Greek Yogurt Blueberry & Oat Smoothie
Ingredients
-
1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
-
1 cup Frozen blueberries (provides that vibrant purple color)
-
1/2 cup Rolled oats (adds fiber and thickness)
-
1 cup Milk of choice (almond, soy, or dairy)
-
1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
-
Topping: A sprinkle of dry oats and fresh blueberries
Instructions
-
Prep the Oats: For a smoother texture, you can pulse the dry rolled oats in the blender for a few seconds first until they turn into a coarse flour. This ensures no “chewy” surprises in your drink.
-
Combine: Add the Greek yogurt, frozen blueberries, milk, and vanilla extract into the blender. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add your honey or maple syrup now.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed to break up the frozen berries, then increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely silky and the oats are fully integrated.
-
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more milk. If you want it frostier, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
-
Serve: Pour into two chilled glasses. Top with a pinch of dry oats and serve with a reusable straw.
Quick Tips
-
Pro-Tip: If you have time, soak the oats in the milk for 10 minutes before blending for an even creamier result.
-
Boost It: Feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra Omega-3s without changing the flavor.
