Peach Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie
A delicious breakfast smoothie filled with blueberries, peaches and no-refined sugar!
I have a confession. Sometimes the actual writing of blog posts is the hardest part of blogging for me. Wait who am I kidding, most times it is the hardest. Keeping up with you all on social media is a close second since I am so slow and techy challenged. I made this peach blueberry oatmeal smoothie over two weeks ago and I’ve had every intention of sharing it sooner but just couldn’t get to writing the post. Which is sad because it has nothing to do with the recipe. I am in love with this new easy on-the go breakfast smoothie.
When it comes to actually writing, I draw a blank. Maybe it’s because it’s always around 11pm that I am settling down to compose a post 😮 Or it could be related to the kind of week that I’ve been having, who knows! I’ve been pulling 12 hour days all week long. But those have happened in the past, so we can’t put the blame entirely on that. So I guess it’s just writer’s block then and general struggles with writing. Oh well, for now I’ll slurp on more smoothies. I suggest you do the same 🙂
I’m so in love with this peach blueberry oatmeal smoothie. Ripe and juicy peaches are the best part of the summer and I’ve been enjoying them like it’s my job. Putting oats in smoothies on the other hand is new to me. I had never put oats in my smoothie and boy is it a good idea. It makes the smoothie very filling and keeps you going longer in the morning. I’ve seriously made this smoothie at least three times in the past two weeks. I’m peechy-keen (sorry couldn’t resist lol!).
And when you do make this smoothie, please don’t spill it like I did. I was in a hurry that morning and spilled half of the smoothie as I tried taking a few photos before heading to work. Thank goodness I made more than enough because no one wants to start (or end) the week with spilled smoothie.

This sounds so good & refreshing! I go in phases when making smoothies and I think it’s about time for another ‘smoothie phase’ in my life ;). Beautiful blog by the way!
I’m totally a phase kind of girl too and smoothies are my current things. Thanks!!
Yup, writing the post is the hardest part for me too. I love baking, taking the pics and editing the pics but not writing! But I’m glad you shared your smoothie because it sounds fantastic!
Those are my favorite parts too!! I have a backlog of photographed recipes because I just can’t stop sometimes but then it gets hectic ti write and post them all lol!
I definitely have those writer’s block moments. Some days it seems like I have tons of ideas of what to write UNTIL the moment I sit down to actually do it. Total buzzkill.
I’m so glad you finally got around to sharing this though because I love some fruit smoothie inspiration in my mornings! Bonus because this has oatmeal mixed in!
I’m totally with ya girl. I have so many pictures and posts that go way back to even Valentine’s Day that I haven’t had a chance to post yet hehe. I struggle with writing too since the only chance I get to write is late at night or in the wee morning hours and sometimes I’m too tired and end up passing out or one of the kiddos start crying *sigh*. I would never have guessed you struggle with writing since I think your writing is awesome and you are a rockstar in the kitchen 🙂
I love this smoothie and wish it was my breakfast this morning 🙂 Hope you had a wonderful weekend Z!
Kelly, the late at night is what is kidding me and I can only imagine how much more it’s harder for you with two kiddos 🙂
I get writers block too. I’ve been trying to jot down or type ideas as I get tg so I don’t lose them! Cause I’ve had ideas before and have said “oh I’ll just type that later” only to forget what the idea was!
This smoothie looks great! If like to start my day with one of these. Pinned and sharing. Have a great week, Zainab!
Julie that is my problem too! I sometimes get ideas when I am driving or out and about but totally forget when I get down to writing. I will try jotting them down as they come. That’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I totally agree about the writing aspect of blogging — it’s hard when you’re head’s not in it and you’re tired or whatever. Sometimes I just want to throw up the photos and recipe and push publish! haha This smoothie looks delicious, and I’d love it for breakfast tomorrow! Pinning. 🙂
I hear you on the writing struggles. I’ve been meaning to post something since Thursday!! Still not up…whoops, guess I have some work to do! I love this smoothie – the oatmeal makes it so perfect for breakfast! Good luck with work – 12 hour days are no fun!
You know working FT doesn’t help our case dear!
Haha, I will totally spill it in your honor! I feel you, between the social media, and actually writing the post, blogging becomes very time consuming! Don’t worry, we all have those days (or weeks, it feels like) where nothing comes to mind. This oatmeal smoothie makes up for it because ohmygosh I love fresh peaches. Summer is amazing because of them. And smoothies. But especially your oatmeal smoothie! Pinned!
Nooo don’t spill!! This happened on a Monday morning too. Was not a great start to the week.
I recently tried oats in a smoothie and it didn’t come out quite as I hoped. I was trying to copy a drink I recently had. I’m going to try yours now…my kids love smoothies! Sometimes I find the writing the hardest part too. I often put it off till late at night!
Oh Michelle I love oats in smoothies now. Hope you can convert once you try this! Have a great weekend 🙂
Zainab, you are a kitchen rock-star! It’s the worst thing to do to come by your blog when I’m on a diet. Bleh. I want to eat everything, right now! Keep it up, girlfriend. I’ll just keep pinning them for later. 🙂
Thank you Mariel!! I am not diet friendly most times 😛 But once you are done I am sure you will want to indulge 🙂
Totally with you girl… writing is the hardest part!! Which I think is so funny to me because thats what blogging is but I love it all none the less. Some days it comes easy and some days it is painfully dreadful to pull the words from my brain.
One thing you are amazing at is making food and taking photos cuz EVERY time I see a post my mouth just waters. This smoothie looks so refreshing, love the peach addition… perfect time of the year for it!
Krista I always love reading your blog. I know it’s always a great place for good writing and fun stories!! Thanks for your sweet comment 🙂
