Instructions

  • Cook oats and milk for 3 minutes while stirring. Let it cool completely.
  • Place in a jug blender and add the remaining ingredients. Blend for a long time until the mixture is completely smooth.
Enjoy!
Tip

If you have fresh blueberries, you can also use them instead of frozen ones. They will bring a slightly more potent berry flavour to your drink. In this case, we suggest adding more ice cubes to the mixture. By blending them with the other ingredients, you can ensure that the smoothie is cooled and gets the thick, smooth texture it is known for.

Tip

Layering your ingredients is important to extending the life of your blender. Start with liquids at the bottom, followed by creamy ingredients like yogurt. Finish by adding frozen ingredients on top. That way, you make sure not to strain your blender too much when processing hard, frozen fruits and vegetables.

Enjoy a delicious blueberry smoothie with oats

Treat your taste buds to a delicious blueberry smoothie with oats. The blend of ingredients offers a delightful fusion of both flavours and textures, allowing you to fully embrace this refreshing and satisfying taste experience. By including oats in the smoothie, you are adding a great dose of hearty and wholesome elements that go incredibly well with the juicy blueberries. So, enjoy the smooth, velvety consistency introduced by the oats, milk, and creamy yogurt.

Tangy blueberries, mild yogurt, and sweet honey

For a fully rounded flavour experience, you would be hard-pressed to find a better combination of ingredients. The blueberries bring a natural sweetness and a mild tangy flavour, while the sweet honey infuses the mix with a more floral, sugary essence. The mild taste of yogurt is sure never to overpower, but it still manages to bring a more nuanced tangy flavour, rounding out the taste profile outstandingly. The ingredients are carefully selected to complement each other, resulting in a tangy, sweet, and filling smoothie.

Deliciously thick and creamy breakfast smoothie

A thick and creamy breakfast smoothie is bound to bring joy during those early hours of the day. The secret to creating a smooth beverage lies in using frozen berries and ice cubes, resulting in a thick, frosty texture. Because they are frozen, the berries are not as watery as fresh ones, which results in a much-desired thick and creamy smoothie. Blended oats contribute a velvety smooth texture, while yogurt adds rich creaminess. By combining yogurt and oats, the smoothie transforms into a wonderful sensation that hugs your palate with every sip.

Experiment with other berries

Try other berries for your smoothie with oats! Why not give your drink a sweeter touch by substituting blueberries with strawberries? That way, you add a beautiful, bright, and fruity flavour to your drink. If you are looking for more complexity, raspberries offer a great balance of sweetness and tartness. They have a mild tangy taste that fits perfectly with the overall level of sweetness from honey. Maybe you want to keep the colour dark. In that case, blackberries impart this stunning deep purple hue that is nothing short of captivating to behold. Their sweetness also carries a subtle earthy note that complements the mildly earthy flavour of the oats. Do all these choices sound amazing? Then, choose any combination of assorted berries you prefer – you have the final say in your smoothie!
