I created this smoothie recently with some ingredients I had in my fridge and pantry. I call it a blurange banana smoothie. One tip before you get started regards freezing bananas. Frozen bananas make a great addition to smoothies. They add flavor and serve as a substitute for ice, which can water down an otherwise delicious frosty beverage. Whenever I have bananas that are too mushy to each, I chop them into halves and freeze them. That way, I always have frozen bananas when I need them. 

Ingredients 

  • ¼ c. old fashioned oats
  • 1 frozen banana 
  • 1 c. oat or nut milk (you can also do ½ c. milk and ½ c. cold water)
  • 1 orange 
  • ½ c. blueberries
  • 1 tsp. hemp seeds (can also use ground flax, chia seeds, or another seed)

Directions 

  • Place oats in a blender or bullet mixer and ground to a fine powder 
  • Add remaining ingredients
  • Blend until smooth
