Green Breakfast Smoothie With Oats

Start strong with a Green Breakfast Smoothie With Oats, a quick, creamy, dairy-free drink made with wholesome spinach, banana, oatmeal, and peanut butter.

This vegan green shake is ready in minutes and perfect for busy mornings.

If you love this recipe, you'll also enjoy my green protein smoothie and crisp spinach apple cucumber smoothie.

Smoothie recipes like this green breakfast smoothie with oats are ones I make regularly because they're simple, nourishing, and surprisingly filling for such a quick recipe.

On mornings when I forget to prep my overnight oatmeal the night before, this creamy spinach oats smoothie always saves the day.

The texture is thick yet smooth, with a naturally sweet banana flavor balanced by hearty oats and nutty peanut butter, making it taste like comfort in a glass.

I'm such a green smoothie lover that I like to mix things up with my pineapple mango spinach smoothie, refreshing parsley smoothie, or energizing spirulina protein smoothie - all tasty, nutrient-packed options to match any mood or morning.

🍌Ingredients and Substitutions

• Rolled oats: I used rolled oats for a thick, hearty smoothie, but quick oats work too if that's what you have.
• Spinach: Both baby spinach and regular spinach blend well, so use whichever you prefer.
• Ground flaxseeds (flaxseed meal): They add creaminess and healthy fats, but you can easily swap them with chia seeds.
• Peanut butter: I love the flavor, but almond or cashew butter works just as well.
• Banana: I like using frozen bananas because they makes the smoothie cold, refreshing, and naturally sweet.
• Date: Adds a caramel-like sweetness, but you can substitute it with maple syrup or agave.
• Lemon juice: Balances out the spinach and brightens the flavor.
• Dairy-free milk: I used almond milk, but soy milk, oat milk, or any plant milk you love will work.

As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.
