Since this is an older post, I don’t know if you’ll even see this, but I wanted to let you know I was skeptical about this recipe. I made it, took a sip, thought ‘hmm not bad’ then next thing I knew was running my fingers around the empty glass and licking them off! LOL Oink! Oink!
LOL! Christine, I laughed so hard when I read your comment. Yes, this smoothie creeps up on you! I see all comments no matter how old the post is, and respond to all of them, so please feel free to leave your feedback on any of them and I will get back to you. Oink 🙂
Not sure how this could possibly make a 16 ounce glass, when the liquids alone add up to 24 ounces…
The liquids thicken and when blended this makes just over one 16 ounce glass.
I got a 32 oz smoothie out this recipe..but I’m not complaining!! Another round and I had four child size smoothies for a quick afternoon snack for my crew…2, 5, 7, and 8. They loved it. I just found your site today while trying to figure out something different to do with blueberries. Thank you. I’ll be back!
I think I may need to measure this smoothie again. Thanks for letting me know. I am glad it was a hit.
Wondering if there is an estimation on the calorie content of this smoothie?
Sorry Rachel, I don’t do nutritional profiles for the recipes on the site. You can plug this recipe into third-party software programs like cronometer, nutrition data, or edamam.
