A quick, nutritious, and creamy smoothie packed with blueberries, oats, and Greek yogurt, perfect for busy mornings and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out the oats and soak: Place ½ cup (45 g) of rolled oats in a bowl and cover with ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk. Let it soak for at least 10 minutes to soften (or overnight if prepping ahead).
  2. Add the blueberries: Into the blender, add 1 cup (150 g) of fresh or frozen blueberries.
  3. Include Greek yogurt and remaining milk: Add ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt and the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) almond milk.
  4. Sweeten and spice: Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup if desired, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the blender.
  5. Optional chia seeds and ice: Toss in 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds and ½ cup (120 ml) ice cubes if you want a cooler smoothie.
  6. Blend until smooth: Blend on high for about 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure even blending.
  7. Check consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of almond milk and blend again. If too thin, add a few more oats or some frozen blueberries.
  8. Serve or store: Pour into jars or cups. If prepping ahead, seal tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Shake or stir before drinking.

Notes

Soaking oats softens them and prevents grainy texture. Use frozen blueberries to chill smoothie without extra ice. Adjust sweetness to taste. Add chia seeds just before drinking to avoid thickening if prepping ahead. Clean blender immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
