Description
Craving a quick, wholesome breakfast? This Best Breakfast Smoothie delivers! Just blend ripe banana, mixed berries, oats, and Greek yogurt with almond milk for a creamy, energizing start.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Step 1: Add all liquid ingredients to the blender. Pour the unsweetened almond milk and plain Greek yogurt into the blender jug first.
- Step 2: Load the solid ingredients into the blender. Add the sliced banana, mixed berries (fresh or frozen), rolled oats, packed baby spinach, and chia seeds to the blender.
- Step 3: Blend until smooth and creamy. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds, or until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the smoothie is completely smooth with no visible chunks.
- Step 4: Check consistency and serve immediately. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly to reach your desired consistency. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Notes
- To enjoy later, store your smoothie in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a day, giving it a good shake or stir before drinking as natural separation may occur.
- As this is a refreshing cold drink, reheating is not recommended; if stored and it's become too thick, simply add a splash of your favorite milk and stir or re-blend briefly to achieve your desired consistency.
- Elevate your morning routine by pouring this into a tall glass and topping with a few extra fresh berries, a sprinkle of granola, or a dash of cinnamon for added texture and flair.
- For a perfectly chilled and extra thick smoothie without diluting the flavor, always opt for frozen berries and a ripe, previously frozen banana if you have one on hand.
