Blend up this refreshing blueberry flaxseed smoothie for breakfast this week! It is fiber packed from the flaxseed, protein-packed from the greek yogurt and perfectly sweet from the blueberries!
Superfood Flax Seed Smoothie
When in doubt, make a smoothie! This blueberry flax superfood smoothie is one of the most nutrient-packed smoothies, ever. We love this smoothie because it is made with simple ingredients, yet is creamy and delicious.
What You Need
We packed this smoothie with healthy ingredients that are accessible to everyone! Let’s break down all of the ingredients and why they are healthy!
- Blueberries- You can find blueberries in most of the frozen sections at the grocery store! They are packed with fiber, potassium, and vitamin C!
- Ground Flaxseed– Say hello to the nutrient-packed ground flaxseed! Flaxseed is known for being super high in fiber and omega 3 fatty acids!
- Spinach- You don’t have to be forced by your mom to eat your spinach! When you blend spinach into a smoothie you can’t even taste it! Spinach is packed with protein, iron, vitamins, and minerals. WOWWY.
- Greek yogurt- Greek yogurt is the key to making smoothies creamy! Greek yogurt is also loaded with protein!
- Almond Milk- When it comes to milk alternatives, we are big fans of almond milk! Almond milk just happens to be high in protein and low in calories, too!

That’s so awesome that you and Davida are friends! I enjoy reading both of your blogs!
This blueberry smoothie looks so refreshing! I like you how you didn’t have to use too many ingredients!
Love this! I have a very similar smoothie recipe going up tomorrow. We’re on the same wavelength.
Great minds think alike! Mwahaha!!
bueno recipe!!
I have made friends with people online that ended up becoming best friends in real life! I love that! And that smoothie looks amazing. Holy yum.
I like this recipe! I add flax seeds to almost everything: smoothies, quark, yogurt, muesli, omelette… I have a big tablespoon everyday. I will give this a try since I do have all the ingredients in the fridge (and freezer) YAY!
Through my instagram account I’ve found two amazing girls that I now can call my two best friends! We haven’t met personally yet but are planning on this. (I’m German, the two are Dutch and Swedish) It’s great to be able to connect to like minded people from all over the world through instagram, blogs etc and the whole healthy living community!
That is so awesome! I seriously love how the internet connects like-minded people!
Wow that picture of half ingredients half smoothie is awesome!! I love blueberry smoothies and this one looks delicious! I am glad you had a great weekend with your Bestie 🙂
Thanks! It’s such a fun graphic to make 😀 I have a tutorial prepped…I just need to post it 😀
What an awesome weekend! I was so excited to find your blog since you are a fellow Minnesotan, and that ultimately led me to Davida’s, so THANK YOU!
I do have a blend turned real friend – Laura from Laura Likes Design. Met at first because I won a giveaway, and then when HLS rolled around, we both ended up going and it was history after that! And I find it is so crazy how similar her and I are.
SO FUN! I love that blogging connects people on such deep levels! Where in MN do you live?! I’m feeling a MN blogger meet-up soon.
It is so oddly wonderful! I’m up in good ol’ Duluth, but always willing to make a trek to the cities!
Yes! My husband (of 10 years) and my best friend Susan (from Canada)!
I’d add Chia to your smoothie…for the extra nutritional PUNCH! Love your blog.
I LOVE how the internets connects people. So cool you met your husband online! I need more chia. ASAP.
I also met my husband online and I got him to move from Canada 😉 (long story) We just got a big bag of flax seed and freezing up some berry so really excited about this recipe. I also second adding chai seeds!
That is so cool! I love how the internets connects people 😀
