Now that we have all our ingredients, let's move on to the preparation process. This recipe is quick and straightforward, so you'll be sipping on your smoothie in no time!

Step 1: Wash the Blueberries

First things first, wash your fresh blueberries under cold water. If you're using frozen blueberries, you can skip this step.

Step 2: Squeeze the Lemon

Next, cut your lemon in half and squeeze it to get the juice. Be sure to remove any seeds. Tip: Rolling the lemon on your counter before cutting and squeezing it can help you get more juice out of it.

Step 3: Blend it All Together

Now, add your blueberries, lemon juice, yogurt, sweetener, and ice into your blender. Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little water or juice and blend again.

Once your smoothie has reached your desired consistency, pour it into two glasses. You can garnish with a few extra blueberries or a slice of lemon if you like. Now, all that's left to do is enjoy your homemade blueberry lemonade smoothie!
