Ingredients

1 cup blueberries

¾ cup pomegranate juice

½ cup low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt

½ cup skim milk

½ cup rolled oats

¼ cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions

  2. Blend on high until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrients without altering the flavor.

For added protein, consider adding protein powder or chia seeds.

Swap the blueberries for other antioxidant-rich fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries.

For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or coconut milk and dairy-free yogurt.

Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less sweetener.
