Blueberry Muffin Smoothie tastes just like the baked good — minus all the sugar and flour! This healthy, gluten free smoothie is a real treat.
Have y’all seen the size of the blueberry muffins they’re selling at Costco these days?
Each one is the size of an individual cake, with the same amount of sugar — woof!
They don’t make blueberry muffins like they used to (ie small and lightly-sweetened) so the next time you’ve got a craving for a soft and squishy, berry-packed muffin — may I recommend this naturally sweetened, thick and creamy Blueberry Muffin Smoothie instead?
It’s crazy how much it tastes like the real thing!

Healthy Blueberry Muffin Smoothie
Protein-packed vanilla greek yogurt is blended with milk, frozen blueberries, frozen banana, lemon zest, ice, and old fashioned oats until it’s thick, smooth, and perfectly sippable.
Super refreshing, full of protein, and the perfect breakfast, snack, or afternoon pick me up.
I credit the blueberries for giving this smoothie such a superb blueberry flavor, of course, but the addition of lemon zest, vanilla yogurt, and raw, uncooked old fashioned oats takes it from being a blueberry smoothie to blueberry muffin smoothie.
It’s wild to drink something that you typically eat!
Start by adding milk into a blender. I use unsweetened almond milk but you can use whatever milk you’ve got on hand for drinking.
Next add an individual-sized container (4-6oz) of Vanilla Greek Yogurt. The vanilla flavor is one of the ingredients that really makes this smoothie taste like a muffin, plus the protein content gives it staying power.
Next add frozen blueberries.
Can I give you a hot tip? Anytime I’m cleaning blueberries after buying a clamshell at the store, I take any of the soft ones I know my children won’t eat and add them to a bag of blueberries I keep in the freezer for smoothies. So much less waste this way!
To the blender add frozen banana — I start with 1/2 then add the other half if I want more sweetness.
Tip: always peel a banana prior to freezing as the peel is impossible to remove once frozen.
All you have to do is peel the banana then place it inside a ziplock back and squish. There’s no need to uniformly slice the banana as the chunks will come right out of the bag.
Finally, add ice, old fashioned oats, and lemon zest.
The smoothie will still be delicious without the lemon zest, but it really drives home that baked muffin flavor. It’s wild!
Turn the blender on then blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy!
I’m telling you – thick, not-too-sweet, and bursting with blueberry muffin flavor. Love this combo! Enjoy!

I’m not a huge fan of blueberries in general but don’t mind having them in something. I tried this recipe and it blew me out of the water. I used 1/2 a banana and added 2 tbsp of organic cane sugar and I’m utterly shocked how good this came out! 10/10! This is going in the recipe book and may used in the future for ice pops. Big hit with the kids too.
LOVE to hear this, Lyndsey!! Thrilled you gave it a shot. Thank you so much for your feedback and recipe rating!
Your website is not great. All I want is a recipe. I don’t want to get stuck looking at an ad I can’t close out of. I will never look at this site again. Too bad I can’t make the blueberry muffin smoothie recipe. Found a different website bc your ads took over, and were super aggressive.
Tell us more about your horrible soul, while you consume content someone else took the time to provide for free and then give nothing back except your trash replies.
Dang, you must be really bored if this is what consumes your time. BTW Kristian Porter! LOVE THS RECIPE, made it for myself and my brother when he was sick God bless all who read this
I didn’t have a zester or cheese grater so I made this without the lemon zest. Holy COW this is delicious! 11/10 will definitely make again, next time with the lemon zest!
So thrilled you loved it, Holli!! Thank you so much for your feedback and recipe rating, too!
As a creature who enjoys privacy I do not regularly rate anything on websites. I was compelled to for this recipe. Its of the best blueberry concoctions out there. Thank you and Kudo to you and your team.
Wow! Awesome recipe, i love blueberry alot, looking forward to make this recipe tommorow.
Delicious and such a change from our normal ingredients. I loved the lemon zest flavor!
So glad to hear that, Briana! Thanks for your feedback and recipe rating! :D
If I don’t have vanilla yogurt but do have regular plain yogurt, can I use that and just add in vanilla extract instead? If so, how much should I use?
Tastes amazing, just like a blueberry crisp!
Wohoo! Just what I like to hear. :) So glad you enjoyed it, Chris!
First time making a smothie.Until I can get to the store to buy almond milk…I’m going to use my Almond creamer and reduce it with some milk since it is sweet.Can I use regular dried oatmeal since I don’t have the Gluten Free Oatmeal on hand.
what is the nutrition info for this? cals? carbs? etc. thanks.
I try not to eat yogurt anymore – do you have any suggestions for an alternative?
Silken tofu and some lemon juice is a good yogurt sub
This smoothie is so good!
I just made this smoothie and added less oats, for concern about the texture being grainy and only put a tablespoon of Greek yogurt, due to dairy sensitivity. Overall, it turned out really good. Me and my 2 girls all like it and agree that it tastes like a blueberry muffin!
