Your smoothie queen has returned with yet another delicious recipe to add to your morning routine! This Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie will quickly become your favorite. Why? Because adding oats seals the deal and makes the whole thing taste like pie. Not lying, it’s thick and creamy and tastes like blueberry pie. And if you like smoothies that taste like pie, give my Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie or Peach Protein Smoothie a try!

Why You’ll Love This Smoothie

  • It’s nutritious and filling, so you won’t be hungry till lunch.
  • Extremely easy to make, and can be done in less than 5 minutes!
  • Super easy to customize with what you have!

Ingredients

  • Blueberries: Fresh or frozen, they are chock full of antioxidants and are sweet with just a bit of an acidic taste.
  • Banana: Creamy and sweet, bananas taste great with blueberries, and are a great way to naturally sweeten smoothies.
  • Oats: I usually use quick or old-fashioned/rolled oats, but you can use whatever you have on hand! Even steel-cut.
  • Yogurt: Plain yogurt contributes to the creamy texture while helping it blend. Use Greek yogurt for an extra protein punch.
  • Protein powder: I use vanilla flavor, but whether it’s whey or plant-based, it’ll help keep you full.
  • Flaxseed: Flavorless, but adds fiber and most importantly omega-3s.
  • Cinnamon: Adds sweet flavor and a load of antioxidants.
  • Nutmeg: Sweet, woody, nutty taste that contributes to the smoothie tasting like pie.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yep! You don’t have to cook oats before adding them to your smoothie.

    Does the oatmeal get stuck in a straw? Or do you blend that first?

      I make this all the time, but instead of water I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk

    Found you via a “fell off the wagon” post on pinterest. So many great recipes here, I jumped right up to make this tasty smoothie. I have tons of wild alaskan blueberries we picked last fall and this certainly puts them to good use. I substituted almond milk for water, no ice since my berries were frozen and snuck in a handful of spinach too :) I had never tried oatmeal in a smoothie before, love it and the kids (age 6&7) do too.

        What would be a good substitution for yogurt?

          Omit yogurt…this is like the smoothie I have been making for over 12 years! I use chia seeds in mine not flaxseed or yogurt

    Thanks for the recipe! May I ask what kind of protein powder you use? I worry it will make me “bulk up” which is the opposite of what I want to accomplish! :)
