I love to make smoothie bowls, like my Pitaya Bowl, Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl, or Açaí Bowl but I’ve found a way to make them even high in protein.

This Banana Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie is a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make beverage that provides a protein boost and a perfect blend of flavors. It’s perfect for any time you need a healthy and satisfying refreshment.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Frozen Banana: A large frozen banana adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture. If you don’t have frozen bananas, you can use fresh bananas, but the smoothie will be less thick. Alternatively, you can use frozen avocado for a different texture and added creaminess.
• Frozen Strawberries: Strawberries provide a burst of flavor and antioxidants. If you prefer, you can use other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend.
• Oats: Oats add fiber and make the smoothie more filling. You can use rolled oats, quick oats, or even oat flour for a smoother texture. If you’re gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
• Milk of Choice: Soy milk is a great source of plant-based protein, but you can substitute it with other plant-based milks like almond milk, oat milk, or pea milk, though the protein content will probably be less.
• Peanut Butter: Natural peanut butter adds protein, healthy fats, and a delicious nutty flavor. If you prefer, you can use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter as alternatives. Do not use peanut butter loaded with sugar and oil.
• Yogurt: Use any plant-based yogurt you like, such as almond, coconut, soy, or cashew yogurt. Choose soy yogurt for the most protein.
• Vanilla Extract: This enhances the overall flavor of the smoothie. If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can skip it or use a small amount of almond extract.
• Maple Syrup: This natural sweetener is optional and can be adjusted based on your sweetness preference. If your fruits are very sweet, you might not need any additional sweetener. You can also use agave syrup or date syrup as alternatives.
• Flaxmeal or Hemp Seeds: These add extra protein and healthy fats. If you don’t have flaxmeal or hemp seeds, you can use chia seeds or leave them out entirely.

How to Make Banana Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie

You can prepare a smoothie bowl just the same way you prepare any smoothie.

Combine all the smoothie bowl ingredients in the jug of a blender.

Blend using the high speed setting until smooth and adjust the sweetness and texture.

Expert Tips

• Blending: If your blender is not very powerful, add the liquid ingredients to the blender first to help the blades move smoothly. Gradually add the frozen fruits, oats, and other ingredients.
• Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more soy milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice cubes.
• Chill Factor: Use frozen fruits straight from the freezer for an extra cold and refreshing smoothie. You can also chill your milk beforehand.
• Nutrient Boost: Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra vitamins and minerals without significantly altering the taste. You can also add a scoop of plant-based protein powder if you want an even higher protein content.
• Smoothie Bowl: Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top with a sprinkle of oats, fresh fruit slices, nuts, seeds, and a drizzle of nut butter for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
