Blueberry Milk for your Inner Kid

By: Kita · Published Aug 2, 2011 · Updated: Jan 9, 2023 · This post may contain affiliate links

Blueberry milk is a delicious and fun treat for kids, regardless of their age! Fresh blueberries, milk, and as much sweetness as you desire, blended together for a tasty, cold, anytime snack!

Here's a post to send you right back to your glory days as a small child when nothing was better then the large glass of milk in front of you and the awesome straw you may have been lucky enough to score to sip it all up with.

The moment I saw this on Vittles and Bits I got so excited, knowing I had to try it. As a kid ( and rather shamelessly still as an adult) nothing is more awesome than an ice cold glass of chocolate milk. Whenever we go out for breakfast, we are always given raised eyebrows when we order milk instead of the usual coffee. I love milk with spaghetti, tacos, and pizza and will have a glass at least once a day. I guess it's just something I never grew out of.

The icing on the cake for this blueberry milk is that I've been on a huge blueberry kick this year. We know I'm trying to get more fruit into our diets this year, as it seems to be so alien in our house, but we work in baby steps here!

 I'm not going to complain, especially not when blueberry milk is this tasty!

    Doesn't that look delicious! I honestly never had blueberry milk, but for me as a kid, the special treat was strawberry milk.

    Speaking of strawberry milk, does the recipe work if we use the same quantity of strawberries (with the same amount of other ingredients)? I might as well try blueberry, it's not very common where I live. Thanks a lot for sharing!

      It should, though I didn't test it. The original post says that strawberries can be used.

    Yum... I love strawberry milk, and that's even the Nestle kind. So I bet this fresh real fruit one is amazing. Great photos too.

    That looks delicious - I will have to try it soon!

    Also, I haven't ever met anyone else that says they like to drink milk with pizza. It's the best (in my opinion)! I get a lot of strange looks when I tell people that though...

    You said it best here "violet deliciousness"! This is a great way to get more calcium in your diet and fresh blueberries also pack a bunch of nutrition. I will be trying this out-yum!

    I am not a fan of milk 🙁 Never was a kid - was basically forced to drink it. I can do chocolate milk now, but that is it. This looks so pretty though! Do you want to come take pictures of my food!
