Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, 1 ripe banana, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- If using fresh blueberries, rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. If using frozen blueberries, there is no need to thaw them beforehand as they will blend well in the smoothie.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the blueberries, banana, oats, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Make sure to add the almond milk first to help the blending process.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds.
- Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey, blending again to combine.
- Once blended to your satisfaction, pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of oats on top if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious Blueberry Oat Breakfast Smoothie!
Tips
- Use frozen blueberries for an extra thick and frosty texture without adding ice.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, use ripe, spotty bananas for natural sweetness.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut milk or oat milk for varied flavor profiles.
- For a meal prep option, prepare smoothie packs in advance by portioning ingredients into freezer bags.
- Always add liquid ingredients first in the blender to help ingredients blend more smoothly.
- For a creamier texture, use a high-powered blender that can fully break down the oats.
