Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothies
You guys totally love your oatmeal smoothies. My Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothies were my fourth most popular recipe on the blog in 2015 and my Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothies just missed the list of Top 10 Recipes from 2015.
And this Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie recipe has been super popular on Pinterest.
I’m sure these Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothies will be just as popular. Because really, who could resist a little chocolate peanut butter combination in the morning? Especially when it’s for something that’s not going to cause you to cheat on your 2016 healthier eating goals. You’re more than welcome ☺️☺️
I’m a really big fan of oatmeal smoothies in the morning. The oatmeal really makes the smoothies filling so they truly keep you satisfied until lunch. I often find that if I have a regular smoothie for breakfast, I’m hungry shortly after.
That’s not the case with these chocolate peanut butter oatmeal smoothies. They provide protein from the 1% milk, oats, and peanut butter, provide enough carbs to help keep you fueled, and are sweetened with just enough honey.
I used Quaker Gluten Free Oats for this smoothie and they worked out really, really well. I actually prefer these quick oats in smoothies over the old fashioned oats that I had previously been using.
Quaker Gluten Free oats are rolling out and will be readily available nationwide this month. With nearly 140 years of oat expertise and as leaders in oat milling, Quaker has confidently been able to provide gluten free oats to those who need them. And don’t worry, the gluten free oats have the same great taste and texture as traditional Quaker Oats.
The gluten free varieties will include the Quaker Quick 1-Minute Oats (which I used in this recipe) and Quaker Instant Oatmeal single-serve pouches in Original and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors. You can read more about their oats and the process on my Quaker Summit Re-Cap post.
I’m also giving away a Gluten Free Recipe Inspiration Kit. One lucky winner (from the US) will receive a chic tote, a custom ‘Love Oatmeal’ spoon, an apron, a portable microwavable oatmeal bowl, and the three varieties of Quaker Gluten Free Oats (Quick 1-Minute Oats 18 oz. canister, Original Instant Oatmeal single-serve pouches, and Maple & Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal single-serve pouches).
You guys, I have the spoon and it is Ah-dorable. It’s pictured here covered in peanut butter but it’s the cutest little stamped spoon. <LOVE> You can enter via the giveaway form below. Good luck and enjoy!

Can you use unsweetened vanilla almond milk in this recipe
Yes, you can use any milk you’d like.
This is the best healthy smoothie I’ve tried ever! It’s like the only one I look forward to having! Xxx
My son likes this, also I added a little flax and he said it was VERY filling. it’s a lot of oats! He hates banana so he never has any with us.
I’m glad your son enjoyed this smoothie 🙂
This is delicious! I’m gluten free and dairy free and this is just what I needed. It tastes like a candy bar, but it’s a healthier version! Thanks so much for the recipe.
You’re welcome!
This was delicious!! Thank you
You’re welcome!
Could you substitute normal rolled outs for the quick oats in this recipe? If so, would I have to change anything?
Yes, just blend the oats first before adding anything to grind them up finer.
I just found this recipe and loved it! I have honey collagen protein powder so I added that instead of actual honey and a large handful of spinach. This is a new go-to for me, especially since we never seem to have any bananas.
Just made this this morning. I used lactaid skim milk. It was delicious but think I’ll need to share it with my daughter. Too much for me to drink. Even hubby tasted it and liked it. Thank you for sharing.
From a 12-year-old’s perspective ( I am 12 years old ), it was really good! I didn’t grind the oats first and the smoothie turned out slightly grainy. Otherwise, the smoothie tasted great! ( I was also out of bananas XD )
Possibly a foolish question but is the measure of oatmeal before or after grinding in the blender?
I measure it before grinding in the blender 🙂
So I just want to say THANK YOU! I am allergic to strawberries and despise bananas so most breakfast smoothies are out for me. This is super yummy, I added coffee to it and it is exactly what I was looking for!
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of the tastiest smoothies I’ve had! I substituted the honey for 1 banana and a couple of dates for sweetness and added fibre. I also added a shot of coffee for that extra morning boost!
Simply delicious – thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks Emma!
I made this this morning, it is so delicious and filling. I didn’t even get hungry until 4:00 p.m.!
That’s great Bobbi! So glad you liked it!
Do you know how many calories this smoothie would be with using soy milk? I really need to keep track of my calorie intake and I love this smoothie
Do you think this would be okay if it was made the night before then refrigerated?
Hi Holli,
Did you give this a try, keeping it overnight? Would be very interested to hear how it turned out. I was hoping to make these for my son’s hockey team for their bus trip, we’ll keep them in the cooler.
Thanks!
Tracey
I haven’t tried it but I think it would get very thick. The smoothie thickens up as it sits (due to the oatmeal). You could try it and let me know how it works out for you. And if it does get too thick overnight, you could always add more milk in the morning to thin it out.
Do you use just regular cocoa powder or does it need to be all natural?
I use just regular cocoa powder 🙂
I love chocolate and peanut all day! I will definitely be enjoying this smoothie at more than just breakfast! 🙂
It’s definitely great any time of the day!
All of my favorite ingredients in smoothie form – count me in!
My kind of smoothie. Love adding oatmeal to them. It keeps you full longer 🙂
Yum! What a flavor combo that can’t be beat! I love smoothies, and for some reason, don’t often think of these flavors! I will now! Love the oatmeal in this, too!
I’m a HUGE fan of peanut butter and chocolate and now I can eat it guilt free=for breakfast!
Chocolate smoothie for breakfast – now that’s my kind of start to a day! Love this!
I am obsessed with oatmeal smoothies lately! Loving the chocolate, peanut butter combo!
I love to have chocolate oatmeal with peanut butter for breakfast!
I am in love with this! I love that it incorporates oats and has chocolate and peanut butter– my two favorites!
My favorite way to eat oatmeal is with candied kumquats and grade B maple syrup. Mmm. And a side of bacon… !
I like to add applesauce, which is never in short supply in our fridge. The applesauce is very smooth, especially if you have a sore throat.
Anything with chocolate and peanut butter makes me swoon. I love that I can eat my favorite flavors for breakfast with this nummy looking smoothie!
I’ve heard of quaker going gluten free for their oats. Have you had any prolems with it?
You have made me one happy person! I love oatmeal in the morning and this looks wonderful. I have to switch out the honey for maple syrup but I am sure that will be delicious too. Thanks!
I love putting oatmeal in smoothies because it adds so much texture and makes it even richer! This looks delicious!
Ah yes! I recently just tried oats in smoothies! It’s a nice way to make them more filling and “breakfast” worthy!
I need to add oats to my smoothies more – I rarely think to do so. chocolate peanut butter cannot be beat!
How refreshing! We both love oatmeals for breakfast and add those with fruits and almond milk. As for myself, I add oatmeals with chocolate. This oatmeal smoothies recipe is definitely one of my faves and love to give it a try!
I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning and I love to add bananas, walnuts, dried cranberries, cardamom and honey.
What an incredible breakfast recipe! I love oatmeal, chocolate, peanut butter and smoothies, so why not put them all together? I never thought of that!
Delicious breakfast! I’d heard of the Quaker gluten-free – truly exciting info. for all needing gluten-free. Great for baking and breakfasts.
I am so excited that I have everything to make this today!
Thank you,
Chrystal
happy day when that happens!
so great that adding oats to your smoothie ups the fiber factor! this combination of chocolate and peanut butter sounds almost like dessert. i’m in. 🙂
My husband drinks it with 1% milk instead of the coconut milk and it’s almost like a milkshake, it’s so good!
