Blueberry smoothies with peanut butter are a delicious and nutritious treat that combines the sweetness of blueberries with the creamy richness of peanut butter. To make this delightful concoction, simply blend together fresh or frozen blueberries, a spoonful of creamy peanut butter, some yogurt or milk for creaminess, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness if desired. You can also add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutritional boost.
Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, while peanut butter provides protein and healthy fats, making this smoothie a well-rounded snack or meal replacement. It's a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout.
My favorite part about this shake is the added peanut butter. I just love the creaminess that it gives and it really adds to the flavor. This is my go-to smoothie.
Use a high powered blender to help blend the smoothie. I have the Ninja Foodi Blender.

Why You Will Love This Recipe
I've always wondered why sometimes when I'd make a smoothie I never felt full and then I recently learned from a dietican that you need to add protein, fat, and fiber, to a smoothie to help you feel fuller for longer.
This smoothie has just that. The blueberries and bananas are for fiber, the greek yogurt is for protein, the peanut butter is fat, so the smoothie already a good meal for a balanced breakfast.
If you’re on WW and want to drink smoothies for breakfast, it can be overwhelming at first because of all the misinformation there is about it. Some choose to count it as zero simply because it still works for them and they are still losing weight. Some people just avoid smoothies in general because they are so high in points. If you love smoothies as I do, please don’t avoid them.
Smoothies are higher in points because they are blended fruit and if you only are allowed 23 points a day just one can add up quickly. That is why I would rather just count my calories for the day if I plan on eating a smoothie because this is one rule of WW I don’t really like.
If this blueberry shake is eaten with a spoon then you just have to count the points for the peanut butter and yogurt.
Ingredients for Blueberry Smoothie
- Blueberries - I always use frozen. If you only have fresh blueberries add a couple of cubes of ice to help thicken it up.
- Banana - no replacement
- Peanut Butter - Allergic to peanuts? Use almond butter.
- Yogurt - Greek yogurt has more protein in it and helps make this shake thick. Plain yogurt can be used. For more flavor use vanilla or strawberry yogurt.
- Milk - Any type of milk will work for this. My favorite non-dairy milk is oat or almond.
