Ingredients & Substituions
This smoothie is made with healthy ingredients that are all plant-based and vegan-friendly. It is also a gluten-free recipe that is easily customisable.
What you'll need:
- Oat milk. You can adjust the amount of oat milk you add depending on your preferred consistency.
- Coconut yogurt. I like to use coconut yogurt but you can use any thick, plain non-dairy yogurt that you prefer best.
- Blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen berries.
- Banana. You can use fresh banana or frozen banana pieces for this smoothie. To make this blueberry smoothie without banana simply substitute the banana for coconut cream, chia seeds, or even avocado (my personal favourite).
- Rolled oats. Rolled oats are best for this recipe as they give a good texture, but you can use any other kind of oats as well.
- Vanilla extract. This adds a delicious flavor to the smoothie and enhances its taste. But if you don't have any vanilla extract then you can simply omit it from the recipe.
- Vanilla protein powder. You can use any vegan vanilla protein powder you like best for this recipe.
- Ice cubes. To keep the smoothie cold and refreshing.
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
- A small bunch of baby spinach or kale
- More berries or fruits, such as peaches, raspberries, mango

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Use frozen fruit for a thick smoothie: This is what will give your smoothie that delicious creamy, thick texture. Using frozen bananas and frozen blueberries will instantly up your smoothie game.
Use good quality fruit: This smoothie is all about delicious fruit so be sure to use the best quality fruit you can for the best flavor. Make sure to add ripe bananas for natural sweetness - they should have dark spots on their skin.
Add extra milk if needed: If your blender gets stuck or your smoothie seems too thick, simply add an extra splash of any preferred milk to get the perfect smoothie consistency that you prefer.
Make it a smoothie bowl. You can turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl by halving the amount of milk used. This will create a thicker smoothie that can be poured into a bowl and topped with fresh fruit, seeds, granola, yogurt, or nuts.
ARE BLUEBERRY OAT MILK SMOOTHIES GOOD FOR YOU?
Blueberries are often labelled superfoods because they are highly nutritious and low in calories. 1 cup of blueberries (this smoothie has 2 cups!) has 4 grams of fibre, 24% of Vitamin C's RDI, and 36% of Vitamin K's RDI. Blueberries are also incredibly high in antioxidant levels. This makes blueberry smoothies incredibly good for you - and this smoothie has even more health benefits due to all the other healthy ingredients in it. This smoothie has a good balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbs!
RECIPE FAQS
How many servings is this smoothie?
This recipe makes two smoothies. You can halve or double the ingredients to make the amount that you need.
Does my fruit need to be frozen to make a smoothie?
No, it does not. You can use a combination of fresh and frozen fruit, or you can use all fresh or all frozen. I like using some frozen fruit so it makes the smoothie cold without adding any ice!
Is this smoothie healthy?
Yes! This smoothie is well-balanced and contains lots of vitamins and minerals. The berries are full of vitamin c and antioxidants, the banana contains fibre and potassium, and the protein powder boosts your protein intake. So this smoothie is packed with health benefits.
What are the healthiest fruits to put in your smoothies?
The best fruits to use in a smoothie are ones that are low in sugar and high in nutrients and flavor - such as berries. Bananas are also a great addition to smoothies as they make the smoothie naturally thick and creamy, especially if frozen bananas are used.
Storage Instructions
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. But you can also store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for 1 - 2 days. The smoothie might separate slightly while being stored, but just give it a stir before enjoying it!
You can also freeze your blueberry banana smoothie. Simply place it in an airtight freezer-safe jar, and freeze it for up to 3 months. To defrost the smoothie, place it in the fridge the night before you want to drink it. Stir and enjoy the next day!
