Triple Berry Oat Smoothie in a glass

This Triple Berry Oat Smoothie makes it easy. It’s packed with fiber, heart-healthy oats, better-for-you fats from hemp seeds, antioxidant-rich berries. It’s also full of flavor and did you see that color?

With oats, hemp seeds, and berries, this healthy smoothie is packed with ingredients to nourish. This smoothie is a celebration for heart month and any time of the year.

Heart health is something we all need to keep top of mind so… I’m sharing a recipe to nourish your heart and delight your tastebuds. This time of year you might still be looking for recipes for weight loss or just general healthy eating with summer on the horizon.

Ingredients for heart health

This recipe checks the box on heart health because oats contain a soluble fiber called beta-glucan which may help lower cholesterol.

When eaten as part of a heart-healthy diet, eating 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day may help reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of oats has 2 grams. So with this recipe, you’re almost there!

To make this oat smoothie, you’ll need a blender that can grind oats. There’s a lot that you can do with oat flour beyond adding it to smoothies, like adding it to baked goods, or using it as a binder for veggie burgers. But that’s for another day.

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered the idea of adding oats to smoothies. While I love my bowl of oats, adding oats to smoothies is an easy way to take them on the go. And it’s a nice way to enjoy them cool during the warm weather months.

The hemp seed delivers protein without any protein powders or dairy. And you won’t even know they are there. This vegan green smoothie with hemp seeds is one of my favorites.

You can use any mixture of frozen blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries. And yes. Buy frozen. Frozen berries are inexpensive, nutritious, easy to find all year long, and help keep this smoothie frosty and refreshing.

Ways to sweeten a smoothie

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I tend to go light on sugar. I just like things less sweet. I’m using dates to add natural sweetness while also providing fiber, magnesium versus straight sugar – provides a few nutrient benefits for the sweetness.

Added sugar doesn’t always come up in heart health discussions but they do play a major role. As a registered dietitian nutritionist, my job is to not only provide you with delicious recipes but also to educate.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugars to no more than six teaspoons (about 100 calories) per day for women. Because sugars can add up quickly, balance out the rest of your day by limiting other sugar sources.

When creating your own smoothies, think about ways to use berries, and even spices like cinnamon to add flavor while keeping added sugar at a minimum.

Now on to the super simple recipe. Be sure to tag me on Instagram when you make it.
