Looking for a healthy breakfast smoothie recipe? Try our vegan Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie!
Breakfast smoothies are fun and easy to make. You can easily add a lot of calories and sugar to a smoothie without realizing just how much you’re eating. When you make smoothies you’re processing the food inside of the blender instead of your mouth.
Two things, chew your smoothe and take it slow. A smoothie won’t fill you up as much as the unprocessed food will which is why we like to add in some oatmeal.
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. Everyone just loves drinking smoothies in glass jars and these milk bottles are our favorite by far.
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.
How to make our Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend, it’s that easy!
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!

July 1, 2015 at 12:13 amDo we need to cook the oatmeal?
Courtney says
July 4, 2015 at 7:37 amYou do not need to cook the oatmeal, but if you want the oatmeal to be a little softer we suggest soaking over cooking. 🙂
Rachel says
July 2, 2015 at 12:17 amCould you add spinach or other greens to this?
Courtney says
July 4, 2015 at 7:38 amYou can definitely try – we haven’t but would love to know how it turns out! 🙂

April 29, 2016 at 9:56 amI 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.
Courtney says
May 9, 2016 at 11:26 pmHi 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.

April 2, 2017 at 9:12 amThis 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
Chris says
April 5, 2017 at 10:59 amSounds delicious! Yes, definitely beats the drive-thru! 🙂

Thanks!
Juman says
August 27, 2017 at 2:57 pmIs it possible to use the vanilla powder?
Courtney says
December 21, 2017 at 11:25 amYou mean like a protein powder with vanilla? I don’t see an issue with this, just leave out the vanilla and you may need a little more liquid. 🙂

September 8, 2017 at 12:16 pmHow many total calories are in this smoothie?
Courtney says
December 21, 2017 at 11:25 amThe calories will vary depending on the liquid that is used.
Lachie says
January 14, 2018 at 5:02 pmCould you use weet-bix instead of rolled oats
Courtney says
January 14, 2018 at 5:15 pmHi Lachie!
We haven’t tried weet-bix, but suggest using oatmeal to achieve the same results. 🙂
Ed says
September 21, 2018 at 8:31 amHey. Just 1 question. Rolled oats soaked in what? Thx
Courtney says
September 23, 2018 at 8:46 pmSoaked in water. 🙂 This will reduce the phytic acid in the oats.
Mary Krause says
January 5, 2019 at 3:09 pmI just made this on a whim, and it’s very tasty!! I made quite a few changes, however, to add in protein, reduce added sugar, and reduce time.
I used a little less than a cup of a vanilla protein drink (premier), a banana, 8 frozen strawberries, and instant maple/brown sugar oatmeal (I cooked it in the microwave with water, as usual, and put it in the freezer to cool a little while I was preparing everything else). I blended it all together, it was delicious and very filling – I couldn’t even finish the whole thing! Thank you for posting this recipe, it’s wonderful the way it is but also very malleable 🙂
Courtney says
January 18, 2019 at 9:27 pmSo glad you had fun trying it in a new way! 🙂

January 23, 2019 at 7:39 amCan you please explain where the 15 grams of fat are coming from? Thank you.
Courtney says
January 25, 2019 at 11:39 amThanks for catching! Somehow our recipe card it pulled the oat milk ingredients as goat milk, fixed. 🙂
