Great idea! I also try and keep bananas in the freezer and have blueberry smoothies all year round.

Smoothies are a great way to use flash-frozen fruit out of season, too. I’ve been known to sneak a bit of vanilla frozen yogurt into our summer smoothies.

green tea & blueberries what an antioxidant power house! I love frozen blueberries in smoothies, they are the bomb, and that color!

Veggie Belly – I know…gorgeous isn’t it?! This color would make such a bold paint color too, especially for a bathroom or accent wall.

Jen – Anti-aging slant: Maybe I should have renamed this drink the Smoothie of Youth?! The more I think about it, the better idea that seems!

Katerina – Keeping a supply of bananas in the freezer is something I just picked up from this post, myself. Can’t believe I never thought of doing that before, but I’m always thrilled to learn something new from the innkeepers I work with or other food bloggers and cooks, as it’s often the obvious ideas that escape me.

Lydia – Frozen vanilla yogurt & blueberries is ALWAYS a good combination!

Chloe – Thanks for the photo compliment—these smoothies are so good, I really needed to do them justice.

Kristen – It’s that stunning color—a sure attention grabber.

Pigpigscorner – I agree. This is a perfect & interesting use of green tea, and it’s hard to believe this smoothie is so good for you when you’re drinking it because it tastes so darn good! Nice being able to enjoy something for breakfast (or any time of the day really) that doesn’t make you feel guilty for consuming it.

This looks so similar to the smoothie I made last night! I had one with blueberries, yogurt, honey and milk. It was so/so though — I think I need to hone my smoothie-making skills.

Mmmmmm . . . blueberry anything is so good. Nice idea with the green tea though. Double your antioxidant dose of the day! I’m with Lydia — I love to freeze blueberries and use them for all sorts of stuff all year long. Absolutely the easiest fruit to freeze on a tray,

It has been so hot lately that those blueberry smoothies look incredibly refreshing. Do you pick blueberries around here? If so, where have you gone?

Ella sat down the other day and ate an entire quart of blueberries in one sitting. The girl loves those things!

Is there any substitute for the banana? I’m allergic to them.

I would think ANY other fruit could be a great substitute… try it with some frozen strawberries, which I do if I don’t have frozen bananas. Just make sure you use frozen fruit so you don’t have to use ice cubes and water it down.
Sandie, your pictures were amazing…that rich color makes these smoothies look as good as they taste! Isn’t that what good cuisine is all about?

Perfect dish especially for this time of year were having an oven turned on sounds horribly miserable.

Plus there is something fun about picking blueberries too. Although our grocery stores always seem to suck compared to the farmer’s market.

Gah! This look soooo good. Too bad it’s not summer anymore. I want some fresh blueberries!

Wow summer is at the corner and this is a perfect dessert! I will try it with other kind of berries as we don’t have blueberries here in Turkey.
