These Oat Milk Smoothie recipes are sure to help you start your day off right! Packed with good-for-you-ingredients and delicious flavor combos, it’s hard to pick a favorite!
Gosh I love oat milk. It’s so creamy and definitely closest to the real thing. My favorite brand of oat milk is Chobani. They have several types, but I get the extra creamy, no sugar added and the regular. I use each one for different things. If I’m using the oat milk for smoothies, I usually like to go with the no sugar added option, for coffee and cereal, I go with extra creamy and everything in between and depending on my mood I just go with regular. Let’s make some delicious oat milk smoothie recipes!
Are oat milk smoothies good for you?
Let’s see, oat milk plus healthy fruits and sometimes veggies (like spinach)… sounds healthy to me! However oat milk can have higher fat content that other alternative dairy-free milks, but many brands have low-fat options. I also like that Chobani has a no sugar added option, something to consider if you want to reduce sugar intake. Oat milk offers several necessary nutrients such as: B Vitamins (Folate and Thiamin), Zinc, Copper and Magnesium to name a few. So if you’re wondering if oat milk smoothies are good for you, consider that you can count on oat milk as plant-based source of several necessary nutrients. Also, just keep in mind if you are looking to reduce the fat and sugar in your diet, you might want to go with a low-fat and/or no sugar added oat milk.
What goes good with oat milk?
I’m convinced that oat milk goes well with any fruit you might want to use in a smoothie. It’s creamy with a pretty neutral taste, making it a great option! As you will see below, I pair it with all sorts of fruits, cherries, berries, bananas, mango, even spinach!
How to make the perfect oat milk smoothie
Tips & tricks
Use a good blender. Every blender is a little different and we usually develop a sense of what it can handle. But it really helps to have a high-powered blender that can handle all that frozen fruit, occasional ice and sticky dates. I personally love my Blendtec blender.
Pulse before adding more liquid. Before adding more liquid, try taking the lid off and moving things around if things get stuck. Or try pulsing a few times. Sometimes this helps jostle things a bit for smoother sailing.
Use frozen fruit. This might go without saying but it’s best to use frozen fruit in smoothies. It keeps the smoothie nice and cold and minimizes any separation.
Add liquid first. Adding the liquid first helps the smoothie blend up more easily.

PB Date Banana
This is one of those smoothies that can easily double as a healthy dessert. It’s fairly sweet (thanks to dates and bananas) but there is no added sugar!

In this smoothie:
- Banana

- Peanut butter

Cherry Berry (an oat milk smoothie without banana)
This is my go-to oat milk smoothie. It’s packed with antioxidants (hello blueberries, strawberries and cherries!), I sweeten it with dates (which also add fiber), peanut butter and I even sneak a handful of spinach in if I have it. Spinach is optional so if you’re not into that, feel free to skip it! But I promise you won’t even know it’s there. I love to eat this smoothie topped with my favorite granola and more fresh fruit.
I like to make this extra thick since I eat it as more of a smoothie bowl. If you want it more drinkable, add an extra 1/4 cup of oat milk.
In this smoothie:
- Frozen blueberries
- Frozen strawberries
- Frozen Cherries
- Dates
- Nut butter of choice

Orange Peach Dreamsicle
While all other oat milk smoothie recipes in this post have been regulars in my kitchen for a while, this was a new one I came up with! And I love it! It’s bright, fresh and a delicious way to get a vitamin C boost! One unique addition to this smoothie: vanilla bean paste! If you haven’t tried it, it’s a great, cheaper way to get actual vanilla bean into recipes. It was a slightly sweeter flavor than straight vanilla extract. I like to use it in coffee and in cookie icing.
In this smoothie:
- Oranges
- Peaches
- Ice
- Oat milk
- Vanilla bean paste (affiliate link)
