Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 banana
- 1 cup fresh OR frozen blueberries
Dairy & Liquids
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
Others
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (OR honey, optional for extra sweetness)
- 4 ice cubes (optional for creamier/colder smoothie; recommended if using fresh blueberries)
Instructions
- Prep: Place the banana, blueberries, vanilla Greek yogurt, milk, rolled oats, maple syrup (or honey), and ice cubes into a blender. Ensure all ingredients are ready and measured before blending for smooth consistency.
- Blend: Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, usually about 30 to 60 seconds depending on your blender’s power. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary to get an even mixture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and taste. Alternatively, you can chill it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to enjoy it cold later.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; frozen blueberries help create a thicker and colder smoothie.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add more maple syrup or honey to taste.
- Rolled oats add fiber and make the smoothie more filling, but you can omit them if desired.
- Use any type of milk you prefer, such as cow’s milk, almond milk, or oat milk for dietary preferences.
- Consume the smoothie within 2 hours if chilled to maintain freshness and texture.
