Blueberry Coffee Breakfast Smoothie
This is the ultimate breakfast for people on the go! Naturally sweet blueberry coffee breakfast smoothie is a quick and tasty way to start your day!
Now this is also a gluten free smoothie, dairy free, free from refined sugar and vegan! However, if you love quick breakfast and love cow’s milk, then go ahead and use that one!
Coffee breakfast smoothie has been our breakfast food for the past 2 months. Every single day we start with a cup of this deliciousness. Ok, maybe 6 out of 7 days.
We love the flavor combo, the quick preparation and the instant energy boost it gives us. Coffee breakfast smoothie is exactly what we need in the morning.
Now depending on what we have in the pantry and how active our morning is we change the quantities and add more nutrient rich and energy boosting ingredients. Sometimes we add bananas in, sometimes blueberries.
Blueberries are one of the superfoods and no wonder! The health benefits of blueberries are amazing! Not only are they one of the most nutrient-dense fruits out there but they help our brain function better, support digestion, help maintain healthy skin, ….
Plus they go so well with coffee!
However, if you feel like blueberry coffee breakfast smoothie does not excite you much, try making another easy-peasy blender smoothie such as Raspberry Smoothie, Banana Breakfast Smoothie, Energy Boosting Smoothie with Papaya or this Blueberry Smoothie.
What I love about blueberry coffee breakfast smoothie:
- Healthy coffee smoothie recipe – this smoothie contains only the good stuff, no refined sugar, no sweeteners.
- Quick preparation – ready in 5 minutes makes it the ideal breakfast meal/drink.
- 2 in 1 – adding coffee to your breakfast saves you time.
- This is a dairy free smoothie but can be made with cow’s milk as well.
- It’s the perfect breakfast-on-the go.
- Free from refined sugar – dates are used instead of sugar.
- Gluten free smoothie – this quick breakfast is also suitable for those who can’t eat products containing gluten.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Almond Milk – coconut milk as well as cow’s milk can be used.
- Dates – you can use honey or maple syrup instead.
- Blueberries – if you don’t have them or don’t eat them use bananas. Frozen ones can be used as well.
Guys, this is a very easy coffee smoothie recipe so if you are looking for breakfast-on-the-go recipes, this one is it! Yes! It saves your time in the morning because there is no need to make breakfast plus a cup of coffee. This quick breakfast has the caffeine intake in it!

:) Thank you, Brandi!
hmm… fruit and coffee. I’m going to have to trust you and try this, because you make it sound really delicious! I love the photo with the single blueberry in front, really pretty. Let me go get some caffeine in my healthy breakfast now!
You won’t regret it! Trust me, Jenn! :)
Sounds really lovely, I’d never have thought of adding coffee
Thank you, Amy!
I love coffee smoothies but haven’t tried them with blueberries. That sounds delicious!
What do you put in your coffee smoothie?
I want this right now so much. Love that there’s coffee in there too. The flavor combination sounds delicious!
You gotta try it! I think we have become coffee smoothie addicts already!
I love the idea of combining breakfast oats with morning coffee and berries! Delicious way, especially for those, who’s in rush :)
Thanks, Alina!
This smoothie is the perfect morning pick-me-up. I loved the instant coffee, and it really adds to the flavor too! Thank you so much for this recipe.
You are welcome! :)
i’m looking for ideas on a coffee blueberry (drink) and am wondering how this recipe will turn out… looks like it will be hard to drink without a spoon… wutdya’ think?
Hi Jerry. All our smoothies are designed for drinking, not eating with a spoon. That being said, if you let them sit in the fridge, they will thicken up. Also, if you like a thinner texture, you can add more almond milk (or normal milk). Hope this helps.
I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, especially for someone who doesn’t drink coffee but I made it and love it!
I used what I had on hand: cows milk instead of almond milk and 1 small banana instead of blueberries and didn’t use any dates.
Thanks for the recipe it’s going to be my go-to smoothie now.
That’s so good to hear, Rachel! Thanks so much for finding time to leave the feedback and rating!
I’m always trying new smoothies but was hesitant about blueberries and coffee. Since I had all the ingredients on hand, I tried it. Delicious! This is not a combo I would have thought of so thank you for the recipe.
You are welcome, Ann Marie! I am happy to hear you enjoyed this smoothie and hope you try some other ones from our blog as well! :)
Have been doing this recipe a few times since 2021! Thank you so much for sharing this delicious healthy recipe! Have also shared with friends and relatives and loving it!
Thank you so much for finding time to write the feedback, Liz!
We have a few questions regarding substitue ingredients:
If we substitute honey for the dates, how much honey should be used?
Can yogurt be used instead of milk?
Could fresh Bing Cherries be used in this smoothie as a substitute for the Blueberries?
I’ve tried the Mango Kale and Mango Apricot smoothie. When I made the Mango Apricot smoothie I also put in a small amount of Kale and it was delightful.
Thank you.
Hi Lori. The quantity of honey will depend on your taste. I would maybe start with two teaspoons of honey and taste it. If not sweet enough for you, add more. You can try using natural yogurt (or Greek yogurt) just note it will turn out thicker. If you prefer using cherries, then I suggest you try it! Like I have said, it will all depend on your taste whether you like it or not but it is worth giving a go! Hope you enjoy it. :)
