Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (sub: your choice of milk)
  • 1/2 banana, sliced (preferably frozen for best texture)
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons chopped raw walnuts (sub: chopped raw pecans or almonds)
  • Optional: 1-2 scoops unsweetened protein powder (I like Vital Proteins brand.)

Instructions
 

  1. Start by adding 1 cup almond milk to a high-powered blender. Then, add all the other ingredients.
  2. Blend until smooth. You may need to stop and stir/shake the blender or add up to a 1/2 cup more of almond milk, as needed, to make sure it gets smooth.

Freezer Instructions

Make Freezer Smoothie Packs for Later: Layer these ingredients in small freezer bags in the following order and then seal tightly, squeezing out the air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chopped raw walnuts (sub: chopped raw pecans or almonds)
  • Optional: 1-2 scoops protein powder
 
Make from Frozen: Pour 1 cup almond milk into a high-powered blender first. Break up the ingredients in the bag by hitting it on the counter or crunching it with your hands. Dump the ingredients from the bag in and follow blending instructions above.
 

Notes/Tips

  • If you like things sweeter, just add a dollop of honey, pure maple syrup, or agave nectar until you get the flavor you desire. You could also add more banana.
  • Check out all 7 smoothie packs and download a recipe cheat sheet and shopping list.
  • If you'd like to add in more protein, feel free to add in a sugar-free, unflavored protein powder or collagen powder. I like Vital Protein Collagen Peptides. You may need to add a little more liquid.
  • Gluten-Free Note: If you have a gluten allergy, be sure to buy certified gluten-free oats. While oats are a naturally gluten-free food, they are often processed in a factory where gluten is present.
