Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie With Oats & Chia Seeds

This blueberry breakfast smoothie is a healthy, balanced breakfast made with nourishing whole-food ingredients to meet your nutritional needs in one glass. With healthy fats, carbs, 18 grams of protein, and an impressive 12 grams of fiber, the blueberry oat smoothie is filling enough for breakfast yet takes less than 5 minutes to make.

If you have busy mornings but still want a healthy breakfast blueberry smoothie that keeps you satisfied until lunch, this is an easy option. Frozen blueberries and banana give this smoothie its naturally sweet and fruity flavor, while oats, chia seeds, and high-protein vanilla Greek yogurt make it thick, creamy, and satisfying.

I use a sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt to sweeten this blueberry banana smoothie while also boosting the protein. Combined with oats and chia seeds, it creates a creamy, filling smoothie that feels substantial enough for breakfast.

First, blend the oats with water to make a quick oat milk before adding the remaining ingredients. This helps the oats blend smoothly while adding substance, making this blueberry oatmeal smoothie a great option when you want something more filling than a basic fruit smoothie.

I also love adding chia seeds for extra fiber and healthy fats. This blueberry smoothie with chia seeds provides 2 grams of plant-based omega-3 fats, making it an easy way to add more nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods to your breakfast.

For the best texture, enjoy this blueberry oat smoothie right after blending. The chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the smoothie as it sits, so you may need to add a little more water if you leave it too long. For an extra-cold, refreshing blueberry breakfast smoothie, add a handful of ice and enjoy!

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Tips and Substitutions

Greek yogurt: I used a sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt in this blueberry breakfast smoothie, which adds sweetness, vanilla flavor, and protein. If you use plain Greek yogurt instead, you will likely want to add a natural sweetener such as a pitted date or a little maple syrup to taste.

Consistency: For a thinner smoothie, add a little more water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Ice: For a colder, more chilled smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend until smooth.

Oats: Blending the oats with the water first creates a quick oat milk and helps the oats blend smoothly into the smoothie.

Fun Fact: Blending chia seeds may help your body absorb more of their healthy omega-3 fats. In a human study, people who ate ground chia seeds had higher levels of omega-3 fats in their blood, while those who ate the seeds whole did not see the same increase. Since the chia seeds are blended in this smoothie, their healthy fats may be easier for your body to absorb.
