Method
Make the Streusel
- In a small skillet over medium-low heat, combine oats, almond flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant. The mixture should clump slightly and smell like toasted nuts. Transfer to a plate to cool completely.
Blend the Smoothie Base
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen blueberries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Start on low, then increase to high, using the tamper to push ingredients down. Add remaining milk only if needed. You want a thick, soft-serve consistency that holds its shape - not pourable.
Assemble and Serve
- Immediately divide the smoothie base between two shallow bowls, using a spoon to create swoops and ridges. Sprinkle generously with the cooled streusel, then add fresh blueberries and sliced almonds. Serve right away with a spoon - this is meant to be eaten thick, not sipped.
Notes
For the thickest texture, freeze your banana slices flat on a baking sheet overnight rather than tossing them in a bag. The streusel can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Swap the almond butter for cashew butter if you want a more neutral flavor that lets the blueberry shine.
