- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (OR honey, optional for extra sweetness)
- 4 ice cubes (optional, recommended if using fresh blueberries for a colder smoothie)
Instructions
- Prep: Place all ingredients—banana, blueberries, vanilla Greek yogurt, milk, rolled oats, maple syrup or honey, and ice cubes—into a blender.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all the oats and fruit are fully incorporated.
- Serve: Pour into glasses and serve immediately for the best freshness, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving if you prefer a colder smoothie.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries to avoid adding ice cubes and keep the smoothie thicker.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to your taste.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut yogurt and almond milk.
- Adding rolled oats provides extra fiber and makes the smoothie more filling.
