    • Honey

    Variations

    • You can add a handful of other berries like strawberry or blueberry to slightly change up the flavor.
    • Add 1 tablespoon of unflavored protein powder to make this more filling.
    • You can add 1 ripe banana in this recipe and that will add sweetness as well as more creaminess.
    • I use milk in this recipe but I have seen other recipes, which call for coconut water. I tried it but found the consistency to be too thin and didn't like it at all.
    • If you want to make a vegan version, make sure to use vegan yogurt and vegan milk (soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk).
    • Try other sweeteners such as maple syrup or agave syrup or brown sugar.
    • If you are not fond of the chunky oat texture, you can reduce the quantity to your liking.
    • Add extracts to change up the flavor profile.
    • For additional blackberry flavor, use blackberry flavored yogurt, if you can find it. I feel like it's a flavor that's not always available at grocery stores.

    Tips and techniques

    • Use fresh blackberries since they have so much more flavor but if you can't get your hands on them, frozen ones will work well too.
    • I like to use THIS BLENDER all the time. I use it for all my smoothies and even use it to make purees for savory recipes. It's strong and awesome!

    Recipe FAQs

    How to sweeten smoothies? Why is my smoothie so thick and chunky?

    Storage

    • Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 day. It will become thicker and you will need to mix it again with additional milk.

      Sounds delicious. What kind of oats do you use?

        Thanks! I use quick cooking oats in smoothies. It just mixes into the drink faster than the original rolled oats.

      This was great!  I guesstimated the ice to be 6 cubes and it was thin.  Next time I’ll use 4 cubes. 5 stars
