Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing and dicing your rhubarb into 1-inch pieces, ensuring there are no leaves, as they are toxic. If you're using frozen rhubarb, allow it to thaw slightly for easier blending. Measure out 1 cup of frozen blueberries, as their chilly sweetness will perfectly complement the tartness of the rhubarb, setting the stage for your Rhubarb Blueberry Smoothie.
- In a high-powered blender, add the diced rhubarb, frozen blueberries, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Pour in 1 cup of your choice of plant milk; almond or oat milk works beautifully here. Secure the lid tightly and prepare to blend until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, aiming for a smooth, creamy consistency that resembles a vibrant, pink sorbet.
- After blending for about 30-45 seconds, pause to check the texture of your smoothie. If it appears too thick, slowly pour in an additional splash of plant milk or a handful of ice cubes to achieve your desired consistency. Blend again for another 15 seconds until the mixture is silky smooth.
- Once you reach that perfect texture, taste your smoothie and decide if it needs a touch more sweetness. If desired, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup to enhance the flavor. Blend for a few more seconds to fully incorporate the syrup.
- Pour the smoothie into tall glasses, watching it swirl delightfully as you fill them. For a beautiful presentation, garnish each serving with fresh blueberries or a sprig of mint. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes
For the best flavor and texture, serve this smoothie immediately. It tends to thicken over time.
