This smoothie recipe is so BERRY filling and delicious! How do I make a smoothie that will keep me full and energized for hours? I make sure to include plenty of:
✅ Carbohydrates
✅ Fiber
✅ Protein
✅ Fat
When you are looking to make a satiating meal, you need to account for all three macronutrients and include plenty of fiber. Fruit provides carbs and fiber. Greek yogurt provides protein. The peanut butter provides fat and a tad more protein. The oats provide complex whole-grain carbs and more fiber. The hemp hearts are an all-around superstar because they contain a bit of everything: fiber, protein and healthy fats. The matcha in the smoothie is optional and will give you a gentle energy boost. Don’t add if you have a sensitivity to caffeine.
This smoothie is satisfying enough to be a meal on its own.
It can also be used as a post-workout snack. The following ingredients list is a suggestion and makes one large smoothie. Like always, I encourage you to play around with each ingredient and you’ll find a combination that works best for you and your needs.
Berry Filling and Energizing Smoothie
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

- ½ frozen banana
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
- ½ teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
Directions

Notes:
I like to use a frozen mixed berry blend in place of just blueberries. I also sometimes throw in a handful of spinach or a carrot to get some veggies in. Lastly, if this smoothie is not filling enough for you, try adding one more tablespoon of peanut butter and/or more yogurt. Happy smoothie drinking!
