Ingredients
- Frozen Blueberries: I use organic frozen blueberries for ease, so this blueberry smoothie can be made year round. But, using frozen blueberries also ensures a thicker smoothie than using fresh.
- Frozen Mango: I also use organic frozen mango as this will help thicken this Lemon Blueberry Smoothie.
- 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 fresh lemon zest really brings more flavor to this Lemon Blueberry Smoothie.

Tips For a Thick Lemon Blueberry Smoothie
- 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.
- 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. Banana is a great thickener for smoothies.
How to Make a Lemon Blueberry Smoothie
- Add the blueberries, mango, and 1/2 cup coconut milk (to start if you prefer thick smoothies) to a high powered blender. Zest the lemon into the blender, then juice the lemon and add the juice into the blender.
- 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.
- Pour into a glass.
- garnish with fresh blueberries and a lemon slice (optional).

Recipe FAQ’s
Yes, while these ingredients are delicious on their own when they come together it's a magical burst of fresh berry and zesty lemon that compliment each other perfectly!
I use frozen mango and coconut milk to thicken this vegan smoothie. I also do less liquid at first, this will help you get the right thickness that you desire without adding too much. This is a crucial step whenever making thick smoothies as you can't remove liquid, but you can always add more. So, start with less at first. Blend and use a blender tamper, as this will help blend without adding more liquid. Then decide if you need more.
