Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This simple and healthy Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie is bursting with berry flavor, perfectly creamy, and slightly nutty from peanut butter.

Purple smoothies topped with granola.

This Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie is a breakfast hero! The creamy consistancy make is feel like a decadent shake, the berries are bright and fresh, a banana lends sweetness, and a touch of peanut butter rounds it out with nuttiness. And makes it tastes like a PB&J!

Reasons to love this recipe!

  • A super quick breakfast for getting out the door QUICK!
  • Made with staple ingredients like frozen fruit and milk.
  • It’s vegan, gluten free, paleo, vegetarian, and delicious.

Ingredients and substitutions:

  • Banana - previously peeled and frozen. Or use cauliflower for a lower sugar option.
  • Frozen strawberries
  • Frozen blueberries
  • Milk of choice - I especially like oat milk here. Soy, almond, coconut, dairy, etc. all work.
  • Peanut butter - optional, but extra delicious here!

How to make a strawberry blueberry smoothie:

Blend: Add all the ingredients, except the peanut butter, to the blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides or using the tamper as needed.

Add PB: Once the smoothie is smooth, add in the peanut butter and any other add-ins you like (protein powder, etc.) and blend until smooth. Adding these later on in the blending process keeps them from sticking to the sides of the blender.

Toppings!: Pour into a glass and garnish with optional toppings.

  • Blender filled with banana, blueberries, strawberries, and milk.

Storage:

Smoothies are best when consumed immediately, though it will keep in the fridge overnight.

For longer storage, consider making a freezer smoothie pack and tossing it in the freezer. Mornings just got even easier!

Optional Add-Ins:

I include a basic recipe below, but you can really jazz up your smoothie with some add-ins. You can add any of the following in at the end, once the smoothie is smooth.

  • A handful of spinach or other greens - this is one you would want to add at the beginning before blending the smoothie.
  • 2 tablespoons nut or seed butter - I love peanut butter here!
  • 1-2 scoops protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Superfood powders – greens powder, mushroom powder, adaptogens, etc.
  • ½ cup yogurt – regular, greek, or dairy free

Toppings galore!

Sometime I love this smoothie as is, and other times, I like to jazz it up with some toppings for texture and flavor. Here are ideas, but the sky's the limit.

  • Granola – any flavor is great! I especially love vanilla or peanut butter.
  • Fresh fruit: sliced banana, berries, kiwi, mango, etc.
  • Frozen fruit: frozen berries are great!
  • Freeze dried fruit: a new find for me, freeze dried fruit adds amazing crunch to smoothie bowls! Freeze dried berries, banana, pineapple, and mango, are favorites. I usually purchase them at Trader Joe’s or online.
  • Nuts: almonds, walnuts, coconut, toasted coconut…
  • Nut butters: peanut butter is almost always a must for me! Almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, etc. are all great!
  • Seeds: chia seeds or hemp seeds.
  • Chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
  • A drizzle of honey or agave.
