Smooth, creamy, thick and naturally vegan, this blueberry smoothie is a refreshing fruity drink! The combination of lemon and blueberry is a classic. Tart lemon combined with sweet blueberries make the ultimate spring smoothie.

I also add mango into this blueberry smoothie to help thicken it and give it some natural sweetness. This Lemon Blueberry Smoothie is light and refreshing, making a delightful healthy dessert or snack!

Ingredients & Health Benefits

Frozen Blueberries: I use organic frozen blueberries for ease, so this blueberry smoothie can be made year round. But, using frozen blueberries also ensure a thicker smoothie than using fresh. Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants and are great for gut health!
Frozen Mango: I also use organic frozen mango as this will help thicken this Lemon Blueberry Smoothie. Mangos are high in vitamin C, fiber, and more.
Coconut Milk: I use organic coconut milk as I love the sweet flavor it brings. It also makes this organic smoothie vegan. You can also use regular milk if you prefer.
Lemon: I use the juice and zest of a fresh lemon. You can also use Meyer lemons if you prefer! If you don’t have a lemon, you can use lemon juice from a bottle, but the zest really brings more flavor to this Lemon Blueberry Smoothie. Lemons are high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and they’re great for digestive health because of their citric acid.
Fresh Blueberries: I garnish the blueberry smoothie with fresh blueberries, but this part is totally optional.

Tools Needed

Blender: You’ll need a high powered blender.
Zester: You’ll need a zester to zest the lemon.
Hand Juicer: I use a hand juicer to juice the lemon, but you can just squeeze the juice out with your hand too.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Add the blueberries, mango, and 1/2 cup coconut milk (to start if you prefer thick smoothies) to a high powered blender.

Step 2

Zest the lemon into the blender, then juice the lemon and add the juice into the blender.

Step 3

Blend until smooth. Depending on the size of the lemon and hoe thick you like your smoothie, you can add the additional coconut milk as needed.

Step 4

Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh blueberries and a lemon slice (optional).

Tips

Depending on the size of your lemon, you may need more or less coconut milk to get your desired consistency.
If you like thick smoothies, like me, start with the 1/2 cup of coconut milk first and go from there before adding the additional 2 tablespoons.
If you like really thick smoothies, be sure to use a blender tamper before adding more liquid as this will ensure it’s blended up well. Check out my post 10 Tips for Making Thick Smoothies.
If you want a thinner smoothie, just add a little more coconut milk to get your desired consistency.
If you don’t have mango you can also use a banana in its place, it does not have to be frozen.

FAQ’s

Can I use another kind of milk?

Yes, you can use any kind you like, cow’s milk, oat or almond will all work.

Can I use fresh blueberries?

Yes, but you’ll want to decrease liquid. Fresh blueberries have more water than so your smoothie can become more watery if you use fresh if you don’t decrease the liquid.
