Ingredients
-
Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup plain non-fat or low-fat (for a protein boost).
-
Blueberries: 1 cup frozen (frozen berries give it a thick, chilled texture).
-
Rolled Oats: 1/4 cup (adds fiber and a nutty heartiness).
-
Milk of Choice: 1/2 cup to 1 cup (almond, oat, or dairy milk work perfectly).
-
Natural Sweetener: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional).
-
Nut Butter: 1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter (for healthy fats).
-
Topping: A sprinkle of extra oats or hemp seeds.
Instructions
-
Prep the Base: Add the rolled oats to your blender first and pulse them a few times. This breaks them down into a finer consistency so your smoothie remains silky smooth rather than chunky.
-
Combine: Add the Greek yogurt, frozen blueberries, and your choice of milk. If you prefer a sweeter taste, drizzle in your honey or maple syrup now.
-
Boost: Add the nut butter. This helps with satiety and gives the smoothie a rich, velvety mouthfeel.
-
Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the color is a vibrant, uniform purple.
-
Adjust: If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little more milk. If you prefer it thicker, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass, top with a pinch of oats, and enjoy immediately!
