This oatmeal smoothie bowl is a thick, spoonable breakfast that tastes like a treat. By milling the oats into a fine powder first, you get a velvety soft-serve ice cream texture without the grit. It's the best smoothie recipe for energy to power through your morning.
1cupfrozen fruit(mixed berries, blackberries, or strawberries)
½cupGreek yogurt(any fat% works)
⅓cupmilk(or milk of choice)
1tablespoonhoney(or preferred sweetener)
Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
Pulse the Oats: Place the dry rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Pulse for 10-15 seconds until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
Add Frozen Base: Add your frozen ripe banana and frozen fruit. (If the fruit is too hard, use the microwave for 10 seconds to soften).
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the Greek yogurt, milk, and honey.
Blend Low and Slow: Start the blender on the lowest speed to catch the frozen chunks. Increase speed gradually. If it's too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into a chilled bowl. The texture should be thick enough to hold your toppings on the surface.
The Fun Part: Garnish with fresh kiwi, blackberries, granola, or coconut flakes. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
*The nutrition label is for the base of the smoothie only and does not include the toppings.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw for 10 minutes on the counter or 15 seconds in the microwave to restore the soft-serve ice cream texture.
The "Cookie" Variation: Add a dash of vanilla and a few chocolate chips to make it taste like oatmeal cookies.
Check Labels: If watching your daily values, always check the labels on your yogurt and plant milk for added sugars.
