Blueberry Banana Bliss Smoothie

A healthy recipe was much needed, and now that it's already February 5th, I only have less than 8 more weeks until spring break. So, here's some healthy motivation for those of you who will also soon be departing for someplace warm! I'm thinking of doing a spring break smoothie series, so stay tuned for some more delicious, wholesome, smoothie recipes!

This one is a velvety smooth, blueberry banana bliss smoothie, and it is for sure the one I make most often. Super simple and healthy. I always use frozen fruit for my smoothies because it tastes a lot better, but I feel like I'm slowly killing my blender. Make sure you have a really strong blender that can rip through frozen fruit. I use the Magic Bullet, but I'm thinking of getting a NurtiBullet or Ninja. 

Greek yogurt is what really gives this smoothie it's velvety texture. I used a little less then 1 individual pack of Chobani blueberry Greek yogurt, which are 5.3 oz, if that gives you an idea about how much yogurt you should use. It's probably equivalent to 3 heaping tablespoons. 

This recipe makes 2 masons jars. It is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack, and whether you're a smoothie lover or not, you have to try this!
