Super delicious and great for kids who otherwise wouldn’t eat oats. Thank you!

Very delicious, you can taste the Yoghurt. Good as a snack, but too cold for breakfast.
Alicia - Jan. 7, 2025, 4:36 p.m.
This was refreshing and just sweet enough. Subbed chia seeds for the hemp since I didn’t have any.
Virginie - Nov. 5, 2024, 7:15 a.m.
Personally, I find it much too cold for the morning. I will try letting the berries thaw overnight next time.
Ted - Oct. 22, 2024, 7:02 p.m.
Mmm
Stephany - Oct. 22, 2024, 12:28 p.m.
Very nice drink for the mornings.
sol - Oct. 15, 2024, 12:10 p.m.
So delicious! If you use Oatly Greek yogurt I suggest putting slightly less than the recipe in because it’s quite overpowering, but still so tasty!
Dorottya Dankó - Sept. 20, 2024, 8:47 a.m.
I made this smoothie countless times, such an easy, quick, yet delicious breakfast! My blender is not the strongest so it has a hard time blending dates. I tried substituting with some candied cranberries, and it is amazing with that too. Highly recommend!
PUL Team - Sept. 20, 2024, 5:36 p.m.
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the breakfast smoothie, Dorottya!
Anne - Aug. 27, 2024, 11:07 a.m.
Absolutely delicious and so quick to make. I didn't have hemp seed on hand so substituted chia seeds. I will be making this again and again.
Pearl - Aug. 17, 2024, 9:13 a.m.
Yummy! I added a frozen banana and less dates, some vanilla and cinnamon. 😋
Stephany - Oct. 22, 2024, 12:30 p.m.
That is a wonderful idea. I will try that next. Thanks
Malou - Aug. 14, 2024, 9:15 a.m.
Really nice
Michala - Aug. 13, 2024, 8:36 p.m.
My husband drinks this smoothie all the time. It’s very good! The serving size does seem smaller than other smoothie recipes on the app.
Stephanie - Aug. 9, 2024, 6:13 p.m.
Super quick, easy, and delicious! Husband especially liked it. 😊
Natascha Ekdahl - Aug. 6, 2024, 8:56 a.m.
Delicious and easy to make
Reid Wegrecki - July 27, 2024, 6:07 p.m.
Delicious! Had to blend mine for quite a while to get it smooth enough 😅 (I have a ninja smoothie blender).
Cynthia O´Toole - July 19, 2024, 8:48 a.m.
I look forward to trying this recipe, thank you so much Sadia 😘😘
Anja - June 28, 2024, 11:51 a.m.
I made it with blackcurrant. Will try without yoghurt next time. I had to add a lot of extra plant milk.
Ayana Howard - April 19, 2024, 10:27 p.m.
It was really good. It reminds me a bit of an oatmeal raisin cookie as a drink.
Juliana B Torres - April 10, 2024, 9:13 p.m.
I'm now making this recipe around 4 times per week. Definitely one of my favourite. I use this as a pre workout smoothie by adding some protein isolate to the mix.
PUL Team - April 11, 2024, 3:43 a.m.
So happy to hear you're enjoying the smoothie, Juliana!
Nykoel - April 8, 2024, 10:48 p.m.
I really enjoyed the taste of this smoothie but it was much thicker than I prefer. I ended up adding more plant milk and later some water so that I could get it to a consistency that I could easily drink. I would make this again but I would modify the recipe from the start to have more liquid.
Brenda - April 8, 2024, 4:30 a.m.
This tasted amazing! It is still a bit chilly in New York, but I can already anticipate that this will be on heavy rotation when the hot weather rolls around.
PUL Team - April 8, 2024, 4:41 a.m.
So glad that you're enjoying the smoothie, Brenda, and sending lots of love to New York 🥰
Chrysiida - April 3, 2024, 8:17 p.m.
It had been a while since i made a smoothie and i really enjoyed this one! It was really great and because of the oats it was also filling! Usually I don't do blueberries because they are quite expensive here, but I was glad I tried this recipe!
PUL Team - April 4, 2024, 4:48 a.m.
So glad that you enjoyed the smoothie, Chrysiida, thank you! 😊
Martunia - March 25, 2024, 7:44 a.m.
OMG! This has to be the best smoothie of all times!! I truly think this is the best one you guys have come up with. Thank you!! It's great as pre-workout, and it's now going to be my staple 🥰
PUL Team - March 27, 2024, 12:56 a.m.
Such a big compliment, Martunia, thank you! Enjoy the smoothie 😊
jolanta - March 21, 2024, 1:20 p.m.
Delicious smoothie thank u
Nicole Mostofa - March 13, 2024, 11:33 p.m.
Never would have thought of putting oats in a smoothie. Pretty good!
Nicole Mostofa - May 3, 2024, 1:49 p.m.
Second time around did half the amount of date as the recipe called for. I also added two frozen strawberries to substitute for some of the blueberries. It's really nice to fall back on these recipes when I feel like experimenting. Don't know what I will do when my subscription runs out.
PUL Team - May 4, 2024, 6:33 a.m.
Aww so glad you're enjoying experimenting, Nicole, it's so special to hear about your creations! We'd love to welcome you back if you'd like to renew your subscription. We have lots of exciting features and recipes planned 💛
Cassiopeia's Moon - March 10, 2024, 8:09 a.m.
Used Nordic Blueberries (bilberries) instead of blueberries, since that's what we had. Worked really well and the colour became really deep wine colour ❤️
LEYLA Lo - March 7, 2024, 9:50 a.m.
Hello. I make this but the problem was the way to thick then your recipe. Why is that?
PUL Team - March 7, 2024, 7:53 p.m.
Hey Leyla, thanks for sharing your experience with the smoothie! It could be due to the ingredient proportions or differences in our blender efficiency. You can add more plant-based milk, or blend for a longer amount of time for a thinner consistency 🤗
Gliselle Marin - Feb. 21, 2024, 1:43 p.m.
I didn't expect this to be as filling and satisfying as it was. The oats and seeds really made it substantial while the berries kept it yummy!
Jesikah - Feb. 8, 2024, 5:46 p.m.
This smoothie gives me the perfect morning boost. I make it for the whole family. Even my 9-year-old daughter enjoys it. I appreciate that this recipe doesn’t use bananas as the sweetener and thickener. It’s my new favorite smoothie!
PUL Team - Feb. 8, 2024, 8:06 p.m.
Yayy we're so happy that the smoothie is being enjoyed by everyone, Jesikah!
Natalie - Feb. 5, 2024, 10:15 a.m.
Loove the consistency, it's so silky smooth. Also it perfectly balances sweetness and freshness.
Salome V Ingen - Jan. 13, 2024, 8:18 p.m.
So easy to make! Normally not a big fan of dates but it adds such delicious sweetness to this beautiful looking smoothy 🥰
PUL Team - Jan. 14, 2024, 5:04 a.m.
Thank you, Salome V Ingen! 😊
julie - Jan. 3, 2024, 9:37 a.m.
Beautiful and satisfaying! I am trying to go toward more plant based food daily so I am starting with my breakfasts and this one is a keeper ♥️.
PUL Team - Jan. 4, 2024, 12:29 a.m.
Aw how exciting to hear about the breakfasts and that this smoothie was enjoyed! Thanks for welcoming us on you journey with plant foods, Julie 🌱✨
Aileen - Dec. 29, 2023, 3:39 a.m.
Okay, what?!? The ingredients are so simple, but the flavors are phenomenal! I definitely recommend making. Yum!
Stephanie - Dec. 17, 2023, 5:39 p.m.
I am currently looking into light and healthy breakfast recipes with few ingredients :) So I made this smoothie this morning, but with a mix of frozen acaï and raspberries. I also reduced the dates for less sweetness and added a little bit almond butter. Love the community tipps!!! I will surely make it again!
PUL Team - Dec. 18, 2023, 5:25 a.m.
It's so lovely to hear everyones tasty twists on recipes! Thanks a bunch, Stephanie, and so happy that the Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie was enjoyed 🙂✨
Vipul Gupta - Dec. 14, 2023, 1:42 p.m.
Nice recipe. It would be good if you can add a filter/ category especially for gym goers who look for low calorie, high protein and easy to prepare foods all the time. And by high protein I mean around 20-25 gm protein per serving. Also calories per gm of protein should stay low, preferably not exceed the factor of 15 and max 20 (total calories divided by total protein). This can also be clubbed under the foods of weight loss category. Believe me, if you implement it and the word gets out, it would become an instant hit. I would also suggest pre-grouping a few filters together, like putting easy to prepare, low calorie, high protein with around 20 gm protein under gym goers. Just saying.
PUL Team - Dec. 15, 2023, 7:55 a.m.
Thank you for the kind words and suggestion, Vipul! We appreciate your feedback and will consider adding a filter/category for such as low-calorie or grouping filters. In the meantime, in case it helps, you can add the "protein-rich" filter to easy-to-prepare filters such as "10 ingredients or less" 😃
fern - Dec. 6, 2023, 5:01 a.m.
I love this! I make it at least once a week and sometimes supplement the blueberries with other frozen fruit. I know - crazy, right? 😂
Wright - Dec. 4, 2023, 12:14 a.m.
So many great recipes, I find myself making this one most. Quick and delicious, a smoothie without banana (thumbs up!)
Collrane - Dec. 3, 2023, 8:57 p.m.
I love this smoothie recipe!! It’s hard to find a smoothie recipe without banana that’s still creamy and satisfying. I’ve tried the recipe with several different berries and it always hits the spot. I also love adding some peanut butter either in the blender or on top for serving.
PUL Team - Dec. 4, 2023, 4:28 a.m.
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share the review with us, Collrane! Peanut butter is a lovely topping. In case it helps in the future, sometimes zucchini can be used instead of banana to get a creamy texture 🤗
Collran - Dec. 7, 2023, 4:38 a.m.
Thanks for the suggestion!!
Femke - Dec. 2, 2023, 8:25 p.m.
It needed quite a bit of additional liquid to make it drinkable - it was pretty thick - and it didn't keep me full for very long, but it taste great, though.
Samara - Nov. 30, 2023, 9:59 p.m.
I make this all the time! Love it so much!
H. - Nov. 20, 2023, 3:31 p.m.

Line - Nov. 1, 2023, 7:59 a.m.
Very lovely. I should have blended a little longer though. Mine got lumpy.
Suzan - Oct. 28, 2023, 9:37 a.m.
Easy to make and delicious. I used coconut yogurt and oat milk, as I don’t like the taste of soy milk.
Andrea Zimmerman - Oct. 10, 2023, 1:27 p.m.
This one has become a staple in our household!
Zeal Somani - Oct. 9, 2023, 2:04 p.m.
My son loved making this for his breakfast :)
Aubrey - Oct. 6, 2023, 2:14 p.m.
Made this for breakfast! Delicious! I’d recommend grounding the oats if you don’t like the gritty texture of oatmeal. Also cut the dates in pieces, as my blender never crushes the dates well.
Muriel - Oct. 3, 2023, 9:12 a.m.
It‘s so so good! Seriously one of the best smoothie recipes I have come across
Nazia A - Sept. 13, 2023, 7:57 p.m.
I’m not much of a smoothie person, but blueberries are my favourite fruit so I decided to give this a try. Didn’t have dates so I substituted it for 2 tbsp of maple syrup and used coconut yoghurt instead. It is delicious and so refreshing wow!! Next time I need to add coconut flakes on top.
PUL Team - Sept. 13, 2023, 8:22 p.m.
Aww we're so happy the blueberry breakfast smoothie was enjoyed, Nazia, thank you! 😃
Marjanne - Sept. 12, 2023, 10:06 p.m.
Love this smoothie. I didn’t expect it to keep me full for the entire morning but it did. The taste is delicious and easy to make. I prep all the ingredients the night before and in the morning throw it all together in the blender and I can be on my way.
PUL Team - Sept. 13, 2023, 3:47 a.m.
Yayy we're so happy the smoothie is being enjoyed, Marjanne, and love the idea to prep the ingredients the night before! 😃
Tania Allan - Sept. 9, 2023, 1:58 p.m.
Excellent smoothie ☺️ added about 1/2 cup spinach and only used 1 date as I like things a bit less sweet. Delicious!
Leah - Aug. 28, 2023, 4:17 p.m.
This is a nice easy smoothie. I’ve made it a few times in the last week. I didn’t have yogurt so I substituted half a small avocado, which made it very creamy.
What others say
