The colour of this Blueberry Banana Smoothie is so on brand! 😍

Like my Banana Smoothie, this has been a go-to smoothie recipe for me for years because I almost always have a banana and some frozen blueberries on hand.

I'd never thought to share it though, and it took a viral TV show where they make a blueberry banana smoothie called the Blue Moon Over Brooklyn to remind me that I really should add this one to my ever-growing list of vegan smoothie recipes.

This vibrant, healthy smoothie contains 15 grams of protein when made with soy milk and is filling thanks to the oats, which, along with the vanilla, give it an oatmeal muffin kind of vibe. It reminds me of my banana oatmeal blueberry muffins!

P.S. Bonus points for the loons that "get" my show reference! 😜
Note that this is not the same as the smoothie Kip makes. He also adds spinach and pineapple, and my smoothie is such a beautiful purple colour that I didn't want to muddy it up with spinach, but feel free to throw some in if you're not bothered about your smoothie being pretty!

Ingredients

Here is what you need at a glance, along with some important ingredient notes & substitution ideas:

banana, cinnamon, blueberries, flax seed, oats, dairy-free milk, vanilla, date

Banana - A fresh, not frozen banana (unless you're using fresh blueberries).
Blueberries - These should be frozen. If you only have fresh blueberries, you will need to use a frozen banana.
Note that you can use frozen blueberries and frozen banana if that's all you've got, but you will need to add more milk to compensate, as they will make the smoothie thicker.
Oats - Rolled, old-fashioned or quick oats. These thicken your smoothie and make it more filling.
Dairy-free milk - Soy milk is always my go-to for smoothies because it is so much higher in protein than other dairy-free milks. If the protein content isn't something you're worried about, then feel free to use any dairy-free milk you like.
Flax/chia seeds - For healthy fats. Use either or add both. Or use any other nuts or seeds instead. A tablespoon of nut or seed butter is good instead or omit completely.
Spices - Cinnamon and vanilla for flavour. Cardamom works well instead of cinnamon.
Date - I always add a medjool date to my smoothies because I have a sweet tooth. You could use a tablespoon of maple syrup instead, or omit it if you feel the smoothie is already sweet enough.
