What is Oatmeal Smoothie?
Oatmeal Smoothie is a rich and creamy drink loaded with flavors of peanut butter, banana, cinnamon, and vanilla. Especially the oatmeal used in this smoothie makes it filling and satisfying and the richness from the silky smooth peanut butter makes it irresistibly good.
Also, it makes a perfect drink when you are looking for some decadent weight loss drinks. But I would suggest adding low-fat milk or vegan-friendly milk like oat milk, and almond milk instead of full-fat milk.
You might also consider skipping the sugar or other sweeteners when you are really on a serious weight loss diet. Overall this Oatmeal Smoothie is one of the best drinks to spruce up your morning breakfast or a quick snack to fill your hunger pangs.
Ingredients and Substitutions Overview
The ingredients you will need to make this Oatmeal Smoothie are basic elements that you might already have in your pantry. So let's see what are they below.
- Oatmeal - A good source of fiber and makes your smoothie satisfying and filling especially when you are in weight loss management. Here I have used quick oats but feel free to use rolled oats or other oats that work well for this recipe. But I would suggest powdering the oats first before adding in the other ingredients. You could also soak the oats in milk or water for 30 minutes instead of powdering
- Banana - Frozen banana makes the thick smoothie but feel free to use fresh bananas and make sure to add a lot of ice cubes to achieve that texture
- Peanut Butter - Healthy fat that is filled with protein and delivers a creamy and filling smoothie
- Vanilla Essence - Enhance the flavor of the smoothie
- Cinnamon Powder - Gives a slight touch of warm and sweet notes
- Salt - Adding a small amount of salt improves the overall flavor of the smoothie
- Milk and Yogurt - I have used full-fat milk and yogurt here but feel free to use non-dairy milk like oat milk, almond milk, or other kinds of milk for a vegan-friendly version
How to Make Oatmeal Smoothie at Home?
The recipe I have shared here is an Oatmeal Smoothie made with banana and peanut butter. I have also added some add-ins like cinnamon powder and vanilla essence to enhance its taste and flavor. But if you are on a weight loss journey then I recommend skipping the honey or maple syrup from the recipe as the peanut butter already has some amount of sugar.

Chef's Notes and Tips
- Oats - I have used quick oats that do not require soaking. But if you are using rolled oats then I recommend pulsing it to a fine powder before adding the other ingredients
- For a thick Smoothie - Adding frozen banana and yogurt gives a thick texture to your smoothie. But if frozen bananas are not handy then I recommend using a lot of ice cubes to achieve similar results
- Healthy Fat - Even though I have used Peanut Butter, the classic healthy fat in my recipe you can also feel free to add almond butter to enjoy the similar benefits
- Dairy - You can also replace regular milk with almond milk, oat milk, or similar other non-dairy products for a vegan-friendly version of this smoothie. For the yogurt, you can also use almond or coconut yogurt

FAQ
Yes, you can add raw oats to this smoothie but I would suggest soaking them in milk or water for at least 30 minutes before blending them with other ingredients to achieve a smooth texture.
It is not necessary to soak if you are using instant or quick oats. But for raw oats or rolled oats, I would suggest powdering the oats before adding other ingredients to the blender. You can also soak them for at least 30 minutes in water or milk to achieve a creamy smoothie.
