Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium frozen banana
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (be sure to use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version)
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. It’s always helpful to have everything ready to go so that blending is efficient. You’ll need your frozen banana, blueberries, rolled oats, vanilla yogurt, and milk.
- Next, peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces, placing them into your blender. This helps ensure a smoother blend.
- Add in the blueberries, whether they are fresh or frozen. If you’re using frozen, it will give your smoothie a lovely, chilled texture.
- Now, pour in the vanilla yogurt. This adds a creamy richness and a touch of sweetness to your drink.
- Finally, add the rolled oats and milk. The oats will not only help thicken the smoothie but also make it more filling.
- Close the lid on your blender and blend on high until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a bit more milk and blend again.
- Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass; I love using a mason jar for that rustic touch.
- Serve with a straw for an easy sipping experience, and enjoy your nutritious Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie!
Notes
- Storage: Enjoy your smoothie fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Freezing: You can freeze leftover smoothie in ice cube trays for a quick blendable treat later.
- Pairing: Consider pairing it with a slice of whole-grain toast or a light salad for a complete meal.
- Variations: Experiment with different fruits or add in some spinach for an extra nutrient boost.
- Meal Prep: Prepare ingredients in advance by measuring and storing them in bags for easy blending in the morning.
