Fresh, fast and fabulous!Â
Â
Good morning everyone! I wanted to give something a try on Sundays called Smoothie Sundays. Â Each Sunday I am going to try to post a new smoothie for you to give a try the following week. Â Sound like fun?
Once the weather starts warming up,  I love serving my family smoothies. They make for a powerful breakfast and are the perfect snack. These miracle drinks are fast, fresh, high in fiber, low in fat and loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. So awesome…. right?
So for our first Smoothie Sunday, I thought I would bring you one of our favorite breakfast drinks. The BOSS! (Â Blueberry Oatmeal Super Smoothie ) It’s super easy, packed with fresh fruit, veg and protein. YAY!
Note: If you do not have frozen fruit to use for the smoothies, fresh fruit will work just fine. If using fresh fruit, make sure to add a handful of ice to the other ingredients before blending. The frozen fruit just adds that cold element to make an ice cold drink.Â
Let’s get this Smoothie Sunday started!

Your recipe for this Smoothie sounds delicious!
Im looking for a new Blender, how do you like the Cuisinart CPB-300 SmartPower Blender?
Corey says
I LOOOOOVE it! Use it almost everyday. The clean up is so easy and it’s perfect for smoothies, ice coffees, and milkshakes! The best part is you can easily store it away in a cabinet. Oh, and the individual blender cups are amazing. I can make individual smoothies quickly, adding more kale to mine and more fruit for the kid’s drinks. Let me know if you get it and love it!
Beth says
Can I use quick oats? Or does it need to be fashioned oats? If not the quick kind can I use street curt oats?
Corey says
I used quick oats, but old fashioned would also work. I have never used steel cut oats in a smoothie 🙂 I hope that helps!
Rose Alvarado says
I have hated oatmeal since I was a little girl–and never have dared to try it.
However I am willing to try a couple of the smoothies. Wish me luck.
Corey says
Good Luck Rose! 🙂
Gargi Patel says
I an new to eating oats. I have rolled oats in my pantry, can I use that? Isn’t it raw, can I add/eat it without baking it, in general for other breakfast recipes?
Corey says
yes you can used rolled oats 🙂 Just throw them in raw 🙂
Lydia @ The Thrifty Frugal Mom says
Never thought of throwing oatmeal into a smoothie. Brilliant! We drink a lot of smoothies and I can’t wait to try it.
Corey says
I hope you love it Lydia!

I absolutely LOVE this!!! I’ve tried it two different way, the way you have listed and then I removed the Kale and added a little bit of vanilla. It tasted like a blueberry muffin.
