We love to start our day with a huge smoothie and now that our daughter can eat oats we’re having a ton of fun. Oatmeal is delicious with tons of fresh fruit, but our daughter is so new to oats that we’re keeping oats simple.
Our Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie was guaranteed to be a winner for her. She devoured her entire smoothie in less than 5 minutes and then asked for MORE!

We love to use beautiful, fresh sweet strawberries in this Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie. For the banana, we like to use frozen. We buy tons of bananas at the store and let them get a bit brown. Once the bananas are brown we peel them and freeze the bananas for smoothies, blend into juices or even make banana ice cream!
We like to use natural sweeteners like honey, agave or maple syrup. Since we were making a smoothie we stuck with fresh local raw honey. You can use less or more sweetener depending on how sweet your strawberries are (learn how to pick strawberries). It’s a little thick, but blends right into our smoothie in our Vitamix. We also own a Blendtec that works really well too!
The main reason we suggest using a higher speed blender is to really grind down the oats. You can pour into any fancy glass or even into a mason jar and drink it through a stainless steel straw. You can buy stainless steel straws online in different varieties.
This smoothie makes enough for two people or one large serving for yourself if you’re not eating anything else for breakfast. We like to pair our Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie with scrambled eggs or avocado toast. We really hope you enjoy this recipe and can’t wait to hear how you like it!
- 1 Cup Coconut Milk (you can use almond, soy or regular milk too!)

Made it this morning.. Loved it! It is very nourishing but also feels like you’re having dessert for breakfast. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for trying our recipe, Michelle! Glad you enjoyed this healthy breakfast, that actually feels and tastes like dessert! 😉
Can you use vanilla extract and regular honey?
Absolutely! 🙂
Do we need to cook the oatmeal?
You do not need to cook the oatmeal, but if you want the oatmeal to be a little softer we suggest soaking over cooking. 🙂
Could you add spinach or other greens to this?
You can definitely try – we haven’t but would love to know how it turns out! 🙂
You should have included nutritional info, especially carb content.
This looks really delcious. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I just made this. And after drinking about half.. I realized that coconut milk (which you recommended and which I used) has a whopping 500 calories in 1 cup if you use canned! I stopped drinking. I usually consume 200-300 calories for breakfast, not 600-700!
I will make this again because it’s delicious, but next time, I’ll use regular or almond milk.
Hi Courtney! That must have been one tasty smoothie! That being said, we use coconut milk that you would find in the dairy section. Should be no more than 45-60 calories per glass. 🙂 Canned is great for some recipes, however we do not recommend using canned for this.
This is a great breakfast drink. I used my Nutra Bullet to grind up the oatmeal to a fine powder and added 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice, as I prefer it a little sweeter and thinner! We are all different, so if you find a recipe and need to embellish a little, I say “go for it!” It beats a sandwich from McDonalds. Lol
Sounds delicious! Yes, definitely beats the drive-thru! 🙂
