Blueberry Muffin Smoothie
from Smoothie Project
Ingredients (makes 1 smoothie):
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 fresh or frozen banana -- I keep sliced frozen bananas in a storage bag in my freezer at all times
- 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 tsp. lemon zest
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk
Directions:
Step 1: Add the blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt, oats, lemon zest, and nut milk to your blender container. [NOTE: I personally find the smoothie blends completely by adding the fruit first and layering the other ingredients on top.]
Step 2: Blend until all of ingredients are completely combined -- about 30 seconds. This ensures the oats and frozen fruit are completely blended. Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with a few additional blueberries, and serve.
Look at that gorgeous purple color!! This smoothie tastes as great as it looks...the blueberries and banana work perfectly with the tangy yogurt and earthy oats. I'll admit I was initially worried about the smoothie's sweetness level...but the frozen ripe banana provided the perfect sweetness. One thing to be aware of: because this smoothie contains oats, it will thicken up pretty quickly...so you might need a spoon to finish it up. That's totally NOT a bad thing! The fiber in the oats helps you stay full and satisfied for hours.
