Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 banana
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead: Prepare the smoothie the night before and store it in the refrigerator. A quick stir in the morning will refresh it.
• Oats: Use rolled oats for a smoother texture. Quick oats work too but may create a slightly different feel.
• Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt or omit it entirely.

Storage Instructions and Ingredient Substitutions

• Store any leftover smoothie in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving.
• Substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as soy milk, oat milk, or regular cow’s milk.
• If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen ones work perfectly and can make the smoothie even thicker.

Suggested Pairings

• Pair this smoothie with a warm slice of whole-grain toast topped with avocado and a sprinkle of sea salt.
• Enjoy alongside a vibrant fruit salad for a brunch spread.
• Complement with a cup of herbal tea or a steaming mug of chai latte.
