A quick, nourishing, and kid-approved smoothie blending fresh strawberries, banana, oat milk, and oats for a naturally sweet, dairy-free breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) oat milk, unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (about 20 g)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice roughly. Peel and slice the banana into chunks. If using frozen strawberries, no prep needed.
  2. Measure 1/4 cup rolled oats and 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed. For smoother blending, pulse the oats alone in the blender for 15 seconds before adding other ingredients.
  3. Add strawberries, banana, oats, flaxseed, 1 cup oat milk, 1 tablespoon honey (if using), and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the blender. Add 1/2 cup ice cubes if a chilled smoothie is desired.
  4. Blend on low speed gradually increasing until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down sides if needed. If too thick, add a splash more oat milk.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a little more honey if desired, then blend briefly again.
  6. Serve immediately in cups with fun straws. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and stir before serving.

Notes

Pulse oats alone first for smoother texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Frozen fruit can be used for a thicker, colder smoothie. Honey and flaxseed are optional but add sweetness and nutrition. Store leftovers up to 24 hours refrigerated; stir before serving.
