Health Benefits
Blueberries are a great source of antioxidants and have been shown to boost brain health.
Raspberries are rich in fiber and vitamins C and K.
Strawberries are a good source of Vitamin C and help improve immunity.
Oats are a good source of fiber and help to regulate blood sugar levels.
Ingredients
Berries – Use fresh or frozen berries. I used blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
Cranberry Juice is used to thin down the smoothie a bit. You can replace it with other juices like pineapple juice, orange juice, or mango juice. Coconut water is also a great option.
Oats – Oats add healthy fibers to the smoothie and also make it thicker. Use rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) or instant oats.
Don’t use steel-cut oats as they will create a chunkier texture.
Yogurt – I used plain yogurt but you can use Greek yogurt too. Use plant-based yogurt to make this recipe vegan.
Banana adds creaminess to this smoothie.
How To Make Triple Berry Oat Tropical Smoothie
Freeze the berries for 3-4 hours. If using frozen berries, then skip this step.
Tip – If the berries are frozen for a long time, just thaw them for 10 minutes for easy blending.

- ¼ cup frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup frozen raspberries
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup cranberry juice
- ½ cup rolled oats (or instant oats)

Add some milk if the smoothie is thick for your liking. Check for sweetness and add some sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, etc) if needed.

Note – Add a few ice cubes to each glass if you like your smoothie super chilled.
