Let’s be honest. When most people think smoothie, they imagine something thick, heavy, and borderline dessert. That’s not what I’m going for here. This oatmeal smoothie is light, drinkable, and ready in minutes.
It’s my go-to when I want something simple, gentle, and effective. No overload, no complicated combos. Just the essentials, done right.
And the key detail is at STEP 1 — it’s what makes this smoothie feel smooth and easy to digest instead of dense.

Utensils
- 1 Hand immersion Blender or small blender
- 1 tall glass or jar
- 1 measuring cup (or a simple glass)
- 1 tablespoon
- 1 spoon
Ingredients (1 serving)
- 25 g rolled oats (fine oats work best)
- 200 ml milk or water
- 100 g plain yogurt or skyr (optional but recommended)
- 1 pinch of cinnamon or vanilla (optional)
Preparation
STEP 1
Add the oats and liquid to the glass or jar first. Blend briefly until the oats are fully broken down.
👉 This prevents grainy texture and keeps the smoothie light.
STEP 2
Add yogurt (if using) and any flavoring.
STEP 3
Blend again for a few seconds until smooth and fluid.
Why this works:
This ratio keeps the smoothie light. Oats provide structure and mild satiety, liquid keeps it drinkable, and yogurt adds creaminess without weight.
FEATURED TOOL
Hand Immersion Blender
I recommend a hand immersion blender here.
It blends oats directly in the glass or jar, gives a smooth texture without overheating, and is perfect for quick, everyday smoothies with minimal cleanup.
This is the kind of tool people actually use daily.

2. Recipe Variations
- Fruit-free: keep it plain and add cinnamon
- Protein boost: use skyr instead of yogurt
- Vegan: use plant milk and skip yogurt
- On-the-go: add a bit more liquid and drink it thinner
3. Ultimate Tips
If you want this smoothie extra light, drink it slightly warmer than fridge-cold. Cold thickens oats more than you think.
