Strawberry Banana Kiwi & Oat Breakfast Smoothie
This healthy smoothie is loaded with vitamins and nutrients and contains zero sugar added. It will make for a perfect start to your day and fill you with energy.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon oats
- 1 banana
- 1 kiwi
- 5 tablespoon blended strawberries (or a handful of fresh strawberries)
- 7 fl oz (205 mL) milk (we used almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon hemp seed powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits and Berries: Wash the fruits and berries thoroughly under cold running water. If you're using fresh fruits, remove any stems, pits, or seeds. For frozen fruits, you can use them directly from the freezer.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a blender, add all the ingredients. You can also add the sweetener at this stage if desired.
- Blend Until Smooth: Cover the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker and more refreshing smoothie on a hot summer day, you can add some ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes
- To make your smoothie thicker, use frozen fruits and berries, and reduce the amount of milk.
- If your blender is struggling to blend the ingredients, you can stop and shake it gently or use a spatula to help incorporate the ingredients before blending again. However, with the indicated amounts of ingredients, it is very unlikely that you'll have any trouble with blending.
- If you want a creamier smoothie, include yogurt as well.
- If you made extra, you can store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for a short period, but it's best to consume smoothies fresh.
