Blueberry Banana Oat Smoothie
This recipe yields a creamy, filling smoothie that balances the natural sweetness of the banana with the tartness of the blueberries and the heartiness of the oats.
Ingredients
-
1 medium banana (frozen is best for a thicker texture)
-
1/2 cup rolled oats (as seen in the glass bowl)
-
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
-
1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (this gives it that soft pink color and creamy base)
-
Optional: A drizzle of honey or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
Instructions
-
Prep the Oats: If you prefer a very smooth texture, pulse the dry oats in the blender first until they reach a flour-like consistency.
-
Combine: Add the banana, blueberries, yogurt, and milk into the blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
-
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder or thicker, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
-
Garnish: Pour into a glass or jar (like the one in your photo) and top with a few extra oats and blueberries for the perfect look.
Pro-Tip: Make it “Overnight”
If you want to save time in the morning, you can mix all these ingredients (except the ice) in the jar shown in the photo and leave it in the fridge overnight. The oats will soften, and you’ll have a thick, spoonable breakfast ready to go!
