Prepare Ingredients:Ensure your blueberries and banana are frozen. If not, you can freeze them for a few hours before blending. This helps give the smoothie a thick and creamy texture. Measure out all your ingredients and have them ready.

Add Liquid Base: Pour 1 cup of almond milk into the blender. This will be the liquid base for your smoothie and helps in blending the ingredients smoothly.

Add Yogurt and Flavorings: Add ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt to the blender. This adds creaminess and protein to your smoothie. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the smoothie.

Add Fruits and Almond Butter: Place 1 cup of frozen blueberries and 1 frozen banana into the blender. These fruits provide natural sweetness and a rich flavor. Add 1 tbsp of almond butter to the blender. This will give your smoothie a nutty taste and extra creaminess.

Add Oatmeal and Optional Ingredients: Add ⅓ cup of quick-cook oatmeal to the blender. This makes your smoothie more filling and adds a nice texture. If you’re using them, add 1 tbsp of hemp hearts. They are optional but provide additional protein and healthy fats.

Blend the Smoothie: Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on a low setting. Gradually increase to a high setting until all the ingredients are well blended. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no chunks of fruit or oatmeal remaining. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender.

Check Consistency: Stop the blender and check the consistency of your smoothie. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses or a to-go cup. Optionally, you can garnish with a few blueberries, a sprinkle of oatmeal, or a drizzle of almond butter for an extra touch.

Enjoy: Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and refreshing. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious Blueberry Almond Banana Oatmeal Smoothie!
