BLUEBERRY BANANA OATMEAL SMOOTHIE IN A MASON JAR Recipes

Smoothie-making has always felt like such a PRODUCTION to me. My blender is usually in the back of the cabinet. There are lots of pieces to it and cleaning it is a pain and by the time I have it all out and ready to go I’m completely over the entire idea of the smoothie.

BUT.

I recently realized I could use my immersion blender and a mason jar for quick and easy smoothie-making with very little cleanup and I am now officially on the smoothie train.

This blueberry banana oatmeal smoothie has been a constant this summer because I pretty much always have the ingredients on hand: frozen blueberries, bananas, greek yogurt, milk, and oatmeal.

You can definitely use frozen bananas too, but I find my immersion blender is happier with fresh bananas. If you are fancy and on top of things and using a regular blender to whip up your early morning smoothie before you head out for a three mile run then feel free to use whatever temperature banana you have on hand.

I am neither fancy nor on top of things, so I’m sticking with my immersion blender + mason jar very late morning or early afternoon smoothies.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• ½ cup Milk
• ¾ cup Frozen blueberries
• 1 Banana
• ⅓ cup Oatmeal

INSTRUCTIONS

1. If using an immersion blender, layer your ingredients in a mason jar in this order: greek yogurt, banana, blueberries, milk and blend. Once blended, add oatmeal and blend just until combined.
2. You can also combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth-ie.. 🙂
3. Enjoy!
