Healthy Blueberry Banana Oat Smoothie Recipe

I love to get my daily fruit servings in a smoothie. It’s just so easy and the options are infinite! Here is a pretty simple and healthy Blueberry Banana Oat Smoothie that will rock your taste buds!

I’ve always had a thing for smoothies, whether its the Super Healthy Orange Carrot Smoothie  or Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl I love experimenting with different flavor profiles! It goes to show that healthy eating can most definitely be done on a budget. Eating healthy can actually be a lot cheaper than stocking up on all the junk food that is readily available. 

Jumpstart your day with this Healthy Blueberry Banana Oats Smoothie, a delightful blend of nutrient-packed ingredients. Loaded with juicy blueberries, creamy banana, old-fashioned oats for extra fiber, nutrient-rich spinach, tangy blueberry yogurt, milk for creaminess, and chia seeds for a dose of healthy omega-3 fats, this smoothie is not only super healthy but incredibly delicious and filling.

FAQs

Q: Can I use frozen fruits?
A: Absolutely. Using frozen bananas and blueberries will give your smoothie a thicker, colder consistency.

Q: Can I use non-dairy milk?
A: Yes, you can replace the cow’s milk with any non-dairy milk of your choice.

Tips and Tricks

  1. Blending Order: Add the liquid ingredients first to help the blender run smoothly, then add the remaining ingredients.
  2. Prep Ahead: Prepare the ingredients the night before and store in the fridge for a quick morning blend.

Variations

  2. Sweeten It Up: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or a few dates.

Where to Serve

This smoothie is perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack. It’s also a great post-workout meal thanks to its balance of carbs, protein, and fats.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. However, if you have leftovers, you can store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Problem: The smoothie is too thick.
Solution: Add more milk or a bit of water to adjust the consistency to your liking.

Problem: The smoothie is not smooth enough.
