Best Breakfast Smoothie!
Healthy breakfast smoothies are definitely a morning go-to on Team Fit Foodie, and we have officially dubbed this bad boy The Best Breakfast Smoothie because it truly is the best ever.
The combination of strawberries and bananas + protein powder + oatmeal + peanut butter is just the perfect mix to kick-start your day.
Is it healthy to have a smoothie for breakfast?
Smoothies are a healthy breakfast idea and pretty much any fruit smoothie made with whole ingredients such as fruit, seeds, nut butter, greens, etc. is a great option for breakfast!
Smoothie Preparation
We love having smoothie recipe ingredients on hand so that whenever the smoothie mood strikes, we’re ready. One of the easiest ways to prep for this ahead of time is to cut up your favorite fruit to use in healthy smoothies and get it in the freezer.
That way, you can grab already sliced fruit from the freezer when you need it and plop it right into your blender. Where are my thick smoothie fans?! Using already frozen fruit in your smoothies will help give them this delicious texture.
If you haven’t check out our posts on how to freeze bananas and berries, do it now!
What You Need
What does this smoothie taste like? Short answer- dessert! In my opinion, it tastes like a strawberry peanut butter shake, but it’s only 200 calories with 12g protein!
In order to make this smoothie, here’s what you need:
- frozen banana
- frozen strawberries
- rolled oatmeal
- protein powder – check out our fav protein powders.
- peanut butter
- almond milk (any kind of milk works!)
Can you put raw oats in a smoothie? You can put raw oats in a smoothie and in fact, we recommend it! Rolled oats add whole grains and a fabulous texture.
Want to make your breakfast smoothie recipes green? Simply add a handful of kale or spinach! You won’t even be able to taste it.
Healthy Smoothie Tips
Cut up and freeze fruit in Stasher Bags, meal prep containers or Ziplocs so you have it on hand when you want to make a smoothie
Choose a protein powder with a clean label. We’ve done the legwork for you and tested the most popular on the market. HERE are some of our faves.
Rolled oats are a great way to add nutrients, whole grains, and a little thickness to your smoothie
Healthy fats are another great addition to smoothies. A little peanut butter goes a long way!
Invest in a high-quality blender (we LOVE our Vitamix) so you don’t have to worry about getting any chunks in your smoothie!
We really mean it, get your sweet self a quality blender — it’s seriously one of the best kitchen investments we’ve made. We have a Vitamix, and love it because it acts as a blender, food processor and mixer all in one, basically getting the exact texture we’re looking for every. single. time.

Can I use chocolate protein powder instead? 😉
Yes, of course!
Awesome recipe! Everything with frozen banana is just so creamy 🙂 I usually leave out the protein powder, but it is still delicious.
★★★★★
Yes! This is literally my exact breakfast every morning for the last year. It’s so satisfying and delicious. I use a handful of spinach and almond butter instead of peanut butter 🙂 I get so much inspiration from your blog, thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to trying this recipe but have one question. The ingredients call for 2 tbsp of rolled oatmeal. Is this intended to be 2 tbsp of rolled oats (dry) or should I make oatmeal (perhaps overnight oats with the cup of milk) and us that?
Dry oatmeal! Throw it right in there!
The nutritional facts states 204calories for 1/2 serving? Am I reading that correctly? So the smoothie as it’s prepared is 408 calories?
That is correct!
Breakfast smoothies are the best.
thank you this is A life changer.
I’ve made this twice now. It’s my first time trying any sort of meal replacement drink. Taste wise, it’s really well done. I’ve never been a big fruit person, but this is a nice balance of fruit and peanut butter (which I had my doubts about first).
What is the best way to preserve/store half of it for a day or two? How well does it keep and should it be frozen or will it maintain its texture if it’s kept in a refrigerator overnight?
★★★★★
In my opinion, I like to drink my smoothies immediately! However, you could store it in the fridge and then blend it with a few ice cubes the next day!
Delicious and easy to make!

Hi I tried asking in another comment but would you use applesauce instead of bananas? And how many cubes of applesauce?
This smoothie taste soo good!
I’m finding that a lot of your most delicious looking smoothies have bananas in them. Unfortunately, I really really can’t stand bananas. Do you have any suggestions for what I could substitute for a banana, or any ingredients that typically mask their smell/taste? Thank you!
Hi! You can freeze cubes of applesauce or even use ice!
How many cubes of applesauce and do you still put the banana in also or just the ice cubes of applesauce?
Used almond butter and gluten-free quick 1 minute oats because of allergies and what I had available. You could taste the almond butter and wasn’t as sweet as the peanut butter might have been but just as good. Also, used Purely Inspired Organic Protein Powder. Loved It!
★★★★★
Love your swaps!
Hi, would this still work without the protein powder?
Absolutely!
How much flaxseed do you use?
This recipe does not call for flax, but if you’d like to add ground flax seed meal, I’d recommend about 1/2 tablespoon!
The recipe on this blog doesn’t but you video does. Just thought I’d through that out there. =]
This smoothie was amazing! I used Tone It Up protein powder in the peanut butter flavor and topped it with Purely Elizabeth granola (chocolate sea salt + peanut butter nut butter flavor). It was so delicious! I would pay money to eat this at a cafe. I bet it would taste yummy with some fresh fruit on top in the summer, though it doesn’t even need it.

Tried it today and it’s delish!!! Will be trying your different smoothie recipe every morning. Thank you!
★★★★★
YAY!! I hope you love them!
I’m new to the smoothie world. for 2019 I’m going to try to do better with my eating. So I figure I begin with eating breakfast instead of two cups of coffee. Anyway, do this smoothie make a lot? If it’s more than one serving, can I leave it in the fridge for day 2?
What are you recommendations for smoothies?
Hello! You can keep it in the fridge if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it! Smoothies made fresh are the best 🙂
Hey Lee, Love the recipe. I’m using cereal instead of oatmeal, sometimes.
★★★★
How did it take me so long to find this blog?! Thank you!!
Can this recipe be made ahead and stashed in the fridge or freezer for a day or two?
Hi Naomi! I would not recommend that!
You’re totally right about adding in frozen fruit with protein powder and a little peanut butter! Peanut butter or peanut powder has the most FANTASTIC nutty and comforting element. I’m obsessed with combining it with frozen blueberries, spinach, almond milk, cinnamon, Stevia, and protein powder!
Such a classic recipe! I make this almost every day!! But I save my protein powder for my morning tea!!
