Blueberry smoothie mornings start your day right with a brightening healthy boost. They can also make a great afternoon dessert with low or no added sugar other than natural fruit.
A dessert blueberry smoothie is super easy to put together in minutes. No baking needed and cool enough for hot temperature days.
And smoothie ingredients in this blueberry cheesecake one are simple and healthy. 🫐 So often we want something sweet in the day.
And instead of going for a high calorie and refined sugar shake or food dessert bite, a blueberry cheesecake smoothie could be the fix for our sweet tooth.
The sugar source is all-natural fruit.
The healthy notes:
Blueberries that have AA goodness in Anthocyanin Antioxidants.
And another great point with blueberries is there is no traces of fruit leftover. So you can enjoy the fruit and not have to think about disposing a seed or core, or recycling a can.
Blueberries are a super smart food choice for more reasons than one!
And this blueberry treat is combined with cottage cheese that gives a balanced cheese “cake” taste. Plus, you’re getting protein, B-vitamins (B-6, B-9, and b-12), calcium, and more.
Blending in a ripe peach 🍑 is the perfect pair (not pear 🍐).
Peaches have lycopene antioxidants like tomatoes. And for a tad more sweetness and Vitamin C, pineapple juice will do the trick.
Hope you give the blueberry smoothie a try and instead of being loaded down, enjoy the healthy energy. ✨
And if your body craves more sugar, adding a little maple syrup sweetness is a good balance to tip this over to the happy dessert edge you deserve while staying cool to your body.
You could also pair this with a cooling blueberry cheesecake and other cool summer dessert recipes. For more antioxidant and healthy foods to add to your grocery list 🛒, check out these 200 anti-inflammatory foods.
