Simple Berry Cobbler Smoothie Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries) |
| 1/2 cup | yogurt (vanilla works best, but plain would suffice) |
| 1 packet | instant oatmeal |
| 1/2 cup | milk (or vegan milk substitute) |
| 1 pinch | cinnamon |
| 1 pinch | nutmeg |
Simple Berry Cobbler Smoothie Instructions
Add milk and instant oatmeal. Add spices. Add yogurt, then berries. Blend until smooth.
Notes: Our first attempt used maple and brown syrup flavored instant oatmeal. The result was pleasant, but too sweet for our tastes. Unflavored instant oatmeal helped the cinnamon and nutmeg to stand out.
For a thicker smoothie, add another packet of instant oatmeal or half a cup of rolled oats.
Tips
No instant oatmeal packets in the pantry? Half a cup of rolled oats plus a pinch of extra cinnamon and nutmeg gets you close to the same flavor and thickness. This recipe is already easy to make dairy free, since it calls for a vegan milk substitute; pair that with a dairy-free yogurt and it works for everyone at the table.
Because of the oats, this smoothie keeps thickening the longer it sits, even in the fridge. It is best blended fresh, but if you make it ahead, plan on stirring in a splash of milk before serving to bring it back to a drinkable consistency. We do not recommend freezing it, since the oats turn gummy after thawing.
Makes about two cups.
