Ingredients

½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen
½ banana
1 cup oat milk
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
2 tablespoon oats
1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
Handful of ice cubes optional
Sweetener (optional): Maple syrup, honey or dates, to taste
Toppings: dark chocolate, cacao nibs, hemp seeds.

Instructions

Add all ingredients in the blender. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending. Also, add in ice cubes, if using.
Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth silky texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until everything is well combined.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if the smoothie is not sweet enough. I recommend using 1-2 soaked dates, date syrup, raw honey or maple syrup, stevia, or any low-carb sweetener. This is totally based on your preference.
Transfer the smoothie into a tall glass.
ADD TOPPINGS: I used hemp seeds and cacao nibs. Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Makes 1 cup that serves 1 person (full meal) or 2 servings as a snack.

As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml). Nutrition values are calculated without added toppings.

Substitutions

Substitute oat milk with any plant-based milk except coconut milk. Cow's milk is fine.
Substitute hemp seeds with ground flax seeds or chia seeds.
Use the whole banana if you're not on a restricted-calorie diet or if you making this smoothie for kids. I used only half to cut down calories.
Substitute banana with soaked dates, date syrup, maple syrup, or raw honey.
MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE: Make sure you use certified gluten-free oats.
You can add a scoop of protein powder. This will transform a smoothie into a great post-workout shake.

Store in a glass jar with a lid or shaker and keep refrigerated for up to one day.
