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.
Not only do you get your protein, a serving of fruit, and healthy fats, but this smoothie recipe tastes like dessert. I make this smoothie weekly, and I’m here to tell you it’s truly the best.
Why make breakfast smoothies?
Best flavor combo: The combination of strawberries and bananas + protein powder + oatmeal + peanut butter is just the perfect mix to kick-start your day.
Healthy breakfast idea: this healthy breakfast is high protein, made with real fruit, and packed with healthy fats.
High protein: 12g protein/serving. Yes, please!
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.

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.
Make it a GREEN breakfast smoothie!

Breakfast Smoothies 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.

This is what we have been looking for diet plan.

My husband and I always make smoothies for breakfast and this one is by far the TASTIEST and extremely filling. Thank you!
★★★★★
OMG!!! I tried this recipe, and it tastes incredible. My favorite smoothie recipe right now.
★★★★★
I thought the combination of peanut butter and strawberries would be weird but it is super good.
★★★★★
So glad you loved it!
Hello, I noticed that you did not include the flax seeds in the recipe. How much should I put in the smoothie? Also, how many ounces is considered one serving?
Currently sitting by my pool studying and drinking this amazingly fresh smoothie! It is the perfect amount to fill my yeti up. I prepped and put the frozen contents in a bag earlier this week which made this recipe even easier. Next time I will do a thin layer of p-nut butter and oats between the smoothie pour because I love the flavor and texture so much. Thanks for the great recipe, it’s a keeper for me! 🙂

Oh wow now I’m just jealous 😛
Excellent smoothie! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and I used KOS vanilla vegan protein powder. Would definitely make again!
★★★★
Thank you for this recipe! It was so delicious!! I will definitely make again.

Hi, lovely recipe, just wondered why you used strawberries instead of the likes of black or blueberries?
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!
Yeah it was a lil misleading to think the whole thing was only 200 and some odd calories. It’s a breakfast smoothie so you’d eat 400+ at breakfast anyway if you had eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast. JS
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?
