As a kid, my brother and I would stay with my grandparents over the summer so we could spend time with them and my cousins. My grandmother was a talented baker and I used to love her scratch-made pie recipes. If I could go back in time, I would have asked her to share some of her pie crust secrets with me! Instead of trying (and failing) to whip up a pie as good as my grandmother’s for this month’s recipe redux theme, I decided to go with something super simple – a blueberry pie smoothie.
Now that blueberries are in season, they are a great addition to breakfast. I like to add them to my yogurt and oatmeal or whip them into a smoothie like this one. Blueberries are a great source of vitamin C which is essential for the health of your skin and gums. They are also low calorie and high in fiber. To make this smoothie even more filling, I added some rolled oats and chia seeds, both of which are good sources of fiber. The almond butter and yogurt add some satisfying protein.
Blueberry Pie Smoothie
oz. (2 Servings)
This smoothie tastes like blueberry pie in a glass - a tasty way to start your morning if you ask me!
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness if needed
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
Notes
Note: this smoothie will thicken as it sits so you may have to add more milk if you save the second serving for the next day.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to add some honey or a couple of dates.

Looks so yum!Is there anything I can use to replace the yogurt? I cannot eat yogurt.Thanks,Debbie.
Hey Maritza,
If you can’t tolerate dairy-based yogurt, there are a few great non-dairy based ones that you could in it’s place. Personally, I like the almond yogurt from Kite Hill! Otherwise, you can replace it with more non-dairy milk and add some ice if needed to help thicken the smoothie a bit. Hope that helps!
Blueberry pie smoothie? Yes please! I’ve heard of blueberry pie milkshakes where they just put the entire slice of pie in- this recipe reminds me of that, except healthier. Pinned and can’t wait to try!
I will need to try this. Grandma pie crust:
No-Goof Pie Crust:
4 cups Flour
1 3/4 cup Crisco (butter)
1 Tbls sugar
2 tsp salt
Mix with fork
Beat one egg with 1/2 cup COLD water and 1 Tbls. Vinegar
Combine both mixtures with fork. Mold dough in ball. Chill at least 15 minutes before rolling . Dough can be kept 3 days in the refrigerator or frozen.
Of course your above is much more healthy.
I too miss her and her cooking.

Thank you soooo much for sharing the recipe, Aunt Kim!
Blueberry smoothies will always be my favorite! Yum!
Pie in a glass… love it! Will whip this up tomorrow AM with my freshly picked blueberries!
I’m so glad that blueberries are in season now. I’ve never added oats to my smoothie before, though I just throw it in yogurt sometimes. Definitely need to give this a try!
I just recently started adding oats to my smoothies – they seem to make them more filling from the extra fiber! 🙂
This smoothie looks delicious! I’ve been adding blueberries to everything lately and I can’t get enough. I could easily drink this all day long with any meal 🙂
Glad I’m not the only one that can’t get enough blueberries right now!
mmmm such a great idea! I would never think to make a smoothie that tastes like pie! Yum 🙂
