Ingredient And Substitutions

Greens: Kale, chard, even romaine or spring salad greens every green works well with this smoothie.

Sweeteners: If you don't have maple syrup or dates you can add banana to it. Banana adds extra creaminess to the drink and is naturally sweet.

Pro tip: Frozen bananas will do the job instead of ice.

Oats: Instead of oats you can also try adding a tablespoon or two of flax or chia seeds to thicken it up the smoothie. 

Fruit: If you don't like blueberries at all then, try strawberries, raspberries, cherries, or a berry blend.

Flavourings: I personally love this smoothie even more when a pinch of cinnamon is added in it. You can also experiment with vanilla extract too.

Protein: You can add additional protein by adding a scoop of protein powder, or even a scoop of white beans! If you are adding any of these make sure to add more water in it so that the smoothie doesn't get too thick.

Pro tip: 

Put your green veggies first so they stay close to the blades so that they get completely blended.

FAQs

1. Are fruit smoothies healthy?

Fruit smoothies are super healthy. Fruit smoothies become even healthier if you add some protein and fiber to keep your stomach full longer. Don't forget to add in some leafy greens too and you’ve got a super healthy breakfast!

2. Are frozen berries good for smoothies?

Frozen fruits are best while making smoothies. I always choose frozen fruit over fresh ones. They blend up thicker and keep the smoothie cold and slushy due to which you don’t have to add ice that may water it down and ruin it's natural taste.

3. Can you put raw oats in a smoothie?

Yes you can! I would suggest you use old fashioned rolled oats as they are minimally processed. Quick oats are great too. Do not use steel cut oats because they are very hard and they won’t blend as well.
