Blueberries and Greek yogurt are a wonderful combination in any form. So it goes without saying they make for a great smoothie.
It’s good to include some greens in your smoothies, especially if you are not good at eating them. The combination of greens and blueberries can give a yucky mud colored result, depending on which greens and how much you use, but don’t let that put you off as it is good for you and the flavor is disguised by the fruit. (Use lighter-colored greens rather than spinach or kale if the color puts you off.)
Saying something is good for you always makes me think of yucky medicine as a child; being told it was good for me didn’t help it go down any easier, lol. That is not the case here!
The recipe is from Liz DellaCroce at TheLemonBowl (and tweaked ever so slightly!) I loved this comment from Liz …
Boost Brain Power: Studies show that just the smell of cinnamon can actually help boost brain function. Given how little sleep I’m running on these days I need all the help I can get in this department.
I’m all for the added benefits from the smell of foods, lol!

Recipe: Blueberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie from 160 Calories
Serves 1-2
All calorie calculations are an estimate. Calorie-content varies according to product and accuracy of measurement. Check the info on your packaging if you require exact numbers for what you eat.
Ingredients:
- 1 Banana
- 1/2 cup chopped Kale
- 1 cup Blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1/2 – 1 cup plain low fat Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 – 1 c Water, start with less and increase as desired
- 2 tablespoon Flax seeds, then grind
- 1/2-1 tsp Cinnamon, to taste
- two handfuls Ice or more to taste
Optional: 1 scoop protein powder*
OR increase the Greek yogurt to 1 cup to increase the protein
(recipe calories calculated with 1/2 cup which is 65 calories and 10 g protein)
Blend until smooth and enjoy.
*Note: unless you are very active you do not need huge amounts of protein powder. 1 scoop usually has 25-30 grams of protein. This is more than half of what you require if you have a sedentary job without serious exercise. Remember, any protein that is not used is stored as fat which is why we put on weight if we do not pay attention to what is in our meals.
Serves 2; approx 160 cals each
Serves 1; approx 320 cals each
