Ingredients
  

Base

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • 1 banana fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats

Sweetener and Flavor

  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of cinnamon optional

Boosters (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1 scoop protein powder vanilla or unflavored
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 cup spinach for green smoothie

For Serving

  • ice cubes optional, for thicker texture
  • fresh berries for topping
  • granola for topping
  • coconut flakes for topping

Instructions
 

  • Add milk to blender first (this helps blending process), followed by Greek yogurt, frozen berries, banana, oats, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if using.
  • Add any optional boosters like chia seeds, flaxseed, protein powder, nut butter, or spinach.
  • Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down sides with a spatula if needed.
  • Check consistency - if too thick, add more milk 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again. If too thin, add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice cubes.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Blend briefly to incorporate.
  • Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately. Top with fresh berries, granola, or coconut flakes if desired for a smoothie bowl effect.

Notes

Frozen fruit makes smoothies thick and cold without needing ice. Fresh banana adds natural sweetness and creamy texture - freeze ripe bananas in chunks for even thicker smoothies. Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess - use dairy-free yogurt if needed. Oats add fiber and make the smoothie more filling. Add oats first and let soak in liquid for 5 minutes for smoother texture if your blender struggles. Any milk works: dairy, almond, oat, soy, or coconut. Start with less liquid and add more as needed. Spinach adds nutrients without affecting flavor. This smoothie keeps in the fridge for 24 hours - stir before drinking. Make ahead: prep smoothie bags with frozen fruit and oats, store in freezer, then blend with liquid when ready. Great for meal prep or quick breakfast. Add coffee for a breakfast mocha smoothie. Customize with your favorite fruits and flavors.
ALLERGEN INFORMATION: Contains dairy (yogurt, milk). Easily made dairy-free with non-dairy alternatives. May contain nuts if using nut butter. Naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats. Always check ingredient labels if you have food allergies.
