Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Paring knife
  • Wide-mouth mason jars - for storing leftovers or freezer packs
  • Silicone ice cube tray - for freezing extra yogurt or smoothie portions (optional)
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 banana - ripe, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries - 150g, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries work well
  • 1 cup milk - 240ml, or use unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free version
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt - 120g
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats - 45g
  • 1 tablespoon honey - or maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds - optional, adds fiber and a thicker texture
  • 1 cup fresh spinach - 30g, optional, for a hidden veggie boost
  • 4 ice cubes - to 5, optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie

Instructions
 

  • Peel the banana and break it into chunks. Add it to the blender pitcher along with the frozen mixed berries.
  • Pour the milk into the blender on top of the fruit, then add the Greek yogurt.
  • Sprinkle in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and spinach if using, then drizzle in the honey.
  • Secure the lid and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, scraping down the sides and blending again until completely smooth.
  • Add a splash more milk if too thick, or a few ice cubes if too thin, then blend briefly and taste for sweetness.
  • Pour into glasses or mason jars and serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.

Notes

  • Use a very ripe, spotty banana for natural sweetness instead of relying only on honey.
  • Freeze banana chunks ahead of time so you don't need as much ice, which keeps the smoothie from getting watery.
  • Add spinach gradually the first few times, since too much at once can overpower the fruit flavor.
  • Blend the liquid and yogurt for a few seconds before adding the oats to avoid a gritty texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and re-blend or shake before drinking.
  • Freeze portions in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the fridge before re-blending.
  • Avoid storing smoothies with spinach for longer than 24 hours, since the color and flavor fade quickly.
  • Swap the berries for frozen pineapple and mango with coconut milk for a tropical version.
  • Add a tablespoon of peanut butter for a richer, nuttier flavor.
  • Use coconut yogurt and almond or oat milk in place of dairy for a dairy-free version.
