This Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie packs all the yummy flavors of a blueberry muffin into a healthy, high-protein smoothie.
This week, we made THIS Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie for breakfast and I'm still swooning. OMG so much yumminess in a mason jar. Just like my Pink Power Protein Smoothie and Orange Protein Shake.
I really love how easy this recipe comes together, and how the flavors really remind you of a blueberry muffin. Is it exactly like a muffin, warm from the oven? No, to get that, I recommend making these homemade blueberry muffins.
But, for a quick breakfast smoothie, this is definitely a keeper.

Recipe Substitutions
Fruit Substitutions
While I love the blueberry flavors of this smoothie, any frozen fruit will do. For example, you could use:
- strawberries
- bananas
- blackberries
- cherries
Protein Substitutions
If you are looking to add additional nutrients and protein to your smoothie, here are some great options:
- homemade peanut butter
- almond butter
- cashew butter
- whole fat plain greek yogurt
- whole fat cottage cheese
- flaxseeds
- chia seeds
- hemp seeds
- egg whites (pasteurized)
Dairy Substitutions
I use unsweetened almond milk and greek yogurt in this recipe, but any milk and yogurt combo will work. I recommend looking for mmilks and yogurts that are low in added sugar. My favorite is Fage Full Fat yogurt, plain.
Basically, peeps, if you like blueberries, blueberry muffins, sweet goodness, delicious fruity yumminess, and/or protein shakes in general, chances are you're gonna LOVE this blueberry muffin protein shake.
It's like a blueberry muffin got all rolled up into a delicious, high-protein breakfast shake. Nom.

I added a cup of spinach and used a Blueberry Muffin protein powder. It came out delicious! Definitely keeping this recipe handy!
Lacey Baier
Awesome, I've never tried adding spinach! Great idea 🙂

I have a dumb question. What brand of Almond Milk do you use? I have never bought any. Don't know anything about them or even if I would like the taste.
Ava
No such thing as a "dumb question." Almond Breeze, Califia and Silk are brands that carry almond milk.
Lacey Baier
I use the organic version of the HEB brand, which is my local grocery chain. Just look for minimal ingredients 🙂
Donna
Hi there! This looks super yum and very easy, but I hav3 a question: It calls for a 2 minute prep time and a 2 minutes cook time. Do I really need to cook it? Or is that how long I need to blend it?
Lacey Baier
lol that's blending - there's no real great way to add that into the recipe instructions.
Melissa Christensen
I made this recipe for my husband and & I. I added 2 cups of spinach to it too. It was so delicious! We both loved it!
Lacey Baier
Yay! So glad y'all liked it!!
