Ingredients

• ½ cup frozen blueberries
  Frozen blueberries (or wild blueberries) give the smoothie its vibrant color, natural sweetness, and a boost of antioxidants.
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
  Almond butter adds healthy fats, protein, and a nutty richness. You can swap for peanut butter, seed butter, or your favorite nut butter.
• ¼ cup gluten-free oats
  Certified gluten free oats or quick oats give the smoothie a hearty, filling texture. Oats also provide fiber and slow-digesting carbs that help stabilize blood sugar.
• 1 serving vanilla protein powder
  I love using FlavCity Vegan Vanilla or Truvani Vanilla Protein for their clean ingredients and great flavor. The protein helps make this a more balanced, filling breakfast.
• 1 cup milk of your choice
  I use Fairlife 2% milk for added protein and creaminess, but almond milk, coconut milk, or any favorite milk will work perfectly.
• Optional: A few ice cubes
  Add a few ice cubes for a colder, slushie-like texture.
• Optional: Collagen peptides
  Add a scoop for an extra dose of skin, hair, and joint support without altering the flavor.

How to Make Blueberry Oats Breakfast Smoothie

1. Add the frozen blueberries, almond butter, oats, vanilla protein powder, and milk to a high-powered blender.
2. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to combine, then increase to high speed and blend until smooth.
3. Add a few ice cubes if you like a thicker, colder texture, and blend again.
4. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with chia seeds, hemp seeds, or some leftover blueberries for a finishing touch.

Tips and Tricks

• Use frozen banana in place of some blueberries for a blueberry banana oatmeal smoothie twist.
• Soak your raw oats in the milk for 10 minutes before blending for a creamier texture.
• Use a fine powder protein for the smoothest results—gritty protein can ruin a smoothie!

Variations

This smoothie is easy to customize based on your dietary needs or flavor preferences:

• Vegan option: Use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free milk like almond milk or coconut milk.
• Green smoothie: Add a handful of spinach—trust me, you won’t even taste it.
• Blueberry muffin flavor: Add a dash of vanilla extract and a Medjool date or a teaspoon of maple syrup for a sweeter, bakery-inspired flavor.

How to Store Leftovers

Store leftover smoothie in an airtight jar or container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking as some separation may occur. You can also freeze the smoothie in a freezer-safe cup or silicone mold for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge or blend with a splash of milk to bring it back to smoothie perfection.

Common Questions

Can I make this recipe without protein powder?
Absolutely. You can leave out the protein powder and still enjoy a nutrient-packed smoothie. Try adding Greek yogurt, collagen peptides, or chia seeds to help balance it out.

Can I turn this into overnight oats instead of a smoothie?
Yes! Mix all the ingredients (except ice) in a jar and let sit overnight in the fridge. In the morning, you’ll have creamy blueberry overnight oats ready to go! You’ll want to add more oats though, so throw in about 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup.
