If you’re unable to find fresh blackberries, frozen berries work wonderfully. Not a fan of blackberries? Not a problem, this recipe is perfectly suited to substitute any of your favorite berries. It’s equally tasty using blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
What You’ll Need to Make this Oat Smoothie
- Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- A little water
- Almonds
- Old-fashioned oats
- Greek style plain yogurt
- Oat milk (or almond milk)
- Honey (or agave)
- Ice (optional)
How to Make this Blackberry Oat Smoothie Recipe:
Step One:
- In a blender, add the blackberries and blend until smooth, dividing mixture between two glasses.
Step Two:
- Rinse blender, then add remaining ingredients and blend. If using ice, you only need a small handful, and this will give you a thicker consistency.
Step Three:
- Pour the milk mixture into the glasses over the berry mixture. Garnish with frozen blackberries. Stir and enjoy straight away. If the smoothie sits for a bit, just blitz it for a few more seconds to bring it together again.
Tips and Tricks:
- During blackberry season, buy extra and freeze to enjoy the rest of the year.
- To make frozen blackberry garnishes, using fresh berries, simply thread a few onto the cocktails sticks, then freeze on a tray for a few hours. When the berries come out of the freezer, they will become all frosty and gorgeous.
- You can use frozen blackberries for this recipe instead of using ice, giving it a nice cold and thicker consistency without watering the flavor down.
- If you fancy other berries, simply substitute them for the blackberries and enjoy.
- You can substitute your favorite milk for the oat milk.
