What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1.5 cups unsweetened oat milk
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1 medium ripe banana frozen
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
Make sure your banana and mixed berries are frozen ahead of time as frozen fruit is the key to a thick creamy smoothie that has the perfect milkshake like consistency kids love.
Step 2: Add to Blender
Pour the oat milk into the blender first followed by the honey and vanilla extract, then add the frozen banana broken into chunks and the frozen mixed berries on top.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth with no fruit chunks remaining, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
Step 4: Pour and Serve
Pour the smoothie immediately into two glasses and serve with reusable straws, letting kids add their favorite toppings like a sprinkle of granola or a few fresh berries on top.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- frozen mixed berries → frozen mango and pineapple for a tropical version kids love
- honey → maple syrup or two pitted Medjool dates for a refined sugar free option
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using fresh instead of frozen fruit results in a thin watery smoothie that kids find less appealing
- Adding liquid before fruit causes the fruit to not blend smoothly and leaves chunks behind
