Ingredients
  

  • Frozen blueberries (1 cup) – fresh works too, but frozen makes it thicker
  • Milk (3/4 cup) – dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk
  • Plain or vanilla yogurt (1/2 cup) – Greek for extra protein, or regular
  • Ripe banana (1/2 medium) – for natural sweetness and creaminess
  • Honey or maple syrup (1–2 teaspoons, optional)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Cinnamon (a pinch)
  • Ice (a handful, optional) – if using fresh berries
  • Pinch of salt – wakes up the flavors

Instructions
 

  • Soften the oats (optional for extra creaminess): Add the oats to the milk and let them sit for 5–10 minutes while you gather other ingredients. This helps them blend silky-smooth.
  • Load the blender: Add milk and yogurt first, then oats, banana, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Top with blueberries. Liquids on the bottom help the blades catch everything.
  • Sweeten to taste: If your banana is very ripe, you may not need honey or maple. Start without it and add later if needed.
  • Blend until smooth: Start on low, then move to high for 30–45 seconds. Scrape down the sides if any oats cling to the jar.
  • Adjust the texture: For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen blueberries or a few ice cubes. For a thinner one, splash in more milk.
  • Taste and finish: Add a drizzle of honey or maple if you want more sweetness. Blend again for a few seconds.
  • Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. For a bit of crunch, sprinkle extra oats, chia seeds, or a few whole blueberries on top.
