Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: fresh blackberries, creamy peanut butter, rolled oats, milk (dairy or plant-based), honey, and ice cubes.
- Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Add the rolled oats to a blender first to create a fine powder, which will help create a smoother texture.
- Add the fresh blackberries to the blender, ensuring they are ripe and at room temperature for maximum flavor.
- Measure and pour 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the blender for richness and protein.
- Pour in 1 cup of cold milk, which will help create the desired smoothie consistency.
- Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of honey for natural sweetness and additional flavor complexity.
- Add 4-5 ice cubes to create a chilled and refreshing smoothie.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until all ingredients are completely smooth and well combined.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more milk. If too thin, add more ice or oats.
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, optionally garnish with a few whole blackberries or a sprinkle of rolled oats on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the nutritious and delicious smoothie.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Blackberries: For the best flavor, select fresh, ripe blackberries that are plump and deep purple. They should be sweet and juicy, enhancing the overall taste of your smoothie.
- Blend in Stages: To achieve a smoother texture, start by blending the rolled oats first until they become a fine powder. This helps to eliminate any graininess in your smoothie.
- Adjust Consistency: If you find your smoothie too thick after blending, simply add a splash more milk. Conversely, if it’s too thin, throw in a few more ice cubes or oats to thicken it up.
- Experiment with Sweetness: The amount of honey can be adjusted based on your taste preference and the sweetness of the blackberries. Feel free to taste and tweak as you blend!
- Garnish for Presentation: For an extra touch, garnish your smoothie with a few whole blackberries or a sprinkle of rolled oats on top before serving. It makes for a beautiful presentation!
- Make it Your Own: Don’t hesitate to customize this recipe! You can add a scoop of protein powder, a banana for extra creaminess, or even a handful of spinach for a boost of greens.
