Creamy Zucchini Blueberry Smoothie

I have to admit I was a little skeptical of this recipe, but it was delicious! I was most worried about the celery, but it gave the smoothie a pleasantly fresh flavor. I don’t think I would have even noticed it had I not not known it was there. Going to try this on my 11-year-old tomorrow!

A great combination of veggies and fruit for a nutritious smoothie! I was searching for smoothies and was pleased to see the amount of veggies in here. I used almond milk with a TBL of plain hemp protein powder to amp up the creaminess almond milk lacks. I read the zucchini as 2/3 of a zucchini instead of cups. The extra veg wasn’t bad, I just added an extra date to balance. Thanks, Minimalist baker! :)

I never would have thought to put celery in a smoothie and was so skeptical but omg it added just an incredible taste. This is probably the best smoothie recipe I’ve tried.

Yummyness!!! 😋 I used kale instead of spinach.
Thank you for this glorious smoothie recipe again. 🙏

YUM! Followed all directions as written. YUM!

So delicious and refreshing! I thought I had a zucchini in my refrigerator, but I actually had yellow squash and that’s what I used. It was a fantastic smoothie and really hit the spot after my gym workout this AM! I will definitely make this again this summer. Thank u! I appreciate u and all u continue to offer us!

Made this smoothie today. Loved It!! Followed recipe exactly for first time but had to add quite a bit more soya milk to get it blending. Recipe definitely makes rotation. Going to add more hemp seeds for extra protein. Thank you so much!

I had the same issue others mentioned about color (and I had to use fresh blueberries). But it still turned out absolutely delicious. I never would have thought so much green would be so delicately balanced by the sweet banana, and then complimented by the blueberries. Delicious!!!!!

I’ve been making a similar recipe for years and it’s good to see others agree it’s a healthy option for breakfast. I am currently also adding powdered peanut butter and use kombucha and oat milk to get best consistency when using more frozen items. I also freeze whole bags of spinach for the smoothies and just take out handfuls from the freezer as needed plus I add frozen apple slices and avocado chunks, which are very affordable and available at local grocery.

I just made this today for my 2 year old son and myself. We didn’t have celery on hand and didn’t include the maca powder, but Iit was still delicious. We both loved it! I especially love that it had some veggies hidden in there with the fruit. It was thick, creamy, and cool! I will definitely be making it again. I can’t wait to include celery.

I needed a recipe to use up some zucchini I have and this one is perfect! I love the added cinnamon, it gives this smoothie a nice after flavor. Perfect for breakfast along with a piece of banana bread :)

Hallelujah! A delicious use for my over supply of garden zucchini. I love this smoothie. I use water instead of the coconut milk, and it is still creamy, flavorful and oh so delicious. I added a squeeze of lemon to add a note of sparkle to it. Im so excited to have a use especially for the squash that get too big. I cut them up, freeze them on a cookie sheet, bag them up, and I’ll be making this smoothie all year long. Thanks Dana!

This smoothie was fantastic, never knew celery and zucchini would work so well!

Woah this is amazing. My new favorite smoothie from the blog! I used plain oat milk instead of light coconut and left out maca as I don’t have any. So yummy.

This smoothie tastes amazing! I added in spirulina, some cacao powder with maca, matcha for energy and flax seeds. I was so surprised how good it was with the zucchini and the celery! Will definitely be using this recipe to use up my garden zucchinis :)

I love this combination. I thought it would not ne sweet enough. I was. Just enough.

Finally a use for zucchini. The cinnamon makes this. Appearently my blueberries were a different variety because mine looked more like a gray “troll bogger” than a beautiful blue. But still tasted great!

I made your delicious Creamy Zucchini Blueberry Smoothie for two. The only change I needed to make was the Maca powder, as I didn’t have any on hand, so I substituted a 1/2 scoop of fermented vegan protein powder. This smoothie was really creamy and fresh tasting. Thank you for your recipe Dana.

It sounds like an odd combination BUT it is such a delicious smoothie!! I used half blueberries, half strawberries and subbed oat milk for almond milk. It didn’t even need any type of sweetener! My new go to smoothie recipe for getting some extra veggies in, thank you!

I have been making this all week with almond milk instead of coconut (because that’s what I have) and it is SO GOOD. I normally don’t like celery but you can barely taste it in this and I feel good having 3 veggies for breakfast. I’m going to be making this for a long time to come!

Love this smoothie! Up until last week I had never tried putting zucchini in my smoothies- now I’m OBSESSED. You literally can’t taste it at all.

The one thing I will say is that I can still taste the celery. It doesn’t make the smoothie off-putting, however, and I love that I’m getting so many veggies first thing in the morning.

Thank you for my new go-to!

Delicious!! I made this today using cashew milk and ground flaxseed and it was so good! Very forgiving recipie, thank you so much :)

Really good! I have a bunch of frozen zucchini that I never find an excuse to use it, so that worked great!
I only had full fat coconut milk so I put a bit more water, and added too chia seeds and flax seeds too.

Fabulous smoothie! We’ve had an abundance of zucchini this summer and I’m so glad I found this recipe. The hint of cinnamon is LOVELY!

This is my new favorite smoothie! Delicious and creamy and so good for me. Thank you !

This is my new favorite smoothie. I have it almost every day now. Thank you so much!

Wow, never thought of zucchini in my smoothies! Being plant based for just over 2 years, they have a good amount of protein so Eating them in a smoothie will be a welcomed alternative. I’ll alternate with broccoli to change the greens up :-). Thank you

Made it this morning and it was delicious and so so creamy (and I couldn’t even taste the zuchini) ! I also added peanut butter and fresh ginger as I’m addicted, but yes definitely one I will be doing regularly, thank you :D

I made this using protein powder in place of hemp seeds, amazing grass in place of the greens and homemade cashew milk in place of the coconut milk. Only my blueberries were frozen so I added a few ice cubes. It was SO GOOD. I can’t believe how many veggies are in there!

I’ve made this a couple times now. So good!

Just made this smoothie and it is terrific. I do a healthy smoothie every day, and this is going into the rotation. Well done, and worth the 8 ingredients recipe (unlike many whose taste decreases with the number of ingredients.) thank you.

This was surprisingly so good!! I had some zucchini I needed to use up and saw you post this in your insta story. Thought I’d give it a shot!!
I made a few substitutions: didn’t have any celery so I added extra zucchini, used Ripple pea beverage instead of coconut milk (extra protein) and used Canadian protein vegan vanilla protein powder, skipped the maca
So good!! Not overly sweet which I really liked, if you want it sweeter maybe add a little maple syrup! The cinnamon was the perfect touch.

I made this for me and my housemate this morning, as a smoothie bowl. It was absolutely delicious and a gorgeous colour! Your recipes are great every single time.

I…. am… astounded…
I first saw this recipe in early March and made a note of it because it sounded rather interesting… Flash forward several months and I’m dealing with overgrown zucchini from my garden and the only frozen fruit I have is blueberries (usually I do mostly strawberries and blackberries)…. I happened to remember this recipe, googled it… and the rest is history… I had most of the ingredients, zucchini (clearly), frozen blueberries, frozen banana, celery, hemp, I subbed 30g of lacinato kale for the spinach, subbed coconut shreds and more zucchini for the coconut milk, subbed coriander, cardamom, and ginger for the cinnamon, and just left off the maca for this go around.
Truly… I am astounded…
I normally like really sweet, banana heavy smoothie bowls… But this was lightly sweet, refreshing, and even tasty… I topped it with 1 TB of ground flax for the health boost and truly enjoyed the whole thing.
I did pop the zucchini in the freezer once I knew I was going to try the recipe so my chunks were well on their way to being frozen by the time I used them… And I’m already freezing more zucchini chunks for my next smoothie…
This one is a keeper…
Thanks, so much, Dana!

Great! So Creamy! Since I made this the first time a few weeks ago I have made it multiple times for myself and my fiance. It is now our favorite smoothie. I hate celery so I love that I can’t even taste it in here. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious! Love LOVE the cinnamon and blueberries in this smoothie. My kids loved it and they don’t even know they are drinking zucchini, spinach and celery. Very kid-friendly smoothie. Just perfection! Thanks :-)

Wowza!! Great smoothie recipe! I loved it! I also added some protein powder, collagen powder, and a lil bit of moringa, and I loved it! I would never have thought to add zucchini to morning smoothies, but this was awesome!! Thank you for a slam-dunk smoothie recipe!

Tried it…loved it!!! Thank you for this option. I love your site and all that you share. Thanks so much!! Keep it coming.

Dana. Stop it. This is so good I literally can’t even handle it! I love your blog & get most of my recipes from you. I’m sorry to say that I’ve never commented, even though I’m a big time fan. However, this smoothie was so good & the idea of these ingredients together intrigued me so, I could feel the comment coming on looong before the deliciousness hit my taste buds. Wow. All thumbs up!

I made this today and WOW! It is easily my new fav smoothie. To me it tastes like a blueberry muffin. I also added more hemp seeds for extra protein (about 3 tbsp). Great recipe!

I just read your blog and this recipe and had to jump up and make it. I love smoothies! This was really good! I never would have thought to put zucchini or celery in the smoothie. I typically use one or a combination of kale/spinach/romaine lettuce with my fruit. I didn’t have wild blueberries but I used regular ones, almond milk instead of the coconut milk and added matcha powder to the recipe. This was so yummy! I can’t wait to see what my husband thinks of this smoothie. I’m not telling him the ingredients. Will be making this again. Thanks!

I have only come across your page recently and this is the first recipe I have made. It is a winner! Love it when something so healthy actually tastes delicious!

I have made this smoothie two times already, and I love it! I subsituted rapini instead of spinach, almond milk instead of coconut milk and vegan protein powder with a coconut flavour instead of hemp seeds, just because these were the ingredients I had handy, and it was delicious! My husband who usually does not care for smoothies with greens in them loved it!

I made this and it was so delicious! I subbed out coconut milk for almond milk (since I have coconut allergies) and I didn’t have hemp on hand so I did chia seeds instead and so good! My mom loves this and now I have 2 friends wanting to try it to haha. Thank you Dana! Thinking about adding zucchini now to all my veggie smoothies!

So good! I’ve been adding veggies to smoothies, but have never thought to add celery or zucchini. I had one this afternoon, and it kept me energized and full through a 2 mile run and a45 minute kickboxing class. I make smoothie packs and stash them in the freezer so when I prepped I split the ingredients into 2 bags. The cinnamon was a great addition. I also add a 1/4 tsp of turmeric and 2 T chia seeds, and did almond milk because that is what i had. Yum!

I’ve been “stuck” on your Mango Ginger Kale Green Smoothie, since I love that one SO much. However, this concoction sounded interestingly strange, so I just HAD to try it. I used my home made almond milk, a little squirt of Stevia and a little unflavored, unsweetened whey powder. Wow. I was blown away. This one will be a regular post workout snack. Thank you, Dana!

This was SO delicious! I love having extra veggies in my smoothie. Never would’ve thought to put zucchini in a smoothie, but that’s why I follow you guys! Keep these kind of recipes coming!
Thank you!

This is so so so delicious!!
I had it this morning and will make it again tomorrow!
I absolutely love ALL your recipes!!!! You are amazing.

This was amazing! I Have been searching for new smoothie recipes, especially ones with vegetables in them, and this one tasted great! My toddler and I didnt even taste the zucchini. I would highly recommend this! I did sub flax seed for the hemp hearts and almond\cashew milk for coconut simply because that’s what I had in hand

I had most of the ingredients for this in my kitchen and was the perfect tonic for a winter cold. I substituted blueberries for the frozen blackberries I had in my freezer, and it was lovely. Thanks for another great recipe.

I was very skeptical about this smoothie because of the celery and zucchini…I like them but just usually in a stir fry or soup. So happy I was wrong ! I was floored at how delicious it was. I added a bit too much spinach so the color was a bit off but otherwise I loved it. Thank you for this recipe!

So, I was a bit skeptical of this smoothie after reading the ingredients. I went grocery shopping yesterday and forgot some ingredients for my typical smoothies (frozen strawberries, frozen cherries, etc). I had a huge bag of wild blueberries that I didn’t know what to do with a few extra zucchini for a minestrone soup that I’m making today. Needless to say, I made this smoothie and cannot believe how tasty it is! And I felt great after drinking it for breakfast post-workout. This will be my go to smoothie all week! Thanks Dana! ?

Fabulous – very much worth swooning over. THANK YOU!

This was great! 4 year old approved and I usually cannot sneak hemp seeds by him. I used soy milk and water since we don’t have coconut milk. I’m also freezing some into popsicles for the teething baby.

I make smoothies almost everyday for breakfast. Spinach is a usual ingredient along with hemp seeds tossed in the blender. I like the zucchini idea. I’ve found you can add pretty much whatever veggies you have around along with the stronger tasting berries. Costcos anti oxident berry blend is a good option that includes blueberries.

I got home and didn’t know what to make for lunch. This was perfect! I love the flavor combo of blueberries, cinnamon, and coconut milk. The only change I made was using fresh blueberries since that’s what I had on hand. Thank you for another delicious recipe!
