Blueberry Almond & Oat Smoothie
Yields: 1 serving
Ingredients
-
1 cup frozen blueberries: Using frozen fruit ensures a thick, frosty texture without needing extra ice.
-
1 ripe banana: Frozen works best for creaminess, but fresh is fine too.
-
1/2 cup rolled oats: These provide a lovely, hearty texture and fiber.
-
1 cup almond milk: Adjust the amount depending on how thick you prefer your smoothie.
-
Optional additions: A dash of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of chia seeds, or a scoop of your favorite protein powder can be added for extra flavor or nutrition.
Instructions
-
Prep the Oats: If you prefer an extra smooth consistency, place the oats in the blender first and pulse them until they form a fine powder before adding the other ingredients.
-
Combine: Add the blueberries, banana, and almond milk to the blender.
-
Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no large fruit or oat pieces remain.
-
Adjust: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Pro Tip: To get the look from your photo, reserve a few slices of banana and a sprinkle of raw oats to place on top as a garnish right before serving.
