Making a healthy and delicious smoothie is easy with just a few simple ingredients. This strawberry blueberry smoothie is made with fresh fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and honey for a quick and satisfying snack or breakfast.

This recipe really reminds me of one of our favorite smoothies at Smoothie King, but it’s so easy to make at home… shhh, don’t tell them that!

Why We Love This Berry Smoothie Recipe

We are huge fans of smoothies in our house and constantly trying out new recipes. My boys love berries and fruit smoothies, so we decided to put the berries we had in the house to good use and blend up a smoothie!

Strawberries and blueberries are common smoothie fruits, but we also added in a third berry for an amazing flavor and health benefits – cranberries!

You may see these in stores around Thanksgiving in the US, but they are really amazing for you and they give a unique flavor to this delicious smoothie.

The Greek yogurt and oats help to keep you full until lunchtime, so this is really a perfect breakfast smoothie or even a quick snack. It’s all-natural, gluten free (if you use certified gluten free oats) and has no added sugar. If you sub the Greek yogurt for a plant-based version (like we do for our son with a dairy allergy), then it’s dairy free, too!

Ingredients in This Healthy Smoothie Recipe

Strawberry

The health benefits of strawberries are many! They are a great source of antioxidants, vitamin C, potassium and fiber.

Strawberries are also a good source of folate and vitamin B6, which are important for pregnant women. Fiber is important for digestive health, and strawberries are a good source of the dietary fiber that so many Americans are lacking.

Potassium is an important mineral for muscle function and nerve transmission. Antioxidants help to protect the body from harmful toxins and free radicals. Vitamin C is important for immune health, and strawberries are full of it.

Use fresh strawberries in this if you have them. If you only have frozen strawberries, it’s fine to use frozen strawberry, but keep in mind you might need to add some milk, water, or juice to get the blender going.

Blueberry

Blueberries are a rich source of antioxidants, which can help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative damage. They are also high in vitamins C and E, both of which are essential for healthy skin.

Smoothies are a great way to consume blueberries, as they are easy to digest and provide a range of nutrients. The yogurt and oatmeal in this recipe also make it a filling breakfast or snack option.

Use fresh blueberries here, too, if you have them. Again, if frozen blueberries are used you might need to add a bit of liquid to your blender.

Cranberry

Cranberries are a tart and tangy fruit that are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They are also a good source of fiber, which can help to regulate digestion. Cranberries work well in smoothies because they balance out the sweetness of other fruits, and they also add a boost of nutrients.

Use fresh cranberries if possible, but since they don’t seem to be available year-round, frozen works, too.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a thick and creamy yogurt that is packed with protein, calcium and other essential nutrients. It is a great addition to smoothies because it adds creaminess, thickness and a boost of protein.

Protein is an important nutrient for building and maintaining muscle mass. Greek yogurt is a good source of protein, making it a perfect addition to a smoothie for athletes or anyone looking to increase their protein intake. Protein has also been shown to help with weight loss.

Calcium is important for bone health, and Greek yogurt is a good source of calcium. In addition to calcium, Greek yogurt is also a good source of phosphorus and vitamin D, which are both important for bone health.

Adding Greek yogurt to your smoothie is an easy way to get these essential nutrients in your diet. It also adds creaminess and thickness, making your smoothie more satisfying.

Just look for yogurts that do not have added sugars.

Oats

Adding oats to your smoothie gives it a boost of fiber and healthy carbohydrates. Oats are also a good source of plant-based protein, making them a great addition to smoothies for vegetarians or vegans.

Oats contain beta-glucan, which is a type of dietary fiber that can help to lower cholesterol levels and improve blood sugar control. They are also a good source of B vitamins, which are important for energy production and metabolism.

Adding oats to your smoothie is an easy way to get more plant-based protein, fiber and nutrients into your diet, and they can help you feel full for longer.

Use rolled oats or steel-cut oats, not instant oatmeal packets.

Honey

Honey adds sweetness and flavor to the smoothie, and is a great way to sweeten it without using processed sugars. It also has some health benefits, as it contains antioxidants that can help protect the body from free radical damage.

Honey also has antibacterial properties, which can help to support your immune system. It has been used for centuries to treat colds and other illnesses.

Adding a bit of honey to your smoothie is an easy way to sweeten it without using processed sugars, and you can also enjoy the health benefits of this natural sweetener. You can also sub agave nectar or maple syrup.

Now that you have all the ingredients, let’s get blending!

How to Make a Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

One of the best things about smoothies is how easy they are to make!

To blend up this simple smoothie recipe, just add your yogurt or milk to the bottom of the blender (this will help it blend better), then add the fruit and oats and honey (if using).

Blend on high speed until smooth, adding a bit of liquid if needed to get the blender going. If using frozen fruit you will need a splash of milk, water or juice because the mixture will be so thick.

It’s okay to use almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, dairy milk, coconut water, juice, or any other liquid you prefer for ease of blending.

How to Customize Our Easy Smoothie

Add greens: Throw in a handful of kale, spinach, or swiss chard. These will add a nutrient boost that is very low in calories and fat. Plus, mild greens will hide with all the fruit flavors of this smoothie.

Add protein powder: For an extra boost of protein, add in your favorite kind of protein powder. Whey and plant-based proteins are the most common but you can get creative with collagen peptides or even a nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter.

Replace the yogurt: If you want to make this smoothie dairy-free, replace the yogurt with almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk, or use a plant-based yogurt. This will give it a thinner texture but will still be delicious. There are some plant-based Greek yogurts on the market now that can give a thicker texture like the original, just be careful of the added sugar. If I do this for my son, I look for a vanilla yogurt.

Add spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom can really bring out the flavor of this smoothie. You don’t need a lot – just a pinch of one or two will do the trick.

Change up the fruit: Mix and match with whatever fruits you have on hand – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mangoes and bananas all work great in smoothies. You can use a frozen berry or mixed berry blend, which is really delicoius and then you can add these instead of all three berries mentioned above. I also like to throw in a frozen banana for a strawberry blueberry banana smoothie, or you can replace the blueberries with a banana for a strawberry banana smoothie.

Add superfoods: Throw in some super foods such as chia seed, hemp seed or flax seed. You can also use supergreens powders, matcha, maca powder or others.

Make it a smoothie bowl: This smoothie is wonderfully rich and thick as written, so if you like, pour your smoothie into a bowl, top with delicious chia seeds, sliced fruit, nuts, or fresh berries and enjoy!
