Can you make a smoothie with oats?

Yes! You can make a smoothie with oats, and it’s a great idea.

It may sound a little odd at first, but when they’re blended, they’re hardly noticeable. They provide a dose of whole grains, protein and fiber. I think they really take the smoothie from being part of a meal, to making it the entire meal.

Strawberry Cottage Cheese Smoothie Ingredients

This strawberries and cream smoothie is made with just 6 simple ingredients:

  • Oatmeal – Be sure to use old-fashioned or quick-cooking, NOT steel cut oats!
  • Milk – Use your milk of choice. Cow’s milk will add an additional protein boost.
  • Cottage cheese – This gives the smoothie a boost of protein AND gives it that creamy flavor that we’re after in a strawberries and cream protein smoothie.
  • Frozen strawberries – Frozen is preferred as it helps make a frosty smoothie, but fresh can also be used, you may just need to
  • Honey – This is used to lightly sweeten the smoothie.
  • Vanilla paste – You can also use vanilla extract, but the paste adds real vanilla bean flecks!

How to Make Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

This healthy strawberries and cream smoothie is obviously SUPER easy to make.

Simply blend together all of the ingredients until smooth. You’ve got a nutritious breakfast that’s ready in less than 5 minutes!

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover strawberry oat smoothie in the refrigerator for up to one day.

Can you freeze smoothies?

You can also freeze leftover smoothie. I recommend freezing the smoothie in a blender bottle, then store in refrigerator overnight to let thaw. Give it a shake (the blender ball will mix it up without needing to blend it again) and drink up!

You can also re-blend to make the smoothie smooth again.

Turn leftover strawberry oatmeal shake into popsicles!

You can also pour any leftover smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

Substitutes + Nutrition

This cottage cheese protein shake is really filling thanks to the 19 grams of protein (without any protein powder!) and 6 grams of fiber. (If you use cows milk, you’ll have even more protein!)

If you want to swap out any of the ingredients and toppings, here are a few ways you can add even more nutrition into this smoothie:

  • Add veggies – If you like your smoothies with a bit of veggies, add 1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflower to the smoothie. Like my tropical smoothie with cauliflower, it’s impossible to detect and gives the smoothie bulk.
  • Dairy-free – If you want to make this strawberry smoothie with oatmeal dairy-free, simply swap out the cottage cheese for your favorite dairy-free yogurt or protein powder. It will change the flavor and texture a bit, but it will work!
  • Gluten-free – Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free as it’s an item that can often have cross contamination.
