If you’re looking for a simple way to feel refreshed, energized, and nourished, this Blueberry Chia Detox Smoothie is the answer. Packed with superfoods and naturally sweet flavors, it’s the perfect morning jumpstart or afternoon pick-me-up.
Blueberries are the star here, loaded with antioxidants, they help fight inflammation and support your immune system. Their sweet-tart flavor pairs beautifully with banana for natural creaminess and just the right amount of sweetness. The addition of chia seeds gives this smoothie a boost of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, helping you feel full and satisfied longer.
But it’s not just about the taste. This smoothie is designed to support your body’s natural detox process. Spinach or kale adds a dose of greens, while lemon juice brings brightness and helps cleanse the digestive system. A touch of fresh ginger or turmeric can take it to the next level with added anti-inflammatory benefits.
What makes this smoothie even better is how easy it is to prepare. Just toss everything into a blender, frozen blueberries, banana, plant-based milk or coconut water, a handful of greens, a spoonful of chia seeds, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Blend until smooth, pour into a glass, and enjoy immediately.
The texture is silky with a slight crunch from the chia seeds, which also expand slightly if left to sit, creating a pudding-like consistency that some people love. If you’re prepping ahead, let it sit in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes so the chia seeds can thicken it naturally.
This smoothie is great after a workout, first thing in the morning, or whenever your body needs a gentle reset. It’s also kid-friendly and easy to customize. Add a scoop of protein powder for post-gym fuel or blend in some frozen mango for a tropical twist.
Nutritious, hydrating, and totally delicious, this Blueberry Chia Detox Smoothie is a great way to give your body a clean, tasty refresh, no complicated cleanses required.

Yum!! My kids loved it! I might add spinach next time for some greens. 🥬
Glad to hear your kids loved it! Spinach sounds like a great addition. It’s super healthy! 🌟
Great recipe! I didn’t use honey because I think its not needed.
This smoothie is a game changer! I’m on a detox and it’s super refreshing.
I tried this and it turned out too thick. Maybe add more almond milk?
Tried this and it was too thick for my liking. I added more almond milk.
I put strawberries in instead of bluebs, didn’t turn out good. 0/10.
This smoothie is a game changer! I added some spinach for an extra boost.
Good stuff!!
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. But this is DELICIOUS and so refreshing!
Easy to make and with ingredients I always have! Woohoo!
It was okay but too sweet for my taste. I think I’ll skip the honey next time.
Too much sugar for me. I don’t need honey. But the blueberries are nice!
But honey adds flavor! You can’t just take it out completely… that’s like making a cake without flour! 🤷♂️
I understand! You can always skip the honey. The blueberries are the star anyway! 🍇
Absolutely delicious! I’ve made it three times this week. Perfect breakfast!
This smoothie is so refreshing! I love the combination of blueberries and banana. 🌟
Totally agree! Blueberries and bananas are the best combo! 🍌💙
Yummy! I love blueberries but my kids said it tastes like grass.
Maybe your kids just don’t like the taste of chia seeds! Have you tried adding more honey? That might help!
Just a smoothie with berries, not a miracle drink. Just saying. 🤷♂️
1 tbsp of chia seeds? Seems like too much. I prefer just a pinch.
Chia seeds? What even are those? I just used flax seeds instead. It was okay but idk about detoxing.
Yum! I love blueberries! Wouldn’t mind some yogurt in it too!
Not sure why people are raving about this… it was just ok. Tasted really bland.
I thought it was great! Maybe try adding more honey or some spinach next time for flavor. Everyone’s taste is different, I guess!
Simple and easy to make, but I don’t think chia seeds do anything…just saying.
I get what you’re saying about chia seeds, but they have some good fiber and omega-3s! Give it a try, you might be surprised! 😊
This is all too healthy, I miss my chocolate shakes. 🥺
I tried it and was a bit disappointed…it tasted like just blended fruit.
Mmm, this sounds delish! Can’t wait to try it out tomorrow!
You’ll love it! The blueberries really give it a nice sweetness. Enjoy!
