Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie
Strawberry Blueberry Fruit Smoothie Recipe
Our family starting making fruit smoothies about 7 years ago or so. Everyone in my family loves them, and every time I drink one, I feel healthier because all of the ingredients are so nutrient dense, or at least I think. I also like that I am sneaking veggies into my diet. There are so many variations you can make. It’s fun, and they can be different every time for variety and based on the fruit that is in season.
What variations of ingredients do you use? Please feel free to comment. Almost every ingredient is optional, but you need at least one fruit. We JUST got a Vitamix, so I am sure we are going to be coming up with more variations soon! Pictures updated 8/14.

I always add a handful of spinach to my smoothies, but I need to experiment with other veggies too.
Hi Andrea. We started with spinach and carrots. Kale is great, and a LITTLE celery (I don’t like to put more than 1/3 stalk in because celery can actually be quite strong).
Thanks for sharing with us at Kids in the Kitchen! You will LOVE your Vitamix. I have had mine for over 6 years and still use it everyday! It is so worth every penny 🙂 Blessings to you and your healthy eating! Makes my heart sing to see these yummy smoothies.
Hi Carrie, We are totally sold on our Vitamix! It’s such a great investment, especially for eating whole foods and trying to eat more economically by being able to make food from scratch. This is my FAVORITE kitchen tool!
We enjoy smoothies often for breakfast. I will start adding more veggies – we normally do frozen fruit with yogurt added. Thanks so much for sharing this healthy recipe.
We keep adding more and more veggies to our smoothies, always trying to find the best flavors that are pleasant to our pallets. Thanks for stopping by!
Oooh, you’ll love your Vitamix. I use mine several times a day! Thanks for sharing at Healthy 2Day Wednesdays; come back tomorrow and see if you were featured!
We are totally in love with the Vitamix. It’s so amazing, making smoothies, batters, chopping, ice cream, soups, and so much more!
I love adding pineapple to smoothies! Trader joes sells frozen pineapple tidbits that are awesome for smoothies! Coconut butter is also a really tasty addition!
Pineapple is MY FAVORITE ADDITION!! I love it when it’s frozen, too. I’ve never tried coconut butter. Do you get that at TJ’s?
