Here’s another color to consider, along with a perfect smoothie recipe!
If your color choice is pretty purple, then you’ll really enjoy this Vanilla, Blackberry, Oat and Almond Milk Smoothie.
Blackberries are both tart and sweet. They’re moody, and I respect that. I paired blackberries with a vanilla goat’s milk yogurt, and oat flour. Oat flour is made by placing old-fashioned oats in a small spice grinder until pulverized into a powder. It helps make me feel full and totally eases any belly unrest. An extra kick of vanilla from the almond milk, and pure vanilla extract really bring home the vanilla and berry theme.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make a large Vanilla, Blackberry, Oat and Almond Milk Smoothie:
1 banana, sliced into chunks, frozen is ideal
1 heaping cup frozen blackberries
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I used goat’s milk yogurt)
1 cup Almond Milk
2 tablespoons oat flour (old-fashioned oats ground in a spice grinder)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
The preparation instructions are simple:
1. In a blender, combine banana, blackberries, yogurt, almond milk, oat flour, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
2. Add more almond milk if the smoothie is too thick for your taste.
3. Enjoy immediately.
