Oat Blueberry Smoothie with Banana
Thick, creamy and gently sweet, with a berry tartness and a light oaty note.
Oats are the reason this smoothie works as breakfast. They add body and a mild, cereal flavor, and they contain soluble fiber that makes the drink more filling. Banana brings sweetness, yogurt a little tang, and blueberries both color and a fresh, slightly tart fruitiness.
If you have time, let the oats soak in the milk for five to ten minutes before blending; the smoothie becomes smoother and less grainy. Fresh blueberries are lovely in summer, while frozen ones give a colder, thicker result and are available all year.
No. Rolled oats can be blended raw; soaking them briefly just improves the texture.
Yes, they give a colder and thicker smoothie.
Only if you use oats labelled gluten-free, as regular oats are often processed alongside wheat.
