    Ingredients

    The key to making a blueberry spinach smoothie an enjoyable treat is to add other flavorful ingredients that help make it delicious! When combined, these ingredients make a smoothie that is reminiscent of a tasty cobbler. You'll need:

    • Coconut milk. Rich, coconut milk (the kind that comes refrigerated in a carton, not a can) makes this smoothie taste decadent. Almond milk, oat milk or your favorite milk also works well.
    • Cinnamon. Cinnamon adds that fresh baked good flavor while also providing blood sugar-lowering properties!
    • Ginger. Fabulous for the immune system and full of flavor, ginger is a great addition to smoothies.
    • Spinach. Rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin E and magnesium, a handful of greens is a no-brainer as an add-in!
    • Blueberries. Blueberries are an antioxidant-rich "superfood" with tons of benefits.
    • Dates. A good source of iron with a pleasant sweetness, dates are a great way to sweeten smoothies and baked goods.
    • Rolled oats. Adding fiber like oats to smoothies can make them more filling and satisfying and contain plant-based protein.
    • Walnuts. Walnuts and many other nuts contain good-for-you omega-3 fats and antioxidants.
    • Ice. Adding ice to your smoothie will thicken it up while chilling the mixture. Plus, extra hydration!

    Instructions

    As is the case with most smoothies, this smoothie comes together in no time at all!

    If you're using dates as as a sweetener and are not using a high speed blender you may want to take the extra step of soaking the dates in warm water for 10 minutes before making the smoothie in order to soften them and make them more easy to blend. If you want to skip this step, I suggest using honey or maple syrup as a sweetener instead.

    Additionally, oats may be soaked in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using in your smoothie if you prefer a silkier texture.

    Otherwise, place the ingredients in a high speed blender in the recommended order (liquids, softer ingredients, then crunchy bits and ice) and blend until completely smooth.

    This smoothie is great for breakfast, snack, dessert or on-the-go!

    FAQ's

    Can I use frozen blueberries in my smoothie?

    Sure! Fresh or frozen blueberries both work great in a smoothie.

    Should I soak my oats before blending them in a smoothie?

    That's up to you! There's nothing raw with using dry, raw oats in a smoothie, but if you prefer a less gritty, smoother texture you may want to soak them in warm water for up to an hour before adding to your smoothie.

    Do I have to soak my dates?

    No, not necessarily! If you have a high-speed blender, then the dates should process just fine. Soaking just softens the dates to be sure that they're fully blended into the smoothie so that you don't suck down date bits.

    Are rolled oats gluten free?

    Pure oats themselves are naturally gluten-free. However, oats may be processed in a facility where they can come into contact with wheat and other products containing gluten. If you have celiac disease or need to avoid gluten for reasons relating to allergies, then it's best to buy certified gluten-free oats to ensure that they have not been contaminated.

    Variations & Substitutions

    This blueberry spinach smoothie recipe can be tweaked in many different ways to suit your dietary needs and preferences!

    • Add a dash of vanilla extract for an extra hint of cobbler-eque flavor.
    • Throw in a little lemon zest. Lemon and blueberry are a great pair!
    • Blend in a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an added protein boost.
    • Use your favorite collagen peptides for a dose of hair, nail, skin, join & ligament support. (Note: Collagen peptides are an animal product, so the smoothie will not be vegan unless you use a plant-based version.)

    Diet Specific Substitutions

    Gluten-Free: While oats are naturally gluten-free, you may want to make sure to purchase a brand that is certified gluten-free if you have celiac or other gluten allergies.
