Wild Blueberry Muffin Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen wild blueberries (they have the best flavor!)
• 2 large Medjool dates, pitted and softened if necessary
• 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt (plain also works but vanilla has better flavor!)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
• 1/4 cup rolled oats, gluten free if desired
• 2/3 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk (or sub any milk of choice!)
• Optional add-ins:
• 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of choice

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a high powered blender: blueberries, dates, yogurt, flaxseed meal, hemp hearts, rolled oats and milk. Feel free to add any optional add-ins to your smoothie if you’d like. Blend until smooth, adding more milk to thin, if necessary. Pour into a glass and enjoy! Serves 1. Feel free to double the recipe to serve 2.

Recipe Notes

1. You may need to soften your dates: to do so soak your pitted dates in 1 cup of very warm water for at least 5 minutes. This will help them soften up and be perfect for blending.
2. While the dates are soaking you can get all your other ingredients out, measured and ready.
