Berry Oat Breakfast Smoothie
Description
This smoothie mixes rolled oats and frozen berries with milk and vanilla yogurt for creaminess and body. Honey adds sweetness, and blending with ice breaks up the mixture, creating a smooth, chilled drink with a mild berry flavor and the subtle graininess of oats.
The preparation is simple: combine all ingredients in a blender, pulse, then puree until smooth. Adjust sweetness or milk volume to reach preferred thickness and taste. It works well as a quick breakfast or snack that combines fruit, dairy, and whole grains.
Using mixed berries offers layered flavors, but strawberries or other berries can be substituted. The oats contribute fiber and texture, making this a satiating start to the day.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 cup milk (more as needed)
- ½ cup berries frozen
- 3 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- ⅓ cup vanilla yogurt or greek yogurt
- ¼ cup ice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender. Cover tightly and pulse until ice is broken up, then puree until smooth. Taste and add sweeter if needed or milk if it is too thick. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using a mix of berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries adds flavor complexity; strawberries can also be used.
