Spinach Blueberry Banana Smoothie is a refreshing and creamy vegan drink made without yogurt, perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or energizing snack.
Ready in just 5 minutes, this dairy-free smoothie is a delicious way to start your morning with a boost of flavor and nutrients.
For more delicious blueberry smoothies, try my raspberry blueberry smoothie and beet blueberry smoothie.
This spinach blueberry banana smoothie is one of my favorite go-to drinks because I always keep frozen blueberries in the freezer.
They're perfect for smoothies like my banana pineapple blueberry smoothie, pear blueberry smoothie, or blueberry pineapple smoothie without banana.
The blueberries give a subtle, sweet floral flavor and a beautiful, vibrant color that makes every sip feel like a treat. Naturally sweetened by the fruit, you can't even taste the spinach, but it adds a creamy texture and a boost of nutrients.

🍌Ingredients
- Blueberries: I used frozen blueberries for a thicker, creamier smoothie, but fresh ones will also work.
- Spinach: Baby spinach blends smoothly, but regular spinach works just as well.
- Banana: I used a frozen banana for extra creaminess, though a fresh banana is just as tasty.
- Chia seeds: Add healthy fats, fiber, and help thicken the smoothie naturally.
- Ground flax seeds: Boost the nutrition with omega-3s and give the smoothie extra thickness.
- Dairy-free milk: I used homemade oat milk, but almond, soy, or your favorite plant milk will work perfectly.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.
🔪How To Make Spinach Blueberry Banana Smoothie
Step 1: Combine blueberries, spinach, banana, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and plant milk in a high-speed blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth and frothy. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Hint. If you prefer your smoothies a little sweeter, taste and adjust by adding a teaspoon of maple syrup, agave syrup, or even a date until it reaches your desired sweetness.
📋Substitutions and Variations
- Blueberries: Swap with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries for a different fruity twist.
- Spinach: Use kale or mixed greens if you prefer, though the flavor will be slightly stronger.
- Chia seeds: Use hemp seeds for added protein and healthy fats.
- Ground flax seeds: Substitute with extra chia seeds or leave out if you don't have them.
- Boosters - Add a scoop of vegan protein powder, a spoonful of peanut butter or cashew butter, or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor and nutrition.
💡Marinela's Tips
- Use at least one frozen fruit (banana or blueberries) to make your smoothie extra creamy and chilled without needing ice.
- Blend longer for the smoothest, silkiest texture.
- Make it ahead by freezing pre-portioned smoothie packs (banana, spinach, blueberries, seeds) in bags - just add plant milk and blend in the morning.
