Blueberry Coconut Smoothie
This Blueberry Coconut Smoothie is a great smoothie to serve for breakfast, or snack time. It’s such a colorful treat too!
I like to be a contrarian. When it’s cold outside, I make smoothies. You may find me during the heat of summer sipping cocoa. Maybe. I can. It’s allowed ya know? Whether you’re a rebel or not, even when it’s cold outside, a smoothie can hit the spot as a quick breakfast for on the go, a light lunch, or for an afternoon snack. And if you’re in need of lightening your intake up a bit, while this is a sweet treat, it sure is a healthier choice than a a bowl of ice cream, and it’s so colorful. It makes me happy!
When making smoothies we enjoy experimenting with different combinations of fruits, nuts, and juices. I’ve settled on a few favorites, especially this one: a Blueberry Coconut Smoothie. Would it be bad thing if I admitted that I’ve had one every day for the past week? Okay, maybe two weeks, but who’s counting?
Yeah, you could say I kinda like it. I think you will too.
Since this recipes calls for frozen fruit, you’ll have to keep working with the blender, stirring, and blending until smooth. I like mine thick. For a thinner consistency, add more liquid, a little at a time, until it’s to your liking. And of course, as with any recipe—especially smoothies—try adding other fruits or spices to make it uniquely yours. Cinnamon would be fabulous!
Happy smoothie making! Enjoy! And be sure to share any smoothie combinations that you’ve discovered. I’m a smoothie making machine y’all.

I’m tickled that you’re here! Like you, I wear many hats, and live to tell about it. This space is a place for sharing food, home, garden, travel and lifestyle tidbits, with some fun always thrown in for good measure.
Amy, I bet this is awesome with the acai juice–it kind of tastes like blueberry to me. 🙂
I’ve been a smoothie making machine too….it’s been my breakfast of choice the last few months. Love to sip and drive! 🙂
Blueberries make the prettiest smoothies don’t they? I love that you added coconut in this, I never have done that! Will try!
Absolutely delicious! My fav smoothie lately has been a green monster. Usually it consists of spinach, a banana and almond milk. Yummy!
Love the photo, it looks delicious. I always use plain yogurt, mixed frozen berries, mixed frozen tropical fruit, orange juice and a little bit vanilla extract to make smoothies. Have never tried to add coconut into my smoothies, next time I will give it try. Again photo looks awesome!
I love the flavor combo on this. I have blueberries in the freezer from last season. I go back and forth with what smoothies I like and I welcome this idea of paring the with coconut.
Oh wow how pretty!
I’m the same way, I LOVE cold ice cream and smoothies in the dead of winter. This sounds absolutely heavenly this fine frosty morning!
This looks so goo! I like a little almond milk in mine as a milk substitute too. Yum!
Such gorgeous color! The flavor combination sounds amazing. I think smoothies are good any time of the year. I will definitely have to give this one a try!
This sounds so delicious I wish I had one right now! I recently moved to Hawaii and this definitely sounds like a Hawaiian drink =)
Looks delicious – as always! I’m doing a lot of juicing this winter, which is refreshing but a lot less chilling than a traditional smoothie.
Mmm…such a delicious treat!
Funny, I am the same way. I love icy drinks in the winter & steamy i the summer. Granted I drink a few of each every day! Love the shake!
This looks delicious. Wish I weren’t out of yogurt, and I’d go make myself one right now! 🙂
YUM!! I LOVE smoothies & especially coconut!!
Yummy! I make protein smoothies all winter long for my high school swimmer son. It’s a grueling 3-1/2 month long season with 8 practices and 1 or 2 meets a week. Unless he eats a lot of really good food, he gets so rundown and depleted. I put fresh spinach in all the smoothies I make for him. If I add blueberries (shhh, don’t rat me out), he cant tell because the blue color of the berries hides the green color of the spinach. The spinach doesn’t change the flavor as far as I can tell. I use full-fat plain yogurt, coconut milk, whey protein, tons of (usually frozen) berries, a banana, and fresh spinach. It’s thick just the way you like your smoothies, too.
BTW: I’ve never used frozen spinach.
Love the color of this smoothie!
Hmmmm – this smoothie looks like it would go down so easy. Such delicious flavors.
Oh heavenly!! Looks wonderful!
Yum! I love my smoothies thick too. I put my smoothie in a bowl and top it with granola and warmed up honey (so the honey doesn’t congeal before I can mix it in).
Yhis looks gorgeous and tempting since it’s kind of hot where I live 🙂
Love the color of your smoothie and the addition of coconut. My kids love smoothies and we make all kinds. I usually include banana which adds creaminess (frozen sliced bananas make the smoothie nice and cold). Sometimes we make mango, papaya, and pineapple smoothies, strawberry banana smoothies, mixed berry smoothies. I was just about to make one with kiwi, pineapple and oranges.
Your pictures are freakin’ GORGEOUS, Amy!!! I mean, they always are, but it’s HARD to get a pretty picture of a drink…and these are STUNNING!!! Blueberry growers need to pay you to use them in their ads.
I do believe this will be my afternoon pick-me-up! Absolutely gorgeous recipe and photographs!!!
I can see why you’ve had one of these everyday. Gorgeous!
Oh that looks tasty!! I hope you’re training is going well! This is a good after run snack!
Blueberry and coconut is such a delicious combination. One that I would love to enjoy first thing in the morning 🙂
Well, yeah, there’s no rules that you can’t enjoy smoothies during winter. Let’s face it, even when its cold we sometimes get the urge to eat ice cream or smoothies.
I drink smoothies all year round and have been on quite a kick lately! Love the combination of blueberries and coconut.
Oh that looks sweet and lazy. Yep, a perfectly lazy for sipping and swinging in my hammock smoothie. Gorgeous photos!
Hello!!!
I love using Blueberries, Strawberries and Raspberries(heavy on the raspberries-all frozen) with just water(less calories). Blend them until smooth, then add vanilla protein powder and raw almonds. The Almonds add a great texture!
A *contrarian*…I love that about you.
I could dive right into that gorgeous glass and live forever.
This looks delicious!!
this looks just amazing!!! Here from Tidy Mom – Hello!
This is delicious! I think the color is gorgeous as well! My favor smoothie is still my homemade peanut butter, chocolate and strawberry smoothie! Not as healthy but delicious!

What a smoothie! Thank you!
The color of this smoothie alone makes me crave one right now!
Picked up the ingredients after reading this and made it when I got home from a work out. It was just what I needed, filling and fresh. The coconut wasn’t super overpowering so I wonder what coconut milk in the mix would taste like.
Thanks for the recipe!
looks and sounds delicious – is one I will certainly try !!!!!
i made this smoothie last night and LOVED it. i used plain coconut milk yogurt, and unsweetened vanilla coconut milk to enhance the flavor. i also used Naked brand blueberry pomegranate juice. so so delicious!
This looks sooo yummy! Love the deep purple color…definitely have to try it 🙂 I love to make a delicious green smoothie with a few handfuls of kale or spinach, 5-7 frozen strawberries, half apple, banana, just a bit of orange juice (maybe 1/4 cup) and 2 tbsp vanilla greek yogurt. It ends up being a gorgeous bright green and healthy and delicious! Even my kids love it and I feel great giving it to them. My vitamix blends it up within seconds so it’s quick and easy!!
This looks amazing! I am going to try it, as right now I mostly do veggie smoothies and I’d love to switch it up. I drink a daily green smoothie that I love: kale, cuke, apple, lemon, celery all blended together. So good!!
wow! loved it actually. Time to learn more about green smoothies!
This is our new favorite smoothie and this a.m. we put a handful of spinach in while blending.
Mr didn’t even know it was in there.
Hello Barb,
So good to hear that! It’s my favorite too. I’m still trying to create some other combinations that I like as much, but no luck yet.
This looks and sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it!!!
Thank you for a banana-free smoothie recipe! This looks delightful!
