Servings 6 smoothies
Calories 284kcal
Equipment
- Vitamix Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 64 oz. Low-Profile Container, Black (Renewed)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 6 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
- 3 scoops plant-based vanilla protein powder
- 6 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 cup almond milk per smoothie
- 1-2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup per smoothie
- 5-7 ice cubes optional
Instructions
- Divide rolled oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, and protein powder among 6 16-ounce glass jars.
- Top each jar with a cup of frozen mixed berries.
- Place a lid on each jar and freeze for up to 30 days.
- When you're ready to enjoy your smoothie, remove jar from the freezer and run under warm water for a minute or so to begin to thaw just the edges of the berries and the smoothie base. This just makes it easier to pour.
- Dump all contents of the jar into a high-powered blender jar. Pour about 1/2 a cup of almond milk (or milk of choice) into jar and swish it around to get anything you may have missed. Pour into the blender jar.
- Top with 1-2 Tablespoons of maple syrup, ice cubes if you're opting for a thicker and colder smoothie, and blender on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Depending on how thick of a smoothie you like, if you're using a Vitamix, the damper stick really comes in handy here.
- Once your smoothie is completely blended, taste for sweetness, and add more syrup if necessary. Otherwise, pour back into the jar you originally used or another glass, and enjoy!
