Last time I posted a smoothie recipe, it was when my youngest daughter got braces.
Apparently dental issues are a harbinger of smoothie recipes on this blog, because the same girl had a wisdom tooth out on Friday. Since then I haven’t made anything that didn’t go through a blender, including this smoothie that’s bursting with the taste of blueberries. I made a noticeable dent in the number of blueberries in my freezer, since this was one of the few things she wanted to eat after her surgery.
For the record, the surgery went well, and she’s already back at school to write her final three exams. It’s hard to know which she thought was the worst thing about the last few days: the removal of the wisdom tooth, the fact that it was bookended by exams, or the two losses by her beloved Blue Jays to the Red Sox. Fortunately, the mouth is healing, the schoolwork is coming along nicely, and the Jays won this afternoon.
Three great reasons to celebrate with another smoothie!
Blueberry banana smoothies
(from Food.com)
1/2 cup vanilla or plain yogurt
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
3/4 cup milk
1/2 ripe banana, sliced thinly
2 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Makes 2 medium-sized smoothies.
Yay for smoothie season!!!
I love the banana/blueberry combination! 🙂
All those green smoothies out there don't appeal to me—-BUT your blueberry version looks fabulous! Glad your daughter is on the mend 🙂
Wow! Blueberry! It is good for health. This drink is nice and nutritious. Thanks! Seo Blogger
oh… i totally love your smoothie!
I love blueberry smoothies! I have them every week! 1
My daughter needs to get her wisdom teeth out too. I'll have to remember this recipe.
A really tasty and healthy smoothie, Beth.
I hope your daughter is feeling all better soon! I love a good smoothie, but I never make them with blueberries anymore because I have had a few seize up on me due to the pectin.
Glad she is recovering nicely. This smoothie is a great way to cheer someone up!
Hi Beth, glad your daughter is doing better. I bet this smoothie had a lot to do with it, looks delicious!
I love blueberries and smoothies! This looks healthy, delicious and so pretty 🙂
Oh I totally sympathize! I had my wisdom tooth removed many, many years ago because it was coming up horizontically instead of vertically! Five stitches and five days with soups and milk! I wish I had this smoothie back then!
Happy your daughter is feeling better now–can't imagine doing this during the semester. It can be a lot of work for Mom too blending all that food ;-). Glad we wrapped that up in our house over winter break!
I love smoothies and this look delicious Beth!!
Hard to get too excited by wins or loses this early in the baseball season. Or so I always tell myself. 🙂 Anyway, super looking smoothie! Getting wisdom teeth out is o fun. And during exams? Injustice!
I love banana and blueberry smoothies and yours look divine, Beth. AWESOME share!

Glad to hear having the tooth out went well. Never fun! Smoothie looks sooo good.
HI Beth,
Wow that daughter of yours had a lot on her plate. Good thing she has a quick thinking Mom who whipped up a delicious and healing smoothie!
Thanks so much for sharing, Beth…
A perfect way to recover from dental surgery! Blueberries are the best in smoothies.
I love smoothies but often forget about them! Boo – this one looks great. I usually freeze bananas too and skip the ice cubes – love the blue blueberries!
Beth, hope you daughter has completely recovered by now – your blueberry smoothie recipe looks wonderful and refreshing! What a lovely way to nuture the body, heart and soul!
Mmmmm, Beth! I'm looking for another great smoothie recipe and I have just found it now!
Thanks!
Ciao,
