Equipment 

High-powered blender

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. 
2. Serve immediately. Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container. I like to use mason jars. 

Freezing your oatmeal breakfast smoothie or shake

I will frequently make bigger batches and freeze in smaller mason jars for later. Be sure to leave enough room at the top of the jar for it to expand when frozen! 

Milk

I like to use coconut milk, but oat milk, whole milk, or unsweetened almond milk are also options. 

Oats

I use rolled organic oatmeal. Quick oats could also work. Although I’ve never tested it, I don’t think steel-cut oats would be a good alternative.

Use raw oats, not already cooked. No need to use ground oats if you have a high powered blender. 

Sweetener

If you want a little sweeter smoothie you can add 1-2 dates or maple syrup/honey. I find the fruit naturally sweetens this lightly. 

Pack your oatmeal smoothie with even more protein

You can add a scoop of protein powder either flavored or unflavored. You can add cashews, walnuts, sunflower seeds, hemp seed, or chia seeds.

I’ve tried all of these combos in one way or another. A tablespoon of peanut butter is extra tasty in the chocolate smoothie.

Add veggies

You can add veggies to this recipe too! Stick to more mild tasting veggies. Frozen riced cauliflower is not even noticeable -as well as spinach.

I buy frozen diced avocado and add a ¼ cup here and there. It makes the smoothies so creamy and boosts the smoothie with healthy fats! My kids eat these with veggies added all the time. They have no idea.

Fruit

You can either use fresh fruit or frozen fruit. If using frozen you may need more liquid or let them defrost a bit depending on your type of blender.
