🍓Ingredients & Substitutes
Mixed Frozen Berries. Mixed berries add natural sweetness and a boost of antioxidants. I like to use a blend of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries; however, you can mix and match based on what you have or what you love!
Oats. Oats make the smoothie thicker and add fiber. If you need a gluten-free option, just use certified gluten-free oats.
Greek Yogurt. The Greek yogurt adds protein and makes the smoothie creamy. You can use regular or low-fat Greek yogurt. If you want to make it vegan or dairy-free, simply substitute the Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt like coconut or soy yogurt.
Milk. Any milk works! You can use regular or plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy milk. You can even swap it for fruit juice if you prefer.
Vanilla Extract. Vanilla goes so well with the berries and adds a warm vanilla flavor and a hint of sweetness.
Honey. Optional! The smoothie is already sweet from the fruit; however, if you like your smoothie sweeter, add a drizzle of honey. You can also use maple or agave syrup, or skip it for a more natural taste.

Step 1: ADD THE INGREDIENTS
Pour the milk, honey, and vanilla extract into your blender. Add the frozen berries and oats on top.
Step 2: BLEND UNTIL SMOOTH
Blend everything until the texture is silky and there are no chunks. If needed, give it another quick pulse to make sure everything is fully blended.
Step 2: SERVE
Pour the smoothie into glasses and top with extra berries or a sprinkle of oats for a little flair. Serve immediately and enjoy!
📖 Storage Instructions
Refrigerator: Store the smoothie in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. If separation occurs, simply give it a quick stir or re-blend before consuming.
Freezer: Pour the smoothie into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space for expansion, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying. Alternatively, freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays; when ready to drink, blend the cubes until smooth.
Popsicle: For a fun twist, pour the smoothie mixture into Popsicle molds and freeze until solid. These make for a refreshing, healthy snack on the go.
