Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie Recipe

This strawberry oatmeal smoothie recipe is the most filling smoothie recipe I have ever had. It really was “breakfast in a cup”.
The truth is, as much as I love smoothies, I always have to have something with them because I’m always hungry about 1 hour after drinking them. Even if I add extra protein powder to them. But this…. this smoothie was different. This smoothie kept me going ALL morning. In fact, I was so NOT hungry, that I forgot to eat my second meal of the day! Not too bad for a smoothie…
My theory is that the raw oats expand in your stomach to keep you full. It’s high fiber too. So staying full from breakfast to lunch is not a problem. A morning smoothie also makes breakfast fast and portable. Just pour in a cup and go! I do love my morning smoothies….

Notes
Nutrition
Can you leave the whey protein out of the recipe since it is not technically clean?
Shawnae – Definitely!
Yuuumy! I did not add the protein powder. I did add some fresh strawberries and did use a little honey…very good…even my 10 and 12 year old loved it!!!
Sally – Fantastic! 🙂
Cut the recipe in half. It was great. Was afraid I would be hungry really quick, but after a couple of hours and a workout I’m good. How well does it refrigerate if I make the the entire recipe and save half for the next day?
Sabrina – You might want to give it a good shake, but it should be fine. Enjoy!
Couldnt you use almond for protien
tifftiff – Sure! Whatever you want to use is fine. 🙂
If you pre make this, should you wait to put the oatmeal in until your about to eat it?
Terra – No. You would still put it in with everything else. You are blending everything up. You don’t want any whole oats in there. Also, this won’t keep longer than a day, so I wouldn’t wait too long to drink it. Hope you enjoy it!
I hate milk or anything that looks like milk. Can I put orange juice instead of almond milk? How will the protein powder taste with orange juice. Do you have any other recipes that are made with juice instead of milk? Thanks
Jesus – I don’t have one with just juice, but it should work just fine. And if you’re worried about adding extra sugar, try water. It won’t be as smooth or thick, but it might work. I haven’t tried it myself, so if you do, let me know how it turns out.
Wow! Just made this smoothie, DELISH!!!! LOVE IT WILL BE MAKING THIS AGAIN 🙂
Mary Pat – I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 😀
Can you give me an estimate about the amount of calories in this smoothie? Thanks.
Inga – You would have to enter it into a recipe calculator online. MyFitnessPal.com has a very easy one to use.
Is the oatmeal “chunky” when you drink the smoothie?
Debbie – Not if you blend it well enough. It will depend on the speed/strength of your blender.
I blend the oats into a powder first and then add the remaining ingredients. Love these! I have been experimenting with all kinds of fruits and ingredients. Saw one with peanut butter and bananas. Going to try that next.
Sharon – Great idea! And yes, peanut butter and bananas are an amazing combo!!
Hello. I’m confused . . . if there is whey protein powder, let alone almond milk, in this recipe, how can there be only one gram of protein per the nutritional information? Thank you.
Babs – I think because the end result is 5 servings. But as it says on the recipe data, the data isn’t exact. The protein count can also change based on which protein powder you use. These are just ballpark figures.
