This Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie is packed with protein, fiber, and flavor to keep you full and kickstart your day.

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. Yum!
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.
How to Make Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Start your Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie by adding your blueberries to the bottom of your blender. I like using frozen so I don’t have to add ice.

Next add the banana, broken up to help with blending.

Followed by your oats.

And the flaxseeds, although you could also use flaxseed meal.

Then add the plain yogurt.

And the protein powder.

Finish with the cinnamon and nutmeg, before adding a bit of water to blend.

Blend together until smooth, adding more water or ice as necessary to achieve desired consistency.

Pour evenly into glasses to serve.

Garnish with additional banana slice if you’re feeling fancy, and enjoy your Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Smoothie!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you put raw oats in a smoothie?
Yep! You don’t have to cook oats before adding them to your smoothie.
Do fruits lose nutrients when blended?
Nope! Unlike juicing, blending fruit into smoothies retains all of the nutrients, fiber, and flavor.
Can you make this smoothie ahead of time?
You can make the smoothie and freeze it, then move it to the fridge to thaw to a drinkable consistency when ready to drink, or follow my instructions on make-ahead smoothie freezer bags!

Delicious! Very good. 👍
Does the oatmeal get stuck in a straw? Or do you blend that first?
I will definitely try this smoothie. It looks delicious. I love all the ingredients. I will definitely come back and share my experience .
I hope you love it Susan!
I make this all the time, but instead of water I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk
That sounds delicious, too!
Loved this smoothie! Thank you.
I’m so glad!!
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.
I’m so glad you found me!! Thank you so much for saying hi! And I’m so glad you enjoy the recipes and the smoothie – keep me posted if you try any others!
What would be a good substitution for yogurt?
Oil :)
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! :)
Just discovered your website. Loving it! Made this smoothie for breakfast today and it is sooo good! Thanks and keep them coming as well as any new tips on how to stay on track. Stephanie
Thank you so much for saying hi, Stephanie! I’m so glad you liked the smoothie!!
