These Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothies make the ultimate breakfast to-go. Not only is it healthy, but it’s delicious, filling and ready in less than 5 minutes! Your mornings just got a little bit easier.
YOU GUYS. I have to share this post with you before anything else (like those chicken wings I keep promising) because I love it so much. I have a new breakfast obsession. I know, I know. I say that every time I make something new for breakfast. Every. Time. It’s a problem. What’s not a problem? Sucking down one of these awesome strawberry banana oatmeal smoothies every morning.
They are bangarang. I LOVE them. And these oatmeal smoothies are so easy to make it’s not even funny. They’re perfect for those busy mornings where you need something quick to-go and don’t have time to sit and eat something. Like, not even 5 minutes. I know most of you have many-a-morning like that.
I’ve got plenty of mornings like that and I’m home. Ha! I’ll take my strawberry banana smoothie – to go. To go do the dishes, feed my kids, change some diapers, clean up x1000. You get it. So while I’m not physically going somewhere every morning, I’m still very much on the go.
That’s where these super fantastic strawberry banana oatmeal smoothies come in. They take a few minutes to make – pour it, drink it, breakfast is done and done. The oatmeal is hearty and filling and makes these smoothies nice and thick. Surprisingly thick. It’s almost like I’m drinking a shake (but not as sweet).
They’re wicked satisfying. Bonus – it keeps me full until lunch. AAANNDD they’re healthy too. Oatmeal, strawberries, bananas and coconut are all great-for-you foods. There’s a little bit of honey and a splash of vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor but no dairy and no refined sugars. Don’t you just love that?!
So do yourself a favor and make one of these bad boys tomorrow morning. Or any morning but especially the morning you hit the snooze button one time too many, ahem…Adam. If you like this easy smoothie, try my healthy piña colada smoothies or dairy-free purple smoothies. If you’re looking for more oatmeal smoothie recipes, Oatmeal Smoothies 4 Ways is worth your while.
Enjoy this healthy breakfast smoothie!

I will definitely have to try this for my toddlers (and me of course!) – we’re getting bored of the same breakfast and this would be a great way to mix it up. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Visiting from Gator Mommy Reviews’ Weekend Recipe Link up Party 🙂

Wow! This is awesome! I tried it a while ago and I really enjoyed it. I loved the taste of the banana and the strawberries together with the oatmeal. Perfect combination.
Thanks Julieane! So glad you liked it 🙂
I think I’d jump out of bed in anticipation of one of these. I love all the goodness in there, and adding oats to smoothies is my favorite – filling and healthy!
That’s what I love about oats in smoothies, they fill you up so much!
Sharon
These smoothies look like the perfect way to start the day!
Thanks Arlene!
That’s the best when you create a recipe that you immediately fall in love with! I have a chia seed pudding recipe I’ve been eating every single day for almost a year. No kidding. We adore smoothies (and are always on the go in the morning with 2 littles)- will add this to our list!
I recently started using chia seeds, love them! I add them to this smoothie sometimes 🙂
Oh. Wow! How many times I day do you think I could drink one of these lovelies? Love this recipe!
Breakfast in a glass – I love it! I’ve made a similar one without the banana – that probably takes it to the next level!
This looks so deliciously creamy!
Oh man. This looks fantastic! I JUST discovered that you can put oats in smoothies like 2 months ago. How that was missed by me for so long I’ll never know! GREAT post!
It looks so wonderful. Oatmeal is a perfect powder. I have been using it for over 2 years. I love having it for my breakfast. I will try this recipe
Any idea what would happen if I added a handful of spinach to this smoothie?
It wouldn’t affect the taste too much (maybe add a touch more honey). The color might not be super appealing though.
I tried this recipe for my breakfatst and it’s very delicious. It’s sure a very healthy breakfast. Thanks for sharing, Sharon.
So glad you enjoyed it as much as I do!
This sounds lovely. Going to give this a go. thanks for sharing this recipe.
