save this recipe!Smoothies are one of those things I lean heavily on when life is extra busy. One that is always in the rotation is mixed berry smoothies because what do we all have in the back of our freezer? Frozen berries!
These give any smoothie the perfect thick, frosty consistency without watering it down. Paired with sweet plums and oats, this smoothie tastes like it belongs on your holiday table except in drink form. And you can take it to go – how fun is that?!
a crave-able smoothie
- 5 Minutes: Like most smoothies, this one takes very minimal time or effort. And no, you don’t need to peel the plum.
- Frozen fruit: This is the key to the best vegetarian smoothie texture. It also makes it easier to meal prep or store without it becoming watered down by ice.
- Kid-Approved: With all the dessert-like flavors of a cobbler, like cinnamon and cloves, your little one will be asking for seconds.
Here’s what you’ll need
I’m guessing you already have everything you need to make this smoothie! Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements.
- Plums: These add sweetness and a creamy texture. Keep the skin on for extra fiber!
- Frozen Blueberries: These add a frosty texture and sweetness. Plus, blueberries are high in antioxidants. Fresh will work, but be sure to use at least one frozen fruit.
- Banana: We’ll need 1 banana to add more natural sweetness and a creamy texture. This is a perfect way to use up any extra brown bananas on the counter. The more brown and speckled the banana, the sweeter it is.
- Rolled Oats: While I use rolled oats, instant oats will work too. These add fiber and help bulk up the smoothie.
- Spices: Grab cinnamon and ground cloves to add warming flavors.
- Honey: You can add this for additional sweetness, but it’s totally optional.
Oats are the star of the show
While oats are a staple ingredient in any cobbler, they are also incredibly healthy for you. They are filled with fiber and contain lots of vitamins and minerals like zinc and magnesium. The high fiber content helps you feel full and satiated (and helps to thicken smoothies).
Let’s blend!
Making this smoothie requires a little time and a high-powered blender. It’s so simple yet so delicious! Jump to the recipe card for the full printable instructions.
- Blend it all together until smooth!
Adjust the sweetness
I always recommend adding more sweeteners, like honey, after blending everything. Then, you can taste it and see if you need the honey.
storing a smoothie
Smoothies are notoriously difficult to store well. And by that, I mean storing them so they still taste good the next day. For this smoothie, you can just pop leftovers in the fridge in an airtight jar. The trick, though, is to reblend it with ice cubes to make it thick again.
You can also pour it into ice cube molds and freeze them for up to 3 months. Then, blend them up with a splash of milk.
Give it a protein bump
If you want to add protein to this shake, try adding any of these ingredients.
- Greek Yogurt: You can add 1/2 cup of plain or vanilla yogurt. If you use plain yogurt, you’ll likely need to add honey.
- Protein Powder: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an easy 15+ grams of protein.

What a great way to get started on that 25g of fiber we are supposd to, but usually don’t, get. Thanks for the post.
Definitely! This smoothie has 5.4 g, so you’ll be well on your way to the recommended 25g if you drink this in the morning! 🙂
This is one of the most delicious smoothies I’ve ever tasted!! I’ve substituted the cloves for ginger and also tried it with different berries – yum!
YAY! So happy to hear it! Enjoy! 😀
Super yummy! And I love how simple the ingredients are to gather and throw together. Didn’t end up using any honey, but I think if the fruit is sweet enough you won’t need to. Love this recipe!!!
