A quick and easy healthy blueberry muffin smoothie

There's nothing better than starting the day with a cold and refreshing smoothie that's just as healthy as it is delicious. This blueberry muffin smoothie packs 5 ingredients into one drink, supplying protein, nutrients, and immense flavor along the way.

And if you find yourself wondering "how can I make this blueberry muffin smoothie vegan," you're in luck. It's already vegan! By using almond milk and skipping yogurt, we're able to ditch dairy for a totally animal product-free meal.

Ingredients in this blueberry muffin smoothie

I love adding rolled oats to smoothies for some extra density and protein. You're going to love the oats when paired with the other ingredients. It tastes like a total treat! Here's everything you'll need:

• Blueberries: You can't have a blueberry smoothie without blueberries! This recipe begins with 1 cup, frozen.
• Rolled oats: Thicken up the smoothie with ½ cup of rolled oats.
• Almond butter: Then, add 2 tablespoon of almond butter for flavor and texture.
• Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon of chia seeds helps to make a denser smoothie and also sneaks in a bit of protein.
• Almond milk: For the liquid component, use 1 cup of almond milk.
• Protein powder: Last but not least, optionally add ¼ cup of your favorite vanilla protein powder. This will also make the smoothie a tad sweeter!
