Secure the lid and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again.

What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Using frozen berries is key to a thick, cold smoothie without needing to add ice, which can water down the flavor.
- 2For an extra boost of greens, add a handful of fresh spinach. The berry flavor will completely mask it.
- 3Ensure you use ground flaxseed, not whole, as your body can absorb the nutrients much more effectively from the ground form.
- 4If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can soak the oats in the soy milk for 10 minutes before blending to soften them.
