Tips and Variations
To make this recipe low-sugar, use coconut sugar, stevia, or another low-calorie sweetener.
If you’re allergic to nuts, swap almond milk for oat milk or soy milk.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the blueberry mixture while it’s cooking for a warm, cozy twist.
Want to make it extra indulgent? Sprinkle on a dash of cocoa powder to the finished drink.
For an even creamier drink, use coconut cream instead of almond milk, or add a splash of cashew cream.
Use a milk frother to create a light foam on top if you like your milk with some froth.
Sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes or crushed almonds on top if you want a bit of crunch.
