Blueberry Coconut Almond Smoothie: light and refreshing smoothie with wild blueberries, coconut milk, Greek yogurt and almonds. Perfect light breakfast, lunch or post work-out power snack.

Summer’s coming and I’m excited. Wicked excited. It’s been a bear of a winter around here. Fact is, spring just finally arrived here this past week. I can hear the tinkle of my wind chimes, and that make me happy. We’re finally outdoors more, eating lighter, perhaps wanting to BE a little lighter… (!)

A Blueberry Coconut Almond Smoothie is a refreshing way to eat (drink?) a nutritious, healthy snack or light meal with fewer calories than a sit down lunch or dinner. Smoothies also tide you over perfectly if you had a late brunch.  Just enough to get you through without a big lunch or lots of carbs. I get it, because I’m doing that here too.

This Blueberry Coconut Almond Smoothie is light, refreshing and oh so tasty. Perfect for breakfast, the almonds, blueberries, yogurt and coconut milk make it super nutritious too! You’ll be whipping this up time and again.

The recipe makes a full 16 ounces. Drink it all, or if you’re in a generous state of mind, share it with someone lucky. Either way, this Blueberry Coconut Almond Smoothie is a tasty, healthy choice for spring and summer.

Not long ago I spied these great Easy Blueberry Rosemary Drink Garnishes on my friend Amy’s She Wears Many Hats blog. Amy’s clever, yes she is. Also kind, said I could share them with you here.

So take a jog over to her blog today and make these pretty garnishes for your Blueberry Coconut Almond Smoothie.
