A quick and easy overnight oat smoothie made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for a wholesome and convenient breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ยฝ cup (45g) rolled oats (dry, old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • ยฝ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Place ยฝ cup (45g) of rolled oats into a mason jar or bowl. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) of your chosen milk. Stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  2. Peel and mash one ripe banana with a fork until smooth.
  3. Add the soaked oats and milk mixture, mashed banana, ยฝ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup to the blender. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until silky smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach preferred consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired. Optionally add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract and blend again.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before drinking if it settles.

Notes

Soak oats for at least 6 hours to avoid gritty texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smooth blending. Yogurt adds creaminess and protein; coconut yogurt can be used for dairy-free version. Adjust thickness with milk or ice cubes. Store smoothie in fridge up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
