🥫 Ingredients needed:
📝 Ingredient notes:
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries - we used fresh, but frozen work just as well. They'll add a thicker consistency if you like that.
- ½ fresh ripe banana - you can also use a frozen banana for added thickness.
- ½ cup vanilla yogurt - can substitute Greek yogurt for a tarter taste.
- ¼ cup old-fashioned oats - this gives the amazing oat flavor
- ½ cup milk - any type of milk or milk substitute will work. Just use your favorite brand of milk or milk substitute.
Optional ingredients:
- Ground nutmeg or cinnamon
- Bee pollen
- Chia seeds
- Flax seeds
- Vanilla or plain protein powder
🔄 Substitutions
- fresh fruit instead of frozen and vice versa
- vanilla almond milk, or regular almond milk for regular milk
- added sweetness - add some honey or maple syrup for added sweetness
- add protein in the form of peanut butter, almond butter, another type of nut butter

📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
How Can I Incorporate Protein in this Smoothie?
The yogurt in the smoothie contains protein, but you can swap with Greek yogurt for even more protein. You can also add any type of nut butter, flax seeds, or chia seeds to add more protein.
And, of course, a great option is adding a vanilla or plain protein powder to the smoothie.
Yes, you can use oat milk, but we recommend you reduce the amount of old-fashioned oats.
