This Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. Packed with antioxidants from blueberries, natural sweetness from bananas and dates, and the added health benefits of coconut oil and chia seeds, this smoothie is both satisfying and energizing.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the blueberries thoroughly.
- Peel and slice the banana.
- Remove the pits from the dates (if they're not already pitted).
- Optional step: For smoother blending, soak the dates in warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain.
- In a high-powered blender, add the 1 cup of blueberries, 1 banana, the soaked dates, and 1 cup of water.
- Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. This will add a subtle tropical flavor and healthy fats to your smoothie.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds. These tiny seeds pack a punch of nutrition and will help thicken your smoothie.
- Add 1 tablespoon of multi-grain oatmeal. This will make the smoothie more filling and add a slight hearty texture.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more water or a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- If it's too thin, add a few more chia seeds and let the smoothie sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, nutritious Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie!
Tips:
- For an extra cold smoothie, use frozen blueberries or bananas.
- Soak the chia seeds in water for a few minutes before blending to achieve a smoother texture.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less water or add more oatmeal.
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract.
- For added protein, you can mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
