Thick and creamy with dark berry tartness, sweet banana and a soft, nutty oat body.
About this smoothie
This smoothie is a drinkable version of a classic Bircher-style breakfast. Rolled oats bring fibre and body, blueberries and blackberries add colour, tartness and more fibre, and a ripe banana supplies sweetness. Yoghurt, whole milk and almond milk make it creamy and add protein, and a little honey rounds it off if needed.
It is one of the more filling smoothies and works well as a complete breakfast on busy mornings or before a long hike or bike ride.
Bartender tips
Soak the oats in the milk for 10 minutes first for an especially smooth texture.
Frozen berries make it colder and thicker.
Variations
Muesli nut
Add 1 tbsp chopped almonds or almond butter for more crunch and flavour.
Frequently asked questions
Can I prepare it the night before?
Yes, like overnight oats. Stir in a little milk in the morning if it has thickened too much.
Can I make it vegan?
Use only almond milk, plant yoghurt and agave syrup instead of honey.
Can I use muesli instead of oats?
Yes, an unsweetened muesli works; nuts and raisins make it sweeter and chunkier.
