This post was created in partnership with Stonyfield and Hamilton Beach. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.

As soon as the weather starts to warm up, I love breaking out my blender to make smoothies for breakfast or pre- or post-workout snacks. They’re a great treat for my toddler, too, who loves anything and everything in smoothie form!

But I don’t always feel like digging out the big blender, cups, straws, etc. That’s where this Single-Serve Blender from Hamilton Beach comes to the rescue!

This blender is perfect for when you’re on the go but want a smoothie fix. The blender cup and lid are dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus for me. I tend to make my smoothies on the thick side, and this blender definitely needs a little more liquid than my other one to get the smoothies going.

For this particular smoothie, I wanted to get an antioxidant boost from Japanese Matcha and blueberries. I had a really ripe banana on hand, so I used that along with some ice cubes, although I’d normally add a frozen banana and omit the ice.

For sweetness, I used just a tablespoon of honey and added a silky smooth cup of plain Petite Crème. You could use a flavored variety if you prefer, but I was trying to keep the sugar to a minimum here.

I was hoping this would be a green smoothie, but the blueberries made it look… well… less than photogenic. But it was totally delicious! I love the earthiness that Matcha adds to this smoothie, but definitely feel free to add more honey if you’d like it to be a little sweeter. And if you happen to have frozen blueberries on hand, definitely substitute those here for the fresh to add a little extra iciness.

I already have plans to make another green smoothie with this blender, and that one is going to get a major dose of kale along with the Matcha!
