Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, dairy milk, or milk of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a colder smoothie
How To Make It
Add the almond milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the smoothie from getting too thick at the bottom.
Add the Greek yogurt, blueberries, banana, oats, chia seeds, and vanilla extract if using. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
Check the texture. If the smoothie is too thick, add 1 to 3 tablespoons more milk and blend again. If you want it colder or thicker, add the ice and blend until frosty.
Taste before serving. Blueberries and banana usually add enough natural sweetness, but you can blend in a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
Pour into one large glass or two smaller glasses. For a pretty Pinterest-style finish, top with a few extra blueberries, a sprinkle of oats, or a tiny pinch of chia seeds.
Tips
Use frozen blueberries for the thickest, coldest texture. They also give the smoothie a beautiful purple color and make it feel extra refreshing.
Choose plain Greek yogurt to keep the flavor simple and creamy. Vanilla Greek yogurt works too, but it may make the smoothie sweeter.
Let the oats and chia seeds sit in the liquid for 5 minutes before blending if you want an extra smooth texture. This softens them slightly and helps the smoothie thicken evenly.
For a lighter texture, use a little more milk. For a spoonable smoothie bowl, use less milk and add more frozen blueberries.
If prepping ahead, add everything except the milk to a freezer bag. When ready to blend, pour in the milk and blend until creamy.
Blend it up and enjoy a bright, creamy smoothie!
