A few years ago, I had a daily smoothie habit. I played around with different add-ins, but my favorite was always one with bananas and blueberries.

Since then, I've discovered the wonders of oat milk. If you aren't familiar with this product (it's a newer milk alternative), it's made from oats and water and has a thick and creamy consistency similar to cow's milk, so it's great for smoothies and hot chocolate.

Packed with bananas and blueberries, this dairy-free smoothie is slightly sweet, super creamy, dairy-free, and has a beautifully vibrant color. And with just 3 ingredients, it doesn't get any better than this.

🥛 Using Oat Milk in Smoothies

Oat milk is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional dairy milk in smoothies, offering a range of benefits that appeal to both health-conscious individuals and those with dietary restrictions.

One of the primary advantages of using oat milk in smoothies is its natural creaminess. In addition, oat milk is naturally sweet, eliminating the need for additional sweeteners in the smoothie, thus reducing overall sugar content and making it a diabetic-friendly option.

Furthermore, oat milk is a rich source of essential nutrients and fiber. It contains vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, as well as minerals such as calcium and iron.

Overall, incorporating oat milk into smoothies is a fantastic option for anyone seeking a delicious and satisfying beverage.

🍌 Ingredient Notes

• Oat milk - Made from oats and water, this thick and creamy plant-based milk is great for making smoothies.
• Banana - Be sure to use bananas that are ripe so your smoothie is naturally sweetened. If your bananas aren't quite ripe, go ahead and add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. Psst, if you have more ripe bananas to use, try my banana gingerbread muffins, or banana oat pancakes.
• Blueberries - You can use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries for this smoothie. If you use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer, it will make a frothy smoothie.
• Ice - Adding ice helps to make your smoothie nice and frothy. If you don't have ice on hand, freeze your bananas instead and that will do the trick.

🥑 Variations & Substitutions

• Avocado: ½ of one avocado will add healthy fats and protein, and make your smoothies extra thick.
• Raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries: Substitute your favorite berry or mix and match!
• Cocoa powder: Add 1 teaspoon for chocolaty flavor without added sugar.
• Make it sweeter: Adding 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or a maple syrup replacement will make your smoothies slightly sweeter.
• Kale or spinach: 1 cup of greens will add extra nutrition and fiber.
• Greek yogurt: ½ cup will add creaminess, protein, and make your smoothies super thick.
• Thicker: Make a thicker smoothie by adding 1 extra banana.
• Protein-rich: Increase the amount of protein by adding a spoonful of yogurt, almond butter, or peanut butter.

🥄 How To Make Oat Milk Smoothie

Pour oat milk into blender (it's helpful to add your liquid first). Add chopped banana, blueberries, and ice cubes.

Blend until thick and creamy, about 1 minute. Pour into two glasses and sprinkle cinnamon on top (if using).

⏲ Expert Tips

• Skip the ice cubes and freeze your bananas and/or blueberries instead to get the same frothy consistency.
• If bananas are underripe: Add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or honey for a sweeter smoothie.
• How to store: Keep in your refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• How to freeze: Place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and re-blend until creamy.
