Strawberry Oat Breakfast Smoothie
Why this recipe works
- Ready fast: Everything is blended in minutes, making it well suited to busy mornings.
- Smooth, creamy body: Greek yoghurt, banana and milk give the smoothie a thick but drinkable consistency.
- Naturally sweetened: Ripe banana and strawberries provide the main sweetness, with honey added to round out the flavour.

Texture tips
- Blend the oats first: Breaking down the oats with the milk before adding the fruit helps prevent a grainy finish.
- For a lighter texture: Blend in a little more milk until the smoothie is loose enough to drink easily.
- For a frostier smoothie: Add extra ice and blend again until the texture is cold, thick and frothy.
Ingredient notes
- Use a ripe banana: A ripe banana gives better sweetness and helps thicken the smoothie without needing much added sweetener.
- Adjust the honey to the fruit: Very sweet strawberries may need less honey, so taste before adding more.
- Choose the milk for texture: Whole milk gives a rounded, creamy blend; oat drink makes the smoothie lighter in style.
Make-ahead tips
- Best served fresh: The smoothie is at its coldest and frothiest straight after blending.
- If storing: Keep it sealed in the fridge for up to 1 day, then shake well or re-blend before serving.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats and whole milk to a blender and blend for 20 to 30 seconds, until the oats are finely broken down. This helps the smoothie turn silky rather than grainy.
- Add the Greek yogurt, banana, strawberries, honey, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Add the ice cubes and blend again until thick, cold and frothy. Pour into 2 glasses and serve straight away.
Recipe notes
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, blend the oats with the milk first, then add everything else.
- If your strawberries are very sweet, start with half the honey, taste, then add the rest if you want it sweeter.
- For a thinner smoothie, blend in a splash more whole milk; for a thicker one, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again.
Substitutions
- Replace Honey with Agave syrup for a similar gentle sweetness.
- Replace Whole milk with Oat drink for a lighter, dairy-free style.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best served immediately. If needed, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 day; shake or re-blend to restore a smooth texture.
