Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 large glass (or 2 smaller glasses)
Author: Nico Pallotta

  • 1 ripe banana fresh or frozen for a creamier smoothie
  • ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt full-fat or nonfat
  • ½ cup (120 g) milk any - we used oat milk
  • ½ cup (75 g) frozen blueberries or mixed berries
  • ¼ cup (25 g) rolled oats or quick oats
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional) or maple syrup

  • Add 1 ripe banana, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, ½ cup frozen blueberries or mixed berries, and ¼ cup rolled oats to a blender.
    Blend for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie looks smooth and creamy.
    Taste the smoothie. If you’d like it sweeter, add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and blend again for a few seconds.
    If the smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, add a few more berries, banana, or ice cubes and blend briefly.
    Pour into a glass and enjoy right away while it’s cold and creamy.
    Two glasses of creamy purple Greek yogurt breakfast smoothie topped with oats on marble table in natural light.
Substitutions
  • Ripe banana → Half an avocado (for creaminess), frozen banana (for extra thickness)
  • Greek yogurt → Low-fat Greek yogurt, Skyr (higher protein), plant-based yogurt
  • Milk → Almond milk, oat milk (slightly sweeter), soy milk (extra protein)
  • Frozen berries → Mango, pineapple, cherries
  • Rolled oats → Quick oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, almond butter
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional) → Soft date, splash of vanilla extract, or skip entirely
 
Tips
  • Use frozen fruit: Makes the smoothie thick, cold, and creamy without diluting flavor.
  • Choose ripe bananas: They add natural sweetness so you often won’t need extra sweetener.
  • Blend oats first: Pulse oats with milk for a few seconds if your blender isn’t very strong.
  • Adjust thickness easily: Add milk to thin it, or extra frozen fruit or yogurt to thicken.
  • Taste before sweetening: Blend first, then decide if you actually need honey or maple syrup.
  • Keep the base ratio: Banana + yogurt + milk balance gives the best texture.
  • Experiment with add-ins: Almond butter, peanut butter, cacao powder, or chia seeds work great.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate it in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours; shake or blend again before drinking. 🫙
