Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie blending fresh strawberries, ripe banana, soaked rolled oats, and creamy yogurt for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (frozen works too, skip ice if frozen)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats, soaked for 10 minutes in ½ cup (120ml) water or milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place ½ cup rolled oats in a small bowl or jar with ½ cup of your chosen milk or water. Let soak for about 10 minutes to soften.
  2. Hull and slice 1 cup fresh strawberries and peel and slice 1 medium ripe banana.
  3. Pour the soaked oats and liquid into the blender. Add strawberries, banana, ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional).
  4. Blend on medium to high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk if too thick and blend again.
  5. If desired, add a handful of ice cubes and pulse a few times until crushed and mixed in, being careful not to over-blend.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup if needed. Thin with additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time if too thick.
  7. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Soaking oats for at least 10 minutes is key for a creamy texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. If using frozen fruit, skip ice to avoid watery texture. For dairy-free, swap milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives. Add protein powder or nut butters for extra nutrition. Store smoothie in airtight container up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
