Steps

1. 1

   Add the rolled oats to the blender and pulse a few times to break them down slightly for smoother texture.

2. 2

   Add the fresh blueberries, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract to the blender.

3. 3

   Add ice cubes if using, to chill the smoothie and add thickness.

4. 4

   Blend all ingredients on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Check the consistency and sweetness; add more milk if too thick or extra honey if desired, then blend again briefly.

6. 6

   Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Tips from the chef

• Use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats for better texture and nutrition.

• If you prefer a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup.

• For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder before blending.

• Frozen blueberries can be used instead of fresh; reduce or omit ice cubes accordingly.

• Soaking the oats for 10 minutes before blending can make the smoothie even smoother and easier to digest.
