This is breakfast you can drink: blueberries, fruit and oats blended with milk into a thick, lilac smoothie. It tastes a little like blueberry porridge, only cold.
100 g
blueberries
½
banana
½
pear cored
2 tbsp
rolled oats
5 oz
milk
½ tsp
agave syrup to taste (optional)
Garnish: A few blueberries · Ice: Served up, no ice
Thick and creamy, with sweet-tart blueberry, soft banana and pear and a mild oat body.
Oats are a classic breakfast grain and contain fibre, including beta-glucan. In a smoothie they add body and make the drink more filling, especially together with milk, which brings protein and calcium.
Blueberries give the smoothie its colour and a sweet-tart flavour; their dark pigments are called anthocyanins. Banana and pear add natural sweetness, so the agave syrup is only needed if your berries are very tart. A good option for busy mornings.
Yes. The oats will thicken it overnight, so stir in a splash of milk in the morning.
Fine, tender rolled oats blend best. Jumbo oats work if you soak them first.
Yes, they are ideal and available all year.
