Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for an Oatmeal Blueberry Smoothie:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if necessary)
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana (for natural sweetness)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup milk (any kind, or use almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
- Ice cubes (if using fresh blueberries or you like it extra cold)
Instructions:
- Blend the Oats: Start by adding the rolled oats to the blender first. This helps to break them down and makes the smoothie smoother.
- Add the Fruits: Add the blueberries, banana, and any other fruits you’re using.
- Add the Liquids: Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt. You can adjust the liquid amount based on your preferred smoothie consistency.
- Sweeten and Spice: Add honey or maple syrup for sweetness and a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor (optional).
- Blend: Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more milk or water to adjust the consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass, add some ice cubes if desired, and enjoy!
This smoothie is packed with fiber from the oats and antioxidants from the blueberries—perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack!
