Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie (Creamy, Refreshing)

If you’re craving something sweet, but still want to pack in some nutrients, this strawberry oatmeal smoothie is just the thing. Frozen strawberries add natural sweetness, while oats and yogurt bring creaminess, protein, and fiber.

Be sure not to skip pre-blending the old-fashioned oats. Nobody wants a chunky oat filled smoothie. Give them a good whirl in the blender at first and you will have a smooth, refreshing strawberry oatmeal smoothie!

It’s a simple blend of pantry and freezer staples that transforms into the perfect breakfast or snack recipe. It is also kid-friendly and you an easily adapt it to allergens in your family.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Old fashioned oats: You can swap for quick oats. If so, you don’t need to blend them first.
• Milk: You can use any dairy or nondairy milk you have on hand. Keep in mind that milk with a higher fat content, such as whole milk or oat milk, will result in a creamier smoothie.
• Frozen strawberries
• Vanilla Greek yogurt: Or regular yogurt. If they are not vanilla flavored, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla when blending.
• Honey or pure maple syrup: This is optional, but if you have a sweet tooth like me, I always add it!

How to make a strawberry oat smoothie

Step one: Place the old-fashioned oats in your blender. Blend until they are a fine powder. This will help create a smooth texture.

Step two: Pour in the remaining ingredients and blend again until all ingredients are well combined.

More add-ins

To add a bit more protein you can add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.

Shredded coconut adds delicious flavor, and frozen avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats and does not affect the flavor.
