(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup blueberries
1 cup spinach
1 cup almond milk
1 small banana
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/4 cup rolled oats

Directions

I add all the ingredients to a blender: blueberries, spinach, banana, almond milk, almond butter, and rolled oats.
I blend on high speed for about 60 seconds, or until everything is smooth and creamy.
I pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy it right away.

If I want it colder, I add a few ice cubes before blending.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes one large smoothie, perfect for one serving. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish, making it ideal for a quick breakfast or post-workout refuel.

Variations

I sometimes swap the almond milk for oat milk or coconut water for a different flavor.
For added protein, I like to add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.
If I’m in the mood for extra greens, I throw in a handful of kale alongside the spinach.
I occasionally use frozen blueberries and banana for a thicker, frostier texture.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but I can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If it separates a bit, I just give it a quick stir or shake before drinking. I don’t recommend reheating—it’s meant to be enjoyed cold.
