I am always on the lookout for quick and simple ideas for our breakfasts and after school snacks. This Raspberry Oatmeal and Yogurt Smoothie recipe certainly fits the bill. And what kid doesn’t love a smoothie?
I love putting my blender to work – (I’ve blogged about it before in these recipes: Healthy Chocolate Dip, Homemade Apple Butter and Chocolate Hazelnut Spread and I can’t not include this awesomely easy 3 Minute Raspberry Sorbet recipe (even though I was using a different blender for that one).
When possible, I like to use greek yogurt in place of regular yogurt and I bet you could use almost any type of berry in this recipe and get great results.
Raspberry, Oatmeal and Yogurt Smoothie: (Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart)
- 1 cup ice
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon honey (or equivalent other sweetener)
- 1 cup juice or coconut water (I used almond milk)
- Add the oatmeal to the blender and pulse a few times
- Add liquid and yogurt to the blender, blend for a minute or two. (Make sure the oats are pulverized)
- Add remaining ingredients and blend on high power until all your ingredients are blended and smooth.

These are delicious! I realized after I started making these smoothies a few months ago that a 4 hour fridge soak is necessary to get the full effect of the oatmeal. I read it on The Yummy Life, and after I tried her recipes it really added to the flavor and now I Make my own with the same concept. They are also great to make ahead and freeze!! Thanks for sharing 🙂

What does the 4 hour fridge soak do?
Laurie@SimplyCreatingHome says
This is so pretty and sounds delicious and healthy, too. We love smoothies, but I've not ever added ground oats. They would be a great addition and would help keep us full longer. Thanks for the idea!

I had a cheap little Sunbeam food processor in college which I used to make healthy concoctions, including ones really similar to this with yogurt, oats, and fruit. My roomies thought I was weird….At last, reading your recipe (and the positive response to it), I feel validated! I'm sure your smoothies are delicious (your picture is enticing and artful, by the way…love it). Lynaea @ EveryDayBloom.com
