Smoothies with oatmeal are considered the most popular and are even recognized by nutritionists as one of the best breakfast options. The ideal balance of complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, the ability to use fruits and cope with the task of preparing a full-fledged vitamin cocktail in a couple of minutes - thanks to all these advantages they have won the hearts of many. But the benefits of oatmeal smoothies are not limited to benefits, because they are also one of the most delicious types of nutritional cocktails.
Benefits of Oat Smoothies
What makes oat smoothies an ideal breakfast option is, of course, their main nutritious ingredient – oatmeal. It has long become a classic breakfast porridge not only here, but also in the West. And this did not happen by chance. Enveloping, satisfying, light oatmeal retains all its advantages in an oat smoothie - a thick cocktail of homogeneous or almost homogeneous consistency, in which dairy products, juices, berries, fruits and vegetables are added to your favorite porridge in various combinations. This dish is a fairly light and dietary product, can replace a full meal, for example, breakfast, and is also balanced in the content of microelements.
Most often, oatmeal smoothies are considered as one of the breakfast options, but they can also become an energy snack, a healthy dessert, and even a PP dinner.
And:
- oat smoothies have a beneficial effect on digestion and normalize metabolism;
- this is a complete dish that meets all the canons of proper nutrition;

Oatmeal smoothies can be sweet and neutral, complex in composition and two or three components, with or without spices. Even in consistency, they are not so similar: some prefer a homogeneous smoothie, similar to a thick cocktail, others prefer a coarsely ground smoothie. And most often, the consistency and nature of the smoothie - gentle or rougher - depends solely on how you prepared the oatmeal.
Benefit
Nutritionists advise eating oatmeal because it is good for the body and figure. A smoothie with rolled oats contains a large amount of essential minerals and vitamins. The drink brings the following benefits to the body:
- Thanks to the presence of pectin in the flakes, waste and feces are removed from the intestines; their volume sometimes reaches 5–7 kg. Along with cleansing, metabolism and water metabolism are normalized. This helps remove excess fluid, which leads to swelling.
- Oatmeal contains a lot of protein, which is necessary for the development of muscle tissue. A weight loss cocktail gives you a feeling of fullness, so your appetite is muffled and your craving for sweets disappears.

- Dessert with rolled oats and bananas reduces stress levels.
Different approach – same healthy oatmeal
Smoothies with oatmeal are not at all as simple as they might seem at first glance. Of course, the combinations of oatmeal with other foods, fruits and vegetables that could be called tasty can be counted on one hand. But the oatmeal itself had an unexpected surprise in store. The thing is that oatmeal for smoothies can either undergo or not undergo heat treatment at all, be used crushed, grated or whole. And this creates almost unlimited possibilities for creating oat smoothies.
What oatmeal to use
Smoothies with oatmeal can be different not only in taste, but also in consistency. Some people like it smooth and creamy, others prefer a chunky shake. It depends on the preparation of the main ingredient.
Oatmeal is most often used to make smoothies. You can take regular or instant ones, the main thing is that they do not contain additives. They can be pre-ground, steamed, or added whole to a cocktail. The last option is the simplest and most useful. After all, oatmeal is not processed in any way, so it retains all its nutrients. This smoothie is coarse, fibrous, and rich in fiber.
IMPORTANT! The advantage of this method is that it is the fastest.
Oatmeal can be added to the blender bowl along with other ingredients
There are several other ways to use oatmeal in smoothies. All of them give the dish a special taste and consistency.
- Dry flakes can be added to the cocktail after being ground into flour. This can be done in advance and stored in a jar. The consistency of a smoothie with this oatmeal becomes soft and more liquid.
- Often the flakes are first poured with milk or kefir for 20-30 minutes and left to swell. This makes them softer, but does not deprive them of beneficial properties and fiber.
- Steaming is more suitable for regular Hercules. The cereal should be poured with boiling water or hot milk for 3-5 minutes. The smoothie acquires a creamy consistency.
- Cooked oatmeal adds thickness to the cocktail. Although it has less benefits, a smoothie prepared in this way is recommended for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is not recommended to cook the flakes for longer than 3-5 minutes, otherwise the dish will turn out tasteless.
If oatmeal is used instead of cereal, it must be boiled. It cannot be steamed, and grinding is also difficult. It takes a long time to cook the cereal; if you don’t do it in advance, such a cocktail will not become a quick dish.
Options for adding oatmeal to smoothies
Raw oatmeal. Of course, it makes more sense to call this option “dry”, but this name is quite suitable. With this approach, oatmeal is added to smoothies without any processing and is not brewed. Under the influence of the liquid ingredient, they swell and become soggy. The main thing in such smoothies is fiber and consistency. It's coarse, fibrous, and more interesting than cooked oatmeal.
Depending on whether raw oatmeal is ground or not, recipes are divided into three types:
- smoothie with oatmeal ground into powder or flour;
- smoothies with whole, unground oatmeal (use only instant oatmeal);
- smoothie with lightly ground instant oats.
Steamed oatmeal. With this option, any instant oatmeal or regular oatmeal is poured with a small amount of boiling water or boiling milk, left for a few minutes and added to the smoothie. The taste of such oatmeal is different from cooked porridge, the benefits are much greater, and the consistency becomes soft and more familiar.
Cooked oatmeal. It is not worth subjecting oatmeal for smoothies to a long cooking test. If you are not using instant cereal, try to cook it for 2-3 minutes anyway (at most, no more than five). Pour oatmeal into boiling water or milk, and then cook over low heat. Smoothies based on this type are the most aromatic, the most tender, but also the least healthy. But it has the best effect on the digestive system, especially for gastritis and ulcers.
The difference between these options is not only in taste and consistency. After all, the method of preparing oatmeal directly affects how much time you have to spend on the smoothie. The fastest recipes are with raw flakes. You will have to spend up to 10 minutes preparing steamed smoothies, and a little more to prepare a vitamin cocktail with boiled oatmeal.
Do I need to soak the flakes?
Thanks to the flakes, the mixture acquires the desired consistency and is ultra nutritious. Fiber-rich oatmeal is an ideal product for preparing a healthy meal. Although, he is often underestimated.
Oatmeal can be used in several ways to make smoothies.
- Add whole, unground instant cereal in dry form, without preparation or any processing. Thanks to the liquid ingredients in the drink, they will swell and become softer. The consistency of the finished dish will be slightly coarse and fibrous.
- Grind oatmeal without pre-cooking. Before cooking, grind them in a blender or coffee grinder to a very fine fraction, almost into flour. Store this preparation in a dry, airtight container. With the ground product, the smoothie will have a delicate texture.
- Another cooking option is to pre-soak the flakes. For this you can use water, juices, dairy and fermented milk products. If you prefer this method, you should take into account the additional time spent. On average, the flakes are soaked for 5-15 minutes. This pre-treatment will make the smoothie texture creamier and thicker.
You can use regular rolled oats for the dish. But it should be boiled first, according to the recommendations on the package.
You can add oatmeal to smoothies not only in its pure form, but also in a mixture, for example, with flax seeds and other ingredients.
Additions for oatmeal in smoothies
It is clear that smoothies with oatmeal consist of more than just oatmeal. Their mandatory components also include:
Dairy products. Most often, oat smoothies are prepared using milk, kefir, unsweetened yogurt or other fermented milk products. But cream or sour cream (even low fat content), ice cream, and sweet types of yogurt should not be used. For those options where you don't want dairy ingredients, use natural juice or green tea as the liquid.
Fruits or vegetables are a vitamin supplement that also enriches the smoothie with fiber, antioxidants, and minerals. You can use either a single ingredient from this category or create a multi-component assortment of fruits and vegetables, which will turn the drink into a real vitamin bomb. But it is worth remembering that oatmeal is a simple product. And sometimes a minimum of additions allows you to achieve a much more appetizing result.
Oatmeal smoothies are most often made with banana, strawberry and apple. This trio is the perfect addition to oatmeal in any dessert or morning porridge. And smoothies are no exception: classics are always the best choice for oat smoothies. The proven taste will be an excellent basic option for breakfast every day.
But the possibilities are not limited to traditional ingredients. Oatmeal smoothies can also be prepared with other fruits and berries, and even vegetables:
- cherries;
- kiwi;
- blueberries, lingonberries, cranberries and other berries;
- carrots.
The selection of ingredients has its own secrets:
- try to mix sweet and unsweetened ingredients - a more diverse taste will ideally complement oatmeal;
- do not be afraid to use sour fruits and berries - oatmeal compensates for all their shortcomings and reveals the taste in a new way;
- fruit juices will only be beneficial, and in any recipe;
- don’t be afraid to deviate from proportions and be guided by your taste.
