Measure the almond base
Measure the almond milk, oats, protein powder, almond butter and cinnamon. Separate any blueberries frozen into a solid clump.
Your cue: Stir separated almond butter in its jar before measuring it.
Blend · about 15 sec
Disperse the powder
Pour milk into the jug, then add oats and protein. Secure the lid and blend on low for about 15 seconds.
Your cue: The powder should be fully wet, with no dry ring around the jug.
Blend · about 45 sec
Turn it purple
Stop and add blueberries, almond butter and cinnamon. Blend for about 45 seconds, starting low and increasing the speed. Add a splash of milk if needed for circulation.
Your cue: The mixture should be evenly purple, with no large frozen berries.
Check & pour
Stop the blender and check the texture with a spoon. Pour into a glass; reserve a few blueberries from the measured portion if you want a simple topping.
Your cue: Fine dark flecks from blueberry skins are expected.
The finish line
Here’s what you’re aiming for.
A creamy purple smoothie with fine blueberry-skin flecks and a soft almond finish.
Too thick, thin or grainy?Blending times are starting points; use the texture cues and your blender’s instructions. Loading order is for a typical upright jug. Switch off before scraping or tasting, and never put utensils into moving blades.
Pro tips
- Frozen blueberries are cheaper and blend thicker than fresh. No ice needed.
- A pinch of lemon zest brightens the flavor and makes the blueberry taste more like the fruit than the muffin.
Frequently asked questions
