I have to admit that I love smoothies. And while we have quite a few smoothie recipes at 31Daily, this one has a special place in my heart.

I’m not sure if it’s the cinnamon or the vanilla, the banana, or the maple flavoring that has me thinking about it long after it’s gone.

I hope you love as much as I do!

How Healthy is Oatmeal?

Here are 5 ways oatmeal may be more healthy than you knew! How healthy is it? I’m glad you asked.

Nutrient rich: “Oats are also bundled with a variety of vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, B vitamins, and smaller amounts of calcium and potassium.”
Provides antioxidants: A recent study found oats possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Weight Management: Research shows that regular oatmeal consumers have lower body weights, smaller waist circumferences, and lower body mass indexes.
Beta-glucan fiber: While a serving of oatmeal provides 14% of daily fiber, the type of fiber it contains is uniquely protective. Harvard Health says
Promotes long life: “A recent study found that oatmeal consumption may lower the risk of all causes of death, including heart disease, the nation’s leading killer.”

Some of my favorite oat recipes are Blueberry Amish Baked Oatmeal, Healthy Oat Crackers, and Blueberry Oat Muffins.

How to Make an Oatmeal Smoothie

There is no prep work needed for this oatmeal smoothie recipe. All it takes is a few simple ingredients and a High-speed blender.

Begin by blending the oats until they are finely ground; a few seconds and a couple of pulses.
Then add the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth.

Oatmeal Smoothie Ingredients

The exact measurements are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post, but here’s an overview of the ingredients as well as some notes on each.

Oatmeal. My favorite smoothie ingredient. Because the oatmeal is ground in the blender, you can use any kind of oats you have on hand. I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats work too.
Bananas: You can use frozen banana slices, or you can peel a banana, break it into chunks and add it to the blender. Your choice. Frozen bananas will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier consistency. Fresh bananas will result in a more liquidity smoothie but adding 5 to 6 ice cubes will thicken it up!
Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is my favorite yogurt to add to smoothies. It’s packed with protein and brings a nice balance.
Milk: This recipe calls for 1/2 cup of almond milk, but use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk.
Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter gives this smoothie the perfect consistency. Use your favorite brand or any other nut butter you prefer.
Seasoning: Ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt adds incredible flavor to this oatmeal smoothie.
Maple Syrup: Substitute for honey if you prefer the flavor — but maple syrup and cinnamon are a delicious flavor combination!
