Blueberry Peanut Butter Smoothie
This dreamy, creamy, blueberry peanut butter smoothie is perfect for breakfast or snacking! Filled with frozen blueberries, peanut butter and sweetened with a bit of honey, it’s healthy and delicious. Dairy free and gluten free with vegan option.
This smoothie was created out of pure desperation.
I woke up starving last weekend and realized that we were completely out of food. Eggs? Gone. English muffins? Nowhere to be found.
I decided I was too hungry (and grouchy) to attempt a trip to the grocery store before eating, so gosh darn it I was going to make something out of a little milk, yogurt and frozen blueberries.
Smoothie it was.
Except the smoothie seemed a little plain to me, so why not throw in some peanut butter? You know, kind of like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
My husband thought I was a little crazy for doing it, and I probably wasn’t in the best frame of mind at the time, but hey, why not? Turns out that I really liked the end result.
The hint of peanut butter and sweetness from the honey made this smoothie seem a little special (but still with the same base that I love with all the frozen berries and yogurt).
So if you’re feeling a little adventurous give this a try. It wasn’t my husband’s thing – he likes his smoothie with all fruit – but I figure that some of you may be like me and will enjoy this.

Was looking for a recipe like this with no bananas. This was fantastic! Substituted the honey with dates and it was amazing. I’m not a big fan of blueberries but with peanut butter it’s genius.
I’m so happy to hear this Nashara! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know 🙂
Hi,I love smoothies, they are a big help in my weight lose venture. I made a few personal changes… blueberry greek yogurt , pineapple flaxseed, and 2 hand fulls of spinach…have to have some veggies (:.I also added some oats which will keep you full longer. Make sure to add oats to blender and blend until it turns into a fine powder. Then add everything else.
Those changes sound delicious! I’m with you – I throw spinach in just about every smoothie I make. So glad you enjoyed it!
This was SO delicious! I’m allergic to bananas and so many smoothie recipes have bananas. This is going to be one I make often! Thank you fo sharing!! I used low-fat vanilla yogurt instead of the Greek yogurt and extract. I also used soy milk and chai seeds instead with only 1 tablespoon of honey. So good! And my two-year-old loves it too!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it!! Thanks for taking the time to let me know! And I hear you – I get stomach aches when I eat raw bananas so I’m always making smoothies without them!
Oooh I’ve been searching for a banana-free berry smoothie. Seems like every smoothie recipe has bananas. Hate bananas but love peanut butter. Need to try this! Thank you!
Enjoy!!
I threw a couple handfuls of spinach in with this and it tastes GREAT!
So glad you enjoyed it Justin! I’ve just gotten into adding spinach to smoothies and really like it. I’m going to have to try adding it to this one next time!
Just made this, but I substituted flaxseed for almonds because I had it lying around too. It was marvelous!
Hi Lacey! So happy you enjoyed it!
Just made this and it was absolutely amazing. At first, I’m not gonna lie I was skeptical of whether or not it would taste good. Blueberries and peanut butter just never sounded right but I had those two ingredients that I needed to get rid of, came across this on Google and it was great.
Will definitely be making again!
So glad you enjoyed it Billy! I know – it sounds weird but it somehow just works!
This was delicious and not too thick. I substituted with unsweetened almond milk. Thanks so much for this great recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it Rachel!
This smoothie recipe is fantastic! I also was scrounging for ingredients this morning– no bananas even since we just returned from a trip– and this tastes great! I used vanilla yogurt instead of greek yogurt and just left off the splash of vanilla. Healthy morning breakfast saved! Thank you 🙂
I love this : ) Sounds exactly like my morning the first time I made this!
This combination makes perfect sense to me, although I haven’t every tried it – it’s a smoothie PB&J! I too have such a weakness for peanut butter. I like it in nearly everything, but I have a particular weakness when it comes to eating a spoonful of the stuff straight-up as a snack.
Exactly!! haha oh gosh me too … I definitely eat a spoonful for a snack sometimes
Smoothies are the best! Especially blueberries, they are my favorite berry. 😀 Gorgeous photo Ashley – love the mason jar presentation!
Thanks Jess! I have a thing for mason jars : )
Oh man peanut butter and blueberries what great combination, I love eating both together never thought I could put it into a smoothie..
I never thought to put them together until recently either!
I make nearly the same smoothie regularly to have with my breakfast. Sometimes with Strawberries. Only difference – I also add 1/2 banana, some chia seeds, and 1 heaping Tbs of unsweetened cocoa (!). Delish!
I love the idea of using strawberries … bet that’s delicious!
I’m trying this one in the morning for sure! I’ve been having a peanut butter/ frozen banana/chocolate meal replacment/water/ice shake every day. I love peanut butter!
Hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!
This smoothie looks great for my son (he’s 2 1/2). I am going to give it a try the next time we’re low on supplies. We always have all of those ingredients on hand. Thanks!!
Thanks Nicole! Let me know how it goes if you give it a try : )
So simple, and a great recipe! Love PB and berries 🙂
Thanks Katrina! Same – I don’t think I can ever get enough of either : )
This smoothie looks delicious! I’m beyond excited to get home to my Vitamix with all these amazing smoothie recipes being posted, this one no exception! Also, love the styling in these photos. Such cute straws! 🙂
Thanks Rachel! I had ordered them for a baby shower but the extras are fun for food photo styling : )
I hate that feeling, when you’re all out of the food you’re craving. This smoothie sounds like a pretty good solution. Its been a while since I’ve thrown blueberries in smoothies, but probably only about 5 minutes since I’ve had peanut butter. So I’m thinking I’m due for both, right? 😉
Definitely due for both : )
It makes sense to me, Ashley. I eat peanut butter with blueberry jelly all the time, so why not? It sounds very good. Sometimes having no food in the house pays off!
Right? haha at least I think so!
