Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 medium ripe peach, pitted and sliced, or 1 cup frozen peach slices
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional, for a thicker chill
How To Make It
1. Add the milk and Greek yogurt to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly and makes blending easier. 2. Add the blueberries, peach slices, banana, oats, lemon juice, and lemon zest. 3. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie looks creamy and evenly blended. 4. Taste and adjust. If you want it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup. If you want a brighter lemon flavor, add a tiny extra squeeze of lemon juice. 5. For a thicker smoothie, blend in the ice or add a few more frozen blueberries. For a thinner smoothie, add another splash of milk. 6. Pour into a glass and serve right away while it is cold, creamy, and fresh.
Tips
- Frozen blueberries make the smoothie extra chilled and give it a pretty purple-blue color.
- If using a fresh peach, choose one that smells sweet and gives slightly when pressed. If peaches are not in season, frozen peach slices work beautifully.
- Lemon zest adds a sunny, bakery-style flavor without making the smoothie too tart. Use only the yellow part of the peel.
- Let the oats sit in the blender with the milk for 2 to 3 minutes before blending if you want an even softer texture.
- For a smoothie bowl, reduce the milk to 1/3 cup and use frozen peach and frozen blueberries. Top with granola, sliced banana, or extra fruit.
- If your banana is very ripe, you may not need any added sweetener.
Sip, smile, and enjoy this bright little blender treat!
