Oatmeal Blueberry Smoothie recipe with additional tips and details to make it even better:
Ingredients:
1. Blueberries (1/2 cup): Packed with antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and fiber. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Frozen ones make the smoothie thicker and chilled without needing ice.
2. Rolled Oats (1/4 cup): Adds a creamy texture and provides fiber, keeping you full longer. You can toast the oats lightly in a pan for a nuttier flavor before blending.
3. Almond Butter (1 tablespoon): A source of healthy fats and protein, which makes the smoothie creamy and satisfying. Feel free to substitute with peanut butter or cashew butter if preferred.
4. Unsweetened Almond Milk (1 cup): Low-calorie and dairy-free, perfect for a lighter smoothie. You can use any milk alternative like oat milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk if you’re not dairy-free.
5. Honey (1 teaspoon, optional): Adds a touch of natural sweetness. If you want to keep the smoothie vegan, you can use maple syrup or skip it entirely.
Instructions:
1. Add all the ingredients to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Taste test and adjust sweetness if necessary.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Pro Tips:
Boost protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
Texture adjustment: If you like your smoothie thinner, add more almond milk. For a thicker smoothie, reduce the liquid or add more oats.
Add-ons: You can include a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without altering the taste. Or sprinkle chia or flaxseeds for omega-3s and fiber.
Make it a smoothie bowl: Reduce the almond milk to make a thicker consistency, then top with fresh blueberries, granola, coconut flakes, or sliced almonds.
