Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal Smoothie

strawberries and cream oatmeal smoothie

I’m pretty sure we’ve talked about this before, but when I was a kid I used to go through serious food phases. One week I’d eat yogurt like crazy, the next: bagels! The next: instant oatmeal. Oh man. I remember the first time I ever had the ___ and cream oatmeal packets — I was pretty blown away. Strawberries and cream, especially, puts the apple-cinnamon’s of the world to shame. [Full disclosure: I actually love apple-cinnamon oatmeal].

This recipe comes from the ridiculous amount of love the Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie got. Seriously, you people must love your oatmeal smoothies! I thought about giving y’all a green smoothie, but decided strawberries and cream sounded perfect. It totally was!

Strawberries always taste so fresh and light, but when you add oatmeal to a smoothie it is immediately a hearty meal. I really have trouble finishing my oatmeal smoothies, which is an issue because if you leave them for too long they become more like oatmeal! I need to get some thicker straws…

I kept it super simple for this smoothie: frozen strawberries, yogurt, milk, and oatmeal. You could add a splash of vanilla if you wanted, or even a handful of spinach (I swear you won’t taste it!). Talk about a quick smoothie! 45 seconds later, you’re eating breakfast. BOOM.

    This looks great. Do you think I can use ice cream instead of yogurt?

    YUM. Trying it in the morning!
    Ok so one slight confusion.. Is the oatmeal just like the oats by themself? Not cooked, right?

    • Mary says

      3 May, 2013 at 11:55 am

      Yep – just oats! Totally uncooked!

        Just wondering can i use steel cut irish oatmeal? Does it make any difference?

        • Mary says

          I don’t think steel cut would work – they’re too thick! I’d stick to rolled oats (I’ve used both quick and old fashioned, either will work).

    Yes! I definitely remember those strawberries & cream oatmeal packs from growing up. And oatmeal is such a great smoothie ingredient. (I made a blueberry oatmeal smoothie for breakfast today and immediately wanted another one.) Your strawberry smoothie looks fantastic!

      Oooh blueberry oatmeal smoothie sounds delicious!

    I don’t have yogurt, would it still taste the same? What’s a good substitute?

    • Mary says

      30 June, 2013 at 10:12 pm

      Hmm. It will just be less creamy (just a strawberry smoothie) without the yogurt. Probably just as delicious, just a little bit different! Good luck!

    Ok I read your comment about the smoothie turning to oatmeal, would it make sense to “grind” the oats first in the blender then add the other ingredients? I cant wait to try this, I have been looking for a smoothie recipe without bananas forever.

    • Mary says

      11 September, 2013 at 3:39 pm

      You could if you want, but there is really no need! They are ground plenty when you grind the smoothie as a whole.

      I’m planning on making this smoothie soon but I don’t have vanilla yogurt only strawberry yogurt. Will that work ? Or does it have to be vanilla?

    No one ever gives the nutritional content. Is that available?

  9. Mary says

    Hi Shirley — the plugin I was using to display nutritional information was taken down by it’s creators, and I’ve yet to replace it… I know a lot of people care about it, so I will put it on my “to do” list! Sorry it’s not there yet!
