This ain’t your grandma’s porridge, folks. We’re talking a berry blast of creamy oat perfection, packed with the goodness of bananas, yogurt, and a touch of honeyed sweetness.
It’s smooth, it’s satisfying, it’s like summer sunshine in a glass (even if it’s January outside, brrr!). So grab your blender, gather your ingredients, and get ready to whip up a breakfast smoothie that’ll leave you singing in the shower (or at least humming appreciatively). Let’s dive in!
Questions I get about this smoothie recipe:
Q: Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Answer: Yes, you can! However, the smoothie might not be as thick and creamy as with rolled oats.
Q: Can I use frozen bananas?
Answer: Absolutely! Frozen bananas will actually make the smoothie thicker and colder, adding a nice frosty texture.
Q: Do I need to use honey?
Answer: No, honey is completely optional. Feel free to use any sweetener you like, or skip it altogether for a naturally sweet taste.
Q: What kind of milk is best?
Answer: Any type of milk you enjoy works! Dairy milk, plant-based milk, nut milk, it’s all up to your preference.
Q: Is this smoothie gluten-free?
Answer: Yes, this recipe is gluten-free as long as you use certified gluten-free oats.
Q: Is this smoothie vegan?
Answer: This smoothie is vegan if you choose plant-based milk and yogurt.
Q: Can I store this smoothie for later?
Answer: You can! Simply store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, the texture might change slightly over time.
What you need to make it:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1 banana, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
1 cup milk (your choice! Dairy, plant-based, nut milk, etc.)
1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Handful of ice (optional, for thicker consistency)
How to make it:
Instructions:

Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a handful of ice.
Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey if desired.
Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Tips:
For an extra creamy texture, use frozen berries.
You can experiment with different types of berries and milk to find your favorite combination.
Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or chia seeds for extra flavor and nutrients.
