Ingredients You’ll Need
Keep it simple. Your blender will thank you.
- Frozen blueberries – Cold, thick, and antioxidant royalty.
- Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) – Protein powerhouse. Full-fat = extra creamy.
- Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored) – Optional, but highly encouraged.
- Milk of choice – Almond, oat, dairy… use whatever’s in your fridge.
- Chia seeds or flaxseeds – Tiny but mighty. Optional, but good for fiber.
- Honey or maple syrup – Just a drizzle, if needed.
- Vanilla extract – Small splash, big upgrade.
Optional Toppings (aka the fun part)
- Fresh blueberries
- Granola
- Sliced banana
- Nut butter drizzle
- Coconut flakes
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add everything to the blender.
Toss frozen blueberries, yogurt, protein powder, milk, seeds, honey, and vanilla into your blender. Yes, all at once. We love efficiency. - Blend until thick and creamy.
Start slow, then increase speed. You’re aiming for soft-serve ice cream vibes, not soup. Add a splash of milk only if needed. - Taste and adjust.
Too tart? Add a little more honey. Too thick? Tiny splash of milk. This is your bowl—act accordingly. - Pour into a bowl.
If it doesn’t slowly ooze, you did it right. Smoothie bowls should have drama. - Add toppings.
Go minimalist or full Pinterest mode. Either way, it’ll taste great. - Eat immediately.
Smoothie bowls wait for no one. Grab a spoon and enjoy.

This smoothie bowl is packed with protein to keep you full and energized, making it ideal for breakfast or post-workout fuel. Blueberries bring antioxidants to the party, while yogurt supports gut health. Personally, I love that it feels indulgent but still leaves me energized instead of sluggish. IMO, that’s the sweet spot.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Adding too much liquid – Congrats, you made a smoothie. Not the goal.
- Using fresh instead of frozen blueberries – You’ll lose thickness. Frozen = superior.
- Skipping protein entirely – Still good, but less filling.
- Overblending – Warm smoothie bowls are not the vibe.
- Forgetting to taste – Don’t blindly trust recipes. Even this one.
Alternatives & Substitutions
- Swap blueberries for mixed berries if that’s what you have.
- Dairy-free yogurt works great—just choose a thicker variety.
- No protein powder? Add nut butter or extra yogurt instead.
- Oats in the blender for extra staying power.
- Spinach add-in if you’re feeling virtuous (you won’t taste it).
Personally, I stick with blueberries—they’re reliable, tasty, and don’t overpower everything else.
