    Blueberry smoothie bowl without banana

    This blueberry smoothie bowl without banana is fresh and light, and makes for a healthy breakfast or snack. Made without yogurt or banana, we use oats and chia to add a little protein and thicken it too. Vegan, gluten free (using certified oats) and low histamine recipe.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • Fresh and fruity - using frozen blueberries, this has all the sweetness of berries but is made with freezer and pantry staples.
    • Made without banana or yogurt - omitting these ingredients make this smoothie bowl perfect for those who aren't keen or able to tolerate these foods.
    • Plant-based protein - while this isn't a protein smoothie as such, the oats, chia and (optional) almond butter all provide lots of goodness. You can also add protein powder if you wish.
    • Easy to make - all you need is a blender and the smoothie bowl is ready in minutes.

    Ingredients

    bowls of blueberries, oats, chia seeds, toppings and maple syrup.

    This blueberry smoothie bowl is made with freezer and pantry staples. We make this smoothie without banana, and use oats and chia to thicken instead. You will need:

    • Frozen blueberries - raid the freezer for these! You can also use fresh blueberries as a topping.
    • Oats - used to thicken and add a bit more substance.
    • Chia - just a little for some good fats and protein.
    • Non-dairy milk - choose the type that suits you best.
    • Almond butter - optional, and you can use another nut or seed butter. Adds a little protein and helps thicken the smoothie.
    • Maple syrup - to add some sweetness. If you aren't vegan you can also use honey.

    Suggestions for toppings

    The fun of smoothie bowls is being able to add lots of toppings. Some ideas:

    • fresh fruit
    • nuts and seeds
    • coconut
    • more nut or seed butter
    • granola (you may like my chia seed granola)
    • muesli (you may like my low histamine muesli)

    I've also been topping my smoothie bowls with my apple trail mix lately and it's so good!

    Make sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients and their quantities!

    Step by step instructions

    Making homemade smoothies is very easy, with just a few steps:

    Step 1

    Add the oats to your blender and pulse blend for a few seconds to break them down into a fine oat flour. Remove from the blender.

    Step 2

    Pour the milk into the blender (don't worry about cleaning out any remains of oat flour), and add all the other ingredients (including the oat flour). Blend to your smoothie bowl consistency.

    Step 3

    Spoon into your bowl and sprinkle on any toppings.

    Recipe tips

    • I suggest adding the milk before the other ingredients to the blender to help prevent them sticking to the sides.
    • Add any protein powder you wish. If it has a stronger taste you may wish to add a little more fruit or maple syrup to mask it.
    • Top with nuts, seeds, granola or muesli for extra goodness!

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
