🥤 Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup roasted peanuts, unsalted
- 1½ cups cold water
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or your preferred sweetener
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup ice cubes, optional
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the blueberries if using fresh berries. If using frozen blueberries, you can add them directly to the blender.
2. Add the Peanuts
Place the peanuts into a high-speed blender. Blend them briefly first to break them into smaller pieces.
3. Add the Blueberries
Add the blueberries to the blender.
4. Add Water
Pour in the cold water. For a thicker smoothie, start with 1 cup and add more as needed.
5. Add the Remaining Ingredients
Add honey, chia or flaxseeds, and vanilla extract.
6. Blend
Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
7. Adjust the Texture
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water. If you want it colder and thicker, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
8. Serve
Pour immediately into a glass and enjoy.
💡 Tips
- Frozen blueberries make the smoothie colder and thicker.
- For a creamier version, replace some of the water with milk or unsweetened yogurt.
- You can use dates instead of honey for sweetness.
- A small amount of cinnamon can add a warm flavor.
- If using peanut butter instead of whole peanuts, use about 2 tablespoons.
