- Hey y'all, how's it going?
0:02
Once again, I'm in my grandma's kitchen
0:04
and today we are going to be trying out a recipe.
0:06
This is the first time I've made this recipe.
0:08
So I thought, you know what?
0:10
Fire up the camera and do it with y'all
0:12
and see how it turns out.
0:13
Today we are making a blueberry muffin smoothie.
0:17
So the reason why I chose this
0:19
is if you know anything about me,
0:22
I love working out, exercising, anything like that.
0:25
And oftentimes in the morning,
0:27
right when I wake up, I like to go lift weights.
0:28
And a really important thing before you lift weights
0:32
is you need to make sure
0:32
that you're getting fueled up, you have proper energy to go,
0:35
and have a good workout, whatever you want to do.
0:36
So if y'all also are like that,
0:38
then this is a good recipe for you,
0:39
because here we have so many things that you need.
0:42
It's a blueberry muffin smoothie,
0:43
but really don't let that name deceive you.
0:45
This is a very nice, healthy smoothie
0:48
that we're going to be making today.
0:50
And I'm sure it's delicious as well.
0:51
So let's go ahead and get started.
0:53
Today, we're going to start out using
0:54
our half a cup of old-fashioned oats.
0:56
As always, the recipe to this
0:58
will be down in the description
0:59
if you guys want to try it out yourself.
1:01
But the key here is we need to get our oats
1:06
all pulsed and ground up first before we add anything else.
1:10
So let's go ahead and do that.
1:12
Make sure the lid's on secure and here we go.
1:14
(processor whirring) (Jack humming)
1:21
So the reason why we do that
1:22
is just getting them nice and ground up,
1:24
because if we add all of our liquids,
1:26
and our yogurts and berries all in there at the same time
1:29
I don't think the oats will be necessarily
1:32
as ground as we'd want them to be.
1:33
So after that, we can just go ahead and do everything else.
1:37
I like to do ice first,
1:38
'cause the ice sometimes,
1:39
if you put your ice from your smoothie at the top,
1:42
it has a hard time getting ground up,
1:43
so I'll go ahead and put the ice in,
1:45
and we'll do everything else on top of that.
1:47
One cup of plain Greek yogurt,
1:49
and this is where you're going
1:50
to really be getting your protein from to fuel that workout,
1:54
so let's go ahead and throw that in there as well.
1:57
(yogurt sloshing) (utensils clinking)
1:59
And, let's see. (spoon thumping)
2:03
We have our frozen blueberries.
2:07
(blueberries clunking)
2:08
So just another thing that's going to be,
2:10
like the ice, the ice I always like to add
2:12
just 'cause it just makes it taste better.
2:15
But the berries are already frozen too,
2:17
so that's how this is going to be a cold smoothie
2:20
and not just a warm blueberry.
2:24
So let's go half cup of almond milk.
2:27
And almond milk is good.
2:29
I know a lot of people swear by, they love to just drink it,
2:32
but I like it in my smoothies and to use in recipes,
2:35
but I've never been a big fan of just almond milk by itself,
2:39
but here it's all good.
2:39
Next up we have our two tablespoons of agave nectar.
2:45
We're going to also throw in half a teaspoon
2:48
of our ground cinnamon.
2:52
And lastly, we're going to go ahead
2:54
and do half a teaspoon of our vanilla extract,
2:57
which is really going to give it
2:58
that kind of muffin taste
3:02
that we're looking for.
3:04
So we got all that thrown in there.
3:06
Let's go ahead and get it ground and see how it tastes.
3:11
(processor whirring) (Jack humming)
3:18
Let me turn it up a little bit.
3:26
You know what, Dad, maybe you can try this one with me
3:28
since you're already here.
3:30
Give it a taste test.
3:32
But that looks pretty good to me.
3:34
I had some extra milk just in case,
3:36
so y'all, if you never made a smoothie before,
3:39
just know if you need
3:40
to make it a little bit more liquidy,
3:41
you can always add a little bit more milk in there
3:45
to kind of easing it up.
3:47
Don't spill it over the top. (jug thumps)
3:53
Mm. Thank you, buddy.
3:54
- Oh my gosh, that tastes just like a blueberry muffin.
3:58
What do you think? - Hmm, hmm.
4:02
Hmm, too healthy, add some mayonnaise.
4:06
- No, that tastes very good and refreshing.
4:08
Let me have one more real taste.
4:10
Hmm, it's the oats, y'all.
4:12
Do not skip the oats,
4:14
because that gives it a really nice texture.
4:16
And also you can really taste...
4:17
it kind of tastes like a blueberry oatmeal muffins.
4:21
I'll definitely be eating this anytime before a workout,
4:24
just to have a good, nice, fresh start of the day.
4:26
So I want to thank y'all so much for joining me today.
4:30
And like always, the recipe is down in the description,
4:34
and I'll see you guys in the next one.
