This oatmeal smoothie has an amazing flavor combination with the oats, maple syrup and frozen fruit. It’s thick with little bits of oat texture and flavor, which makes it taste like you’re eating oatmeal cookie dough. Try this smoothie for breakfast instead of a bowl of hot porridge.
Another great thing about this smoothie is it is filling and satiating because of the oat fiber. I also make these filling smoothies with nuts and seeds including a chia seed smoothie and chocolate flax smoothie.
Ingredients
This smoothie uses the following vegan ingredients:
- unsweetened almond milk - You can substitute with your favorite plant-based milk or cow's milk.
- maple syrup - I love the breakfast-flavor this gives the smoothie.
- old-fashioned oats - Or quick oats work too.
- banana - Sliced and frozen.
- frozen papaya - If you can't get your hands on papaya, you can use frozen mango chunks or more frozen banana instead.
- cinnamon - To garnish (optional).
*See recipe card for ingredient amounts.
How to Make it
- Add the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, oats, banana, papaya and cinnamon to a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness with the maple syrup, if needed.
- Transfer to a glass. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder on top and serve!
Recipe FAQs
