Making a smoothie is one of the easiest ways to prepare a meal that's tasty and packed with nutrients.

The ingredients can be prepared beforehand, so all you have to do is blend and go!
This Blueberry Bliss Smoothie Recipe is Kroma Reset-approved!
WHERE DID GREEN PROTEIN SMOOTHIES COME FROM?
Blending leafy greens into fruit smoothies grew out of the clean-eating movement, where "sneaking" nutrient-dense vegetables like spinach into a naturally sweet, fruit-forward drink became an easy way to boost nutrition without sacrificing flavor. Pairing that green smoothie base with a scoop of protein powder is a more recent evolution, turning a simple fruit-and-greens blend into a genuinely filling meal replacement or post-workout refuel.
WHY HIGH PROTEIN BLUEBERRY BLISS SMOOTHIE?
This recipe builds a full, balanced meal around Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein, which supports muscle repair and growth while bringing a warm, comforting vanilla-cinnamon flavor to every sip. Fresh spinach adds iron and vitamin C, frozen blueberries bring natural sweetness along with antioxidants, and a sprinkle of hemp seeds finishes things off with omega-3 fatty acids and essential minerals. Best of all, the ingredients can be prepped ahead of time, so all you have to do each morning is blend and go.
It's dairy-free, nutrient-dense, and ready in about 3 minutes.

Nut Milk or Coconut Water: Whether you opt for creamy nut milk or hydrating coconut water, you're infusing your smoothie with essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. These liquids not only enhance the texture of your smoothie but also contribute to optimal hydration and overall wellness.
-
Fresh Spinach: Popeye's favorite superfood isn't just for cartoon characters; it's a nutritional powerhouse for everyone! Spinach is loaded with iron, vitamin C, and antioxidants, promoting healthy blood circulation, immune function, and glowing skin. Incorporating spinach into your daily smoothie is an effortless way to boost your nutrient intake and support your body's natural detoxification processes.
-
Frozen Blueberries: Bursting with flavor and antioxidants, frozen blueberries are nature's candy with a health-conscious twist. These little blue gems are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and phytonutrients, offering anti-inflammatory and cognitive benefits. Adding blueberries to your smoothie not only enhances its taste but also contributes to improved heart health, brain function, and overall vitality.
-
Hemp Seeds: Don't underestimate the power of these tiny seeds! Hemp seeds are a complete source of plant-based protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc. Incorporating hemp seeds into your smoothie provides sustained energy, supports muscle recovery, and promotes healthy skin and hair.
TIPS FOR THE BEST BLUEBERRY BLISS SMOOTHIE
-
Prep Ahead: Portion the spinach, blueberries, and Kroma Vanilla Cinnamon Plant-Based Protein into a freezer bag the night before so all you have to do is add liquid and blend in the morning.
-
Blend the Greens First: Blending the spinach with the liquid before adding the frozen blueberries and ice helps break down the leaves more thoroughly for a smoother texture.
-
Adjust the Liquid: Start with 12 oz of nut milk or coconut water and add up to 16 oz depending on how thick or thin you prefer your smoothie.
-
Add Hemp Seeds Last: Sprinkle the hemp seeds on top after blending rather than blending them in, so you get their texture in every sip.
-
Choose Your Liquid Base: Nut milk adds extra creaminess, while coconut water keeps things lighter and more hydrating — choose based on your preference.
