This creamy, dairy-free Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie tastes like strawberry soft serve but is packed with nutritious ingredients. I’ve been adding oats to my smoothies for years and it’s a surprisingly under-rated smoothie ingredient.

Nothing beats a smoothie for snacking on the go or for a quick breakfast. It felt like time to add some new variations (easy green smoothie is my tried-and-true). Enter Strawberry Almond Oatmeal Smoothie. It’s a lighter option and nice that it’s dairy-free so I don’t worry about it sitting in my tote bag during school pick-up. It gives the kids the energy they need for busy afternoons. I love it too.

Rolled Oats in Smoothies

I love rolled oats (if you do too, check out my Mason Jar Overnight Oats). And it may sound strange, but I have long been a big fan of adding a scoop of rolled oats to my smoothies (I first discovered it with this smoothie). Oats give the smoothie added protein and fiber but they also give it a surprisingly creamy texture. If you have a high-powered blender, it will blend the oats into a smooth texture that thickens the smoothie and gives it a creamy texture. If your blender is not a high-powered one, you can soak the oats in hot water for 10 minutes first (this will soften them and help them to blend to smooth) to the blender or just skip the oats.

Also worth noting, if you like the idea of oatmeal smoothies. I recently discovered that you can make a delicious smoothie from cooked oatmeal thanks to Gina at Skinnytaste’s Avena.

Strawberry Almond Oatmeal Smoothie

This creamy, dairy-free smoothie tastes like strawberry soft serve but is packed with nutritious ingredients that make it a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Adding rolled oats to the smoothie boosts its protein and fiber content and gives it a creamy texture.
Prep: 5 minutes
Total: 5 minutes
Servings: 5

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients 

  • 24 ounces Strawberries, frozen (see note)
  • 2 Bananas
  • 2 cups Almond Milk
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (optional; see note)
  • 1/3 cup Almond Butter

Instructions 

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender.
  • Blend until smooth, adding more almond milk or some water if needed to help everything blend. (Note: If the strawberries are frozen solid when added to the smoothie you may need up to an extra cup of liquid.)
  • If you’d like the smoothie a bit sweeter, add some honey or your favorite sweetener.

Notes

Frozen Strawberries – You can let the frozen strawberries defrost slightly or add them straight from the freezer, but will need to adjust the liquid amounts accordingly. See recipe instructions to add additional liquid if the strawberries are frozen solid when added to the smoothie. 
Rolled Oats – If you have a high-powered blender, it will blend the oats into a smooth texture that thickens the smoothie and gives it a creamy texture. If your blender is not a high-powered one, you can soak the oats in hot water for 10 minutes first (this will soften them and help them to blend to smooth) to the blender or just skip the oats.
