How to Make an Oatmeal Blueberry Smoothie

Step Two: Blend and Serve

Suggestions and Alternatives
- Adjust consistency – If the smoothie is too thick you can add more milk about 1/4 cup at a time until you reach the desired consistency
- Garnish – Garnish your blueberry oat smoothie with extra blueberries
- Milk – You can use vanilla almond milk, or regular almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk instead of regular milk
- Protein powder – If you want to add more protein you can use vanilla or plain protein powder. Just make sure you don’t use flavors that would conflict with the other flavors in the smoothie. You can also add protein in the form of peanut butter, almond butter or a handful of spinach.
- Ice cubes – If you forgot to freeze the berries and banana, you can add some ice cubes to the blender to give it a frosty texture.
- Added sweetness – Add some raw or organic honey or maple syrup for an added touch of sweetness.
- Other add-ins to consider – Best part about this recipe is that you can have fun and make it your own with another add-in. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, bee pollen, chia seeds, or flax seed are great options.
Can I Make this Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie in Advance?
The best way to make this smoothie in advance is to pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it into small portions. Then, when you’re ready to make it, just pop the cubes into the blender until smooth and frosty.
Why is a Blueberry Banana Smoothie Good for You?
This smoothie packs tons of vitamins and nutrients: Just check them out:
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are a great source of fiber, vitamin C and vitamin K. They also have one of the highest levels of antioxidants compared to many other fruits and vegetables.
Bananas: Bananas are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, such as potassium and vitamin C. Like blueberries, they are also a great source of fiber.
Oatmeal: Oats are rich in fiber and are a better source of protein and healthy fats than most other types of grains. They are very high in many vitamins and minerals as well as powerful antioxidants.
Can I Use Oat Milk?
Yes, you can use oat milk, but to keep it from giving the smoothie too much oat flavor, you may want to consider reducing the amount of old-fashioned oats.
