Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie – All the fiber and staying power of a bowl of oatmeal, but in an easy, portable, drinkable form. Bonus – there’s greens in there!

Fuel Your Morning

Do your mornings feel hectic? Do you often have plans to eat a healthy, filling breakfast, but never seem to have the time to make it happen? I feel your pain, friends! With 3 kids, their activities, my schedule, etc., sometimes a proper breakfast at the kitchen table just doesn’t happen.

That’s why smoothies sometimes feel heaven sent. Your kids think they are drinking a milkshake and you can cram all the nutrition in there that you can imagine.

This Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie (full of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals) will fill you all up for your morning ahead and keep everybody happy.

Eat Your Fruits & Veggies

You know what’s great? Green smoothies that aren’t green.

You know why? Because sometimes kids (and adults – you know who you are) are turned off by foods/drinks that are green.

I’m not sure why – green is such a beautiful color, but whatever, I get it. So, pack in those greens in your smoothies and then use vibrantly colored fruits to cover them up!

I chose spinach for this Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie because it’s nutrient profile is especially impressive. It’s incredibly high in vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium…it’s even high in protein and omega-3 fats. Wow! You WANT your kids to eat this leafy green, but I bet they don’t want to eat it plain, amiright?

Take it On-the-Go

Another bonus with smoothies – they are super portable. Not only do we not have time to sit and eat breakfast some days, but sometimes we don’t even have time to slurp it down before we are running out the door.

No problem – pour this into your favorite to-go cup and have breakfast on the way. Fueling on the go – what could be easier?!

Don’t think this oatmeal smoothie is JUST for frantic mornings, though. If you do have time to sit, go ahead and enjoy this alongside a piece of toast spread w/ nut butter or whatever else your tummy desires.

    I’m confused. Half a cup of oats alone is 150+ calories and the total listed calories is 194. By my calculations following the recipe listed the total calories is around 420 calories.

    Thank you for this! I wanted to make my daughter a smoothie for breakfast and I was all out of frozen bananas. Perfect!

      Great! So glad you liked it! Cashews, avocado, and even white beans all make great thickeners for smoothies too! Enjoy!

    • Jenn S. says

      Sure. You might need to re-blend it with a little extra plant milk as the oats will probably thicken up as they sit, but it will still be delicious. Enjoy!

      I would love to try this recipe but I am allergic to maple! Can I just leave out the maple syrup or put something else in its place?, if so what?

      • Jenn S. says

        Hi, Jennifer. You can just leave it out. Or you add a few pitted dates for a bit of sweetness. Enjoy!

    I don’t think I’ve ever had an oatmeal smoothie before but I totally should! This sounds and looks so delicious! Yum! Must be super filling too. Definitely a great breakfast smoothie 😉

      I love the flavor oats add to smoothies! I’m thinking of making a smoothie right now as a matter of fact – need an afternoon pick me up. This one will probably have lots of kale though because that’s what’s staring at me every time I open my fridge. 🙂

      Oooh, perfect! Thank you, Leah! It is definitely filling, but that doesn’t stop me from having more than my fair share. 🙂

    It really is a lovely shade of purple for having sneaky spinach blended in. I could see myself getting carried away, shoving handfuls of spinach into the blender, end up with pond sludge color, quickly sip it down far away from instagram, but still enjoy every sweet blueberry sip! Such a perfect breakfast,t blueberries are one frozen fruit I always have on hand 🙂

      LOL!! I have made plenty of pond sludge colored smoothies as well that I happily slurp down without anyone being the wiser. 🙂

    I was sitting here, eating my breakfast, when your blog came up with this awesome recipe. And now I’m running to my kitchen to see if I have enough blueberries! Thanks for sharing! I will hopefully be drinking this later on this morning 🙂

      That’s funny! I did the EXACT same thing the other day when I saw someone post an Apple Pie Smoothie. I think I made it 5 minutes later. Hope you like this one! 🙂

      OMG, a friend of mine just brought my attention to the fact that I forgot to put the oatmeal in the ingredient list!! AGH! I updated it. I’m sure it would be just as good without, but then the name wouldn’t be quite right. LOL! This is what I get for trying to type up 4 posts at one time. I better go check my others that are scheduled for later this week. 🙂
