Strawberry smoothies are often delicious… but not always filling. That’s exactly why I add oats. This strawberry oatmeal smoothie keeps the fruity freshness while adding real staying power.
I like this version because it’s light, not overly sweet, and easy to adapt. Perfect when you want something refreshing without a sugar crash afterward.
There’s a small trick at STEP 2 that improves the texture — even if you don’t use a blender.

Utensils
- 1 Blender or 1 mixing bowl
- 1 fork (to mash strawberries if needed)
- 1 whisk or spoon
- 1 measuring cup (or a simple glass)
- 1 tablespoon / teaspoon
- 1 serving glass or jar
Ingredients (1 serving)
- 150 g fresh strawberries (hulled)
- 30 g rolled oats (fine oats preferred)
- 200 ml milk or water
- 100 g plain yogurt or skyr (optional but recommended)

Preparation
STEP 1
If using a blender, add the oats first and blend briefly to break them down.
STEP 2
If not using a blender, finely chop or mash the strawberries with a fork.
👉 This step improves texture and prevents chunky bits.
STEP 3
Add oats, milk or water, yogurt, and chia seeds.
STEP 4
Blend until smooth or whisk vigorously until well combined.
Why this works:
Strawberries bring freshness and natural sweetness. Oats slow digestion and improve satiety. Yogurt or skyr adds protein and creaminess for better balance.
