Blueberry & Oat Energy Smoothie
Ingredients
1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 Ripe Banana (frozen makes it creamier)
1 handful Fresh Spinach Leaves
1 tablespoon Almond Butter
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (add more for a thinner consistency)
Instructions
Prep the Base: Add the almond milk and spinach to the blender first. Blend these together for a few seconds to ensure the spinach is completely liquefied—this prevents leafy chunks!
Add Solids: Add the rolled oats, banana, and blueberries.
Add Healthy Fats: Drop in the almond butter.
Blend: Pulse until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more almond milk.
Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture.
Why These Ingredients Work Together
Fiber (Oats & Berries): Helps you feel full longer, which can prevent overeating later in the day.
Antioxidants (Blueberries): Great for overall cellular health.
Healthy Fats (Almond Butter): Provides sustained energy and helps your body absorb the vitamins from the spinach.
Low Glycemic Index: Using unsweetened almond milk and oats helps keep your energy levels steady rather than causing a quick sugar spike.
