This recipe makes a delicious blueberry and grape smoothie that is so yummy it tastes like a dessert. Serve this smoothie for breakfast or a healthy snack.
This smoothie includes blueberries, red grapes, apples, oranges and chia seeds. The chia seeds are used to slightly increase the protein and fat content therefore making the smoothie more filling.
This blueberry grape smoothie is full of vitamins and minerals that are important for health and the fibre content is good for the gut. It contains around 200 calories so this smoothie is perfect for those trying to reduce the calories in their diet.
I sometimes make this blueberry smoothie recipe in the morning as I don’t always feel like breakfast and it tends to keep me going until lunchtime. The recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and all you need is a blender and a citrus squeezer.
It is also vegan friendly so if you’re looking for a quick healthy breakfast then definitely give this recipe a try.
