Oatmeal Smoothie
Smoothies that are healthy AND taste good are the best! And the ones that require a spoon instead of a straw are even better. This Oatmeal Smoothie is loaded with creamy peanut butter, old fashioned oats, and soy milk. Even though it’s loaded with protein and healthy nutrients, it tastes like dessert in a glass!
This Oatmeal Smoothie recipe makes just enough for one serving. It is the perfect portion size for a snack, breakfast, or midday meal. But you can easily double it if you’re making smoothies for two. (That’s my kind of love language!)
With only a few simple ingredients (only 5!) this smoothie comes together quickly. It can be made in under 5 minutes! Perfect for hectic mornings when you are running out the door.
To make the Oatmeal Smoothie, simply add all of the ingredients to a blender, blend for 30 seconds (or until smooth), and stir. Blend again for another 30 seconds to 60 seconds after stirring to ensure there are no chunks. Pour into a glass (or a bowl), and garnish with banana slices, peanut butter drizzle and oats if desired. Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator until ready to eat. You can also double or triple the recipe to have extra on hand for the week!

oatmeal smoothie ingredients
- Oats: Rolled oats, quick cooking oats or old fashioned oats work best in this smoothie. I would not suggest using steel cut oats in this recipe, as they’ll result in a gritty smoothie.
- Creamy Peanut Butter: You can use natural nut butter in place of the peanut butter if you prefer, to cut down on the sugar. Almond or cashew nut butter would both be delicious! To make this smoothie nut free substitute tahini or sunflower seed butter.
- Banana: I like using frozen bananas in this smoothie. It keeps the smoothie extra thick, and it’s the perfect excuse to use up all those overripe bananas on your counter or in your freezer! The riper the banana the sweeter this smoothie will be! If using room temperature bananas add in a couple ice cubes to chill down the smoothie and to help thicken it up. If you do not like banana, then I would suggest substituting the banana with greek yogurt.
- Soy Milk: Almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or regular milk can be substituted for the soy milk. Use your favorite kind! I usually just use whatever we have on hand at the moment.
TIP: For an extra chilled smoothie freeze your banana first! You could also just add some ice cubes too!
How To Make an Oatmeal Smoothie
- Add the banana, peanut butter, oats, milk and chia seeds to a blender.
- Blend for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy and lump free.
- Pour into a glass and garnish with a drizzle of peanut butter, banana slices and oats if desired. Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
How Much Protein Is In This Oatmeal Smoothie?
This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie is loaded with protein. One serving packs in 14.7 grams of protein and 4.7 grams of fiber, making this a simple, yet filling, smoothie. Here’s where all that protein comes from:
- 1/2 cup of Soy Milk -> 4 grams of protein
- 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter -> 8.0 grams
- 1 whole Banana -> 1.2 grams
- 1/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats -> 2.7 grams
tips
- Adjust the thickness of this smoothie by adding more or less milk to get your desired consistency. Some people like easily drinkable smoothie and others like super thick smoothies you can eat with a spoon!
- The riper your banana the sweeter your smoothie will be! If you want to sweeten up your smoothie more or if you banana wasn’t super ripe add a bit of honey or maple syrup to taste.
oatmeal smoothie variations
- Want more protein? Add some plain Greek yogurt, raw nuts (like almonds or walnuts), and flax or more chia seeds. You could even add a scoop of your favorite protein powder!
- Incorporate some raw veggies! Spinach is easily hidden in this smoothie, but broccoli or carrots would be good, too!
- Need it to be colder? Add some ice!
- Add some more fruit! Apples, frozen berries, or kiwi would be great here.
- Add a splash of pure vanilla extract for added flavor! Works well with the peanut butter and oatmeal.
- Add spice: A touch of cinnamon or ground cloves would be amazing in this! This smoothie reminds me so much of oatmeal in a glass.
- Add some cocoa powder or cocoa nibs to make this a chocolate oatmeal smoothie!
how to store smoothies
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for a couple hours if needed. You can also freeze this prepared smoothie in an ice cube tray or freezer-safe container. Just re-blend it before enjoying later.

Would this be ok to make ahead of time and leave in the fridge for a few days?
Kelley
Hi Julia!
I have never made this smoothie in advance. I typically eat it right after I make it. I would say it should be good overnight sealed in a jar or Tupperware. But I would not do more than that. I would worry it might start separating.
Thanks!

Hi Kelley,
I plan to try this but I wanted to know, have you tried it with fresh spinach? If so, is it a go or a no?!
Kelley
Hi Lakesha!
I have not tried adding spinach to this smoothie but I add it to most of my other smoothies and its always amazing! You can’t taste the spinach and you still get the boost of vitamins. I would recommend doing it! I would say add about 1/2 cup or 1 cup to your smoothie!
Enjoy!
Kelley

Kristina
I just made this today, and it was thick. It looked like a melted milkshake. I added 4 ice cube, and changed 1/2 cup of soy milk to 1 cup, and it turned out delicious!
Nicole
Hey there, I know this is a late question but would this recipe still come out as good if I used 1 cup of low fat normal milk?
Kelley
Hi Nicole,
Yes regular milk will be fine in this smoothie.
Thank you & Enjoy!
Kelley
Nicole

Tim
This was the first smoothie I made. Was suitably impressed, has a high amount of protein. For bodybuilding can always double the quantity and is a natural mass gainer.
Jane
Can you use steel cut oats?
Kelley
Hi Jane,
I would not recommend using steel cut oats in this recipe. They usually require to be cooked before using. I would recommend rolled oats or old fashioned oats.
Thanks!
