Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 medium banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 3/4 cup unsweetened milk or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a frostier smoothie
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
How To Make It
Add the oats to the blender first and pulse them a few times to make the smoothie texture extra smooth. This quick step helps the oats blend more evenly, especially if you are using a standard blender.
Add the frozen blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and ice if using. Blend on high until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
Check the consistency. For a thicker smoothie, add a few extra ice cubes or another spoonful of Greek yogurt. For a thinner smoothie, splash in a little more milk and blend again.
Taste and adjust. If your blueberries are very tart, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy right away.
Tips
Use frozen blueberries for the best thick, cold texture. Fresh blueberries also work, but you may want to add more ice to keep the smoothie frosty.
Choose a protein powder you already enjoy, because the flavor will come through. Vanilla pairs beautifully with the blueberries and oats, while unflavored protein powder keeps the taste more simple and natural.
If you like a super-smooth texture, soak the oats in the milk for 5 to 10 minutes before blending. This softens them and makes the final smoothie creamier.
For a spoonable smoothie bowl, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup and top with extra blueberries, a sprinkle of oats, or a few banana slices.
Blend it, sip it, and enjoy your blueberry-oat boost!
