⅓cupfresh ripe blueberries*can also use frozen blueberries
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1-2packetsstevia*or sweetener of choice (can also use a tbsp of Whole Earth sweetener, honey or maple syrup-adjust to taste
½tspblue spirulina powder
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a Vitamix or blender and blend until smooth.
Serve immediately.
Notes
A handful of fresh spinach blends right in without affecting the flavor much, though it may slightly shift the color. If you want to maintain the vibrancy of the blue, try a scoop of super greens powder instead.
For an additional 15-30 grams of protein, I highly recommend adding ½ to 1 scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder (especially if you plan to enjoy the smoothie as a meal replacement or post-workout snack).
Wild blueberries work here but will make it more of a vibrant purple.
