Creamy, 5-ingredient blueberry smoothie with (or without) oat milk – the perfect easy non-alcoholic drink for a busy morning. Featuring frozen (wild) blueberries, oranges, bananas (or peaches and nectarines), touch of honey and ginger, this morning smoothie can be enjoyed all through summer. Perfect for kids too. Vegetarian, can be vegan.
It’s smoothie season again — hurrah! Time to soak up all that goodness in a glass, one colorful blend at a time.
If you know me (and let’s be honest, you probably don’t… yet), you’ll know I’m a big juice and smoothie fan. Especially in the mornings. They’re a perfect not-so-secret weapon for everything from low energy to PMS. Add a dash of maca powder, a pinch of spirulina, and you’ve got yourself a little magic potion.

For this batch, I used my go-to oat milk — organic, sugar-free, and made with just oats, water, and a tiny bit of salt. I pick mine up from DM, but any clean-label version will do nicely.
INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Oat milk – preferably high quality organic or homemade. Replace with plain freshly squeezed apple or orange juice for most natural version
- Blueberries – frozen wild blueberries work nicely here
- Orange juice – brings extra flavor to the otherwise neutral-tasting oat milk
- Honey – replace with agave nectar or maple syrup
- Bananas – frozen work too, replace with peaches or nectarines
- Ginger – optional
SMOOTHIE PREP Ideas:
Let’s be honest — mornings can be chaos. Some more than others. And that’s where a bit of old-fashioned prep work works its quiet little magic.
Most evenings, I do a quick two-minute setup: smoothie maker on the counter, ingredients laid out beside it (minus anything that lives in the fridge or freezer), plus the cups, bottles, and straws we’ll be using. If I’m making homemade nut or oat milk, I’ll prep that the night before too and pop it in the fridge.
It might sound a tad over the top, but trust me — it’s made mornings feel less like a scramble and more like a soft start. And if it buys me ten extra snuggly minutes with my boys? Totally worth it.
MAKE IT VEGAN: If you want to make this smoothie vegan, simply replace the honey in the recipe with maple syrup or agave nectar.
MAKE IT CREAMIER: Recipe seems to light to you, no worries, Just add a half (or whole) banana to the mix. I prefer using frozen bananas as they are much thicker than the non-frozen. If you want to avoid using banana in your smoothie, grab some Greek Yogurt and add to the mix. A spoon or 2 will do. Just be prepared for the slightly sour-y flavor that’s coming from the Yogurt.
