Start the day on the right foot with a protein-packed Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie!
Happy New Year!
It’s January 1st, and that means it’s smoothie time. After weeks of indulging in so many sweets and treats, I’m ready to get back to some healthy eating. Anyone else? Since January is National Oatmeal month, it seems quite appropriate that we kick off 2015 off with a Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie.
Have you ever put oatmeal in your smoothies? I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but once I tried it, it was love at first sip. It’s a great way to get some bulk in your smoothie when you don’t have protein powder on hand. (Or you think you have protein powder in the pantry only to discover that someone else used the last of it without telling you…Grrrr.) Fortunately, I always have oatmeal on hand, and since this smoothie uses everyday ingredients, consider the Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie your new go-to breakfast. Sweetened with blueberries, vanilla Greek yogurt and a touch of agave, it is a great way to start your day, and your year.
Here’s to a happy and healthy 2015!
Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen blueberries (you can also use fresh)

- 1/2 cup rolled oats

Replace with Chia Seed and Flaxseed. Same measurement of oatmeal, but add half of the Chia Seed and Flaxseed.

This both looks and sounds like a delicious healthy breakfast! I’ve been stuck on overnight oats (Recipes on my blog behindtheplates.com) but I should try ta smoothie once in a while! Thanks for the inspo!
Laneice Hicks says
It’s really good the oatmeal gives the smoothie a fuller texture and a filling taste and the mango n blueberries go great together. I used mixed berries tho and Apple juice for base flavor since I had no other juice.
Penny says
Looks delicious!
Would you recommend this for someone with type 2 Diabetes?

Hi Penny, I’m not a dietician so I’m not comfortable saying one or another. Good luck!
