This Chocolate Blueberry Smoothie is made without banana but uses plenty of blueberries and chocolate so you know it has to be good.
So you know how everyone talks about chocolate covered strawberries and how they’re the best? Yeah well I was going to make a chocolate strawberry smoothie only to realize I was out of strawberries so I thought why not make a chocolate blueberry smoothie instead?
Believe it or not, I don’t think I tried a blueberry until I was in high school. I used to be a really picky eater and would hardly ever try new things. My mom would buy all sorts of berries and the only kind I would eat were strawberries. I think it’s normal for little kids to be picky eaters but high schoolers? Not so much. I’m so glad I’m over that phase and on to bigger and better things, aka blueberries.
BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS
- frozen blueberries — this is a personal preference, but frozen blueberries tend to have more flavor than fresh ones (in smoothies anyway!), so I prefer using them, plus they result in a thicker smoothie
- cacao or unsweetened cocoa powder
- chia seeds
- maple syrup
- almond milk or milk of choice — any kind of milk will work, but be sure to keep it dairy free if you’re vegan

I love the recipes ๐ ..sometimes I also add spinach but still it won’t really change the taste ! Yum
It seems weird that blueberries and cacao should go so well together… but they do. I’ve been craving a blueberry smoothie, but it has been WAY TOO COLD yesterday and today for one! Maybe next week when I get back!!
Growing up blueberries and strawberries were my JAMMMM. Not literally, I liked them whole, but they obviously can be jam. Anyway….I love smoothies. Especially ones that have chocolate in it. ๐
Girl, I never tried a blueberry up until about 2 years ago. Can you believe we waited so long? We’re crazy!! LOL
This recipe sounds delicious! I love the raw ingredients used. If only smoothies stayed good through the mail, I’d have you ship me right now ๐ I wonder how itd taste with chocolate milk or chocolate coconut water. Itd be double the chocolate. YUM!
Yep! This girl still needs to try Cacao nibs!!!
This is the most perfect recipe for a smoothie – Why? Because I’ve made pretty much the same smoothie but with strawberries however I brought a huge tub of blueberries today so this is definitely happening this week! ๐
Ahhh I haven’t made it with strawberries (um…weird?) but I have made it with raspberries so I figured blueberries would work too ๐
Love the word veganized ๐ This looks really awesome! … Except I don’t have chia seeds. ๐
Yum, this sounds delicious!! Do they sell chocolate covered blueberries?! If not that should definitely become a thing ๐
I believe they do–Brookside berries!
I gathered blueberry in the summer in the wood and, of course, I ate very much! After you will taste forest blueberry, you won’t be able to buy it in shop more ๐ By the way, the blueberry frozen in coconut yogurt is also magnificent, as blueberry with chocolate ๐
Ahhh I’ve never picked them fresh but I bet they are amazing.
Yummm!! I may have just pinned each and every one of these photos because I’m a huge fan of everything about this post. And yay for veganizing… here’s one gal who certainly appreciates it ๐ oh, and anything cacao + berry and I’m totally in. Pour me a glass!
Hhaha yes if anyone would appreciate ‘veganize’ I think it’d be you ๐ Thanks for pinning!
Mhmm this looks delicious! I’ve been on a big blueberry kick lately and have a huge bag in my fridge. I’ll have to give these a go!
Along with that, your photography is getting better and better by the day! Great job!
Thanks girl ๐ I’m tryinggggg haha just gotta keep practicing!
Sounds tasty! I love buying blueberries in bulk and freezing them for smoothies, but I just ran out ๐
So I switched up my blueberry superfood smoothie with chocolate protein powder and it was bombbbbb. P.s. I like the straws. I picked up sick straws this weekend from a place in Toronto and I think I am overly excited about them lol
Thanks girl I needed something more exciting than the boring ones I was using–excited to see your straws. ……sounds so weird.
This is how I make my protein smoothies!! Well minus the maple syrup and chia seeds, but still close enough haha. Chocolate and blueberries are just winners!
You didn’t try a blueberry until you were a teenager? I hope you’re making up for lost time by eating copious amounts now! I love berries, and I especially love warmed up blueberries because they get all juicy. Yum
Hahhh I know, weird right? I’m about to be eating looooots of blueberries now that they’re about to be in season!
The smoothie sounds delish. I’ve been obsessed with avocados these past few months so I’d probably add half of one to mine.
I think I’ve always loved blueberries, especially when they’re frozen!
Ahh great idea I didn’t think of that!
I tried a blueberry when I was young, spit it out, and refused to try them again until adulthood, because well, drama queen. Now I’m weird about blueberries because I still don’t particularly like them on their own, but I love them in things like muffins and pancakes and smoothies!
I couldn’t tell you the first time I tried blueberries…but knowing my tastes as a child, it was probably in a pie ๐
Hahah that’s funny because I don’t think I’ve ever had blueberry pie…. *gasp*
Love the word veganized….I think it works! This smoothie looks great Erin! Yum yum!
I looooove blueberries, but I have no idea when I first tried them… I loved them as a child, buuuuut the only way I would eat them was if they were sprinkled with sugar ๐
