My wild blueberry oatmeal smoothie is my daily breakfast of choice! It is delicious, nutritious, and super filling. My son and I share this smoothie every morning and it never gets old. It reminds me of a blueberry muffin which is such a treat considering that it is packed with spinach, oatmeal, flaxseed meal, and tons of healthy fats!
Smoothies are a super popular breakfast choice for the spring and summertime, but my family and I love to enjoy them year-round. This is also one of the few recipes that I can make that my picky eater loves (and I love it too because he is getting tons of good nutrients in his belly and he thinks it's just a milkshake!)
I love using blueberries in all kinds of recipes. If you are looking for more of my blueberry recipe ideas, try my lemon blueberry cookies and my lemon blueberry mascarpone cake!

Ingredients
- Quick oats (old-fashioned oats work well too)
- Wild blueberries (frozen)
- Banana (frozen)
- Spinach (frozen or fresh)
- Ice
- Flaxseed meal
- Cinnamon
- Protein powder of choice
- Almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
- Milk of choice (I prefer whole milk in smoothies)
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for the protein powder to a high-speed blender (oats, frozen blueberries, a frozen banana, fresh or frozen spinach, ice, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, almond butter, and milk). Blend starting at a low speed and gradually work your way up to a medium speed while mixing with a tamper. I never find that I need to go up to full speed for smoothies.
- When the smoothie is blended and smooth, add in the protein powder and blend again until combined.
- Pour into one large (20-32 ounce) jar or two smaller jars or glasses. Enjoy!
Substitutions
- Whole milk - use any milk of your choice.
- Quick oats - Use old-fashioned oats.
- Almond Butter - Use any nut butter of your choice.
- Flaxseed meal - try chia seeds instead! The texture is slightly more noticeable than flax, but still subtle and packed with nutrients!
Variations
- Crunchy - Add granola instead of oatmeal or stir it into the prepared smoothie.
- Kid-friendly - Add chocolate chips.
Equipment
- A high-speed blender (I love my Vitamix)
- A cup or jar of choice
Storage
Consume immediately (does not refrigerate well)
Top tip
Add the protein powder in last (after everything else has been blended), especially if you are using whey protein powder as I find that protein powders get a bit gummy in they are over blended and I don't love that consistency.
FAQ
Yes! Just use any non-dairy milk. My favorite is full-fat oatly.
