds delicious!! I’ve been on a smoothie kick as well, despite the snow up here in NH 😉
I’ve been following Young and Raw on facebook and they have some really tasty smoothie recipes!

That particular almond milk is a staple in my fridge – use it lots!

February 19, 2013 at 7:45 amWhat a great color that smoothie turned out to be!
Camille @ When Life Gives You Cupcakes says
February 23, 2013 at 12:47 amMmmm. Love the color of this smoothie! I only have chocolate protein powder right now which may be too strong of a flavor, but I bet this would taste excellent with vanilla powder 🙂
Nat @ The Apple Diaries says
February 25, 2013 at 6:25 amWow that is one blue smoothie! I usually do avocado and almond with an extremely similar set of ingredients, so maybe I should throw some blueberries into the mix.
Thanks for the recipe 🙂
