Triple Berry & Oat Smoothie
Prep time:Â 5 minutes |Â Servings:Â 1 large smoothie
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup Rolled oats (provides that thick, creamy texture)
-
1Â Ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
-
1/2 cup Fresh or frozen strawberries
-
1/2 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
-
1 cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein)
-
1 tsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)
Instructions

Pulse the Oats:Â For the smoothest texture, place the dry oats in the blender first and pulse until they become a fine flour.
-
Add the Fruit:Â Add the banana, strawberries, and blueberries.
-
Pour in Liquids:Â Add your milk and yogurt. If you like a very cold smoothie and arenât using frozen fruit, add 3â4 ice cubes.
-
Blend:Â Secure the lid and blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
-
Serve:Â Pour into a tall glass. You can garnish it with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of oats on top, just like in your photo.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Blend
-
Frozen is Best:Â Using frozen berries or a frozen banana gives the smoothie a âmilkshakeâ consistency without needing extra ice.
-
Adjust Thickness:Â If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If itâs too thin, add another tablespoon of oats or a few more berries.
-
Boost It:Â Feel free to toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for an extra nutritional kick.
