There’s nothing quite as delicious and satisfying as a cool smoothie on a hot summer’s day.  Blissful Blueberry Smoothie has the bonus of also being packed with nutritious Greek yogurt along with juicy fresh summertime blueberries! Not only is it a great way to jump-start your day but, if you dare, you can get a bit indulgent and replace the Greek yogurt with vanilla bean ice cream and it becomes the perfect dessert on a hot summer’s evening! With just a hint of orange and a punch of blueberry flavor this smoothie is sure to please! Happy National Blueberry Month!
