Blackberries give this smoothie its deep, almost black colour and a winey tartness. A spoonful of oat flakes makes it more substantial, enough for a quick breakfast.

Blackberry Spinach Smoothie with Oat Flakes
Tart and fruity with a winey blackberry flavour, a hint of pepper and a slightly thicker, oaty body.
Blackberries have a more intense, slightly winey flavour than most berries and bring plenty of fibre and vitamin C. Baby spinach and a few rocket leaves add greens with a light peppery touch, while the dark fruit hides their colour completely. The oat flakes are the practical part: they thicken the smoothie and add complex carbohydrates, so it keeps you full longer than a pure fruit drink. A sensible choice for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
Yes. It contains only fruit, greens, oats and water.
Only if you use oats labelled gluten free; regular oats may contain traces of gluten.
Yes, but the oats keep swelling; add a splash of water and shake well in the morning.
