Notes

For added nutrition, consider blending in a handful of spinach or kale—these greens won’t alter the flavor significantly but will boost the nutrient content.
To make ahead, wash and freeze blueberries up to three months in advance; blend them with other ingredients and store in the refrigerator for up to two days.
