Ingredient Notes

Rolled Oats

Old-fashioned rolled oats blend into a creamy texture while adding plenty of fiber and staying power.

Strawberries

Fresh strawberries provide natural sweetness and bright berry flavor. Frozen strawberries work just as well—just let them thaw slightly before blending if needed.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt makes these oats incredibly creamy while adding protein to keep you satisfied longer.

Milk

Use dairy or your favorite non-dairy milk like almond, oat, or soy milk. Add more or less depending on how thick you like your oats.

Sweetener

Honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sugar substitute all work well. If your strawberries are especially sweet, you may not need any at all.

Vanilla & Salt

A splash of vanilla enhances the strawberry flavor, while a pinch of salt balances the sweetness.

Tips for the Best Blended Oats

Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest flavor.
Start with 1 cup of milk, then add more until you reach your desired consistency.
Blend for at least 45–60 seconds for the smoothest texture.
Chill for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker oats.
Garnish with fresh strawberries, sliced bananas, granola, or chia seeds for added texture.

Variations

Chocolate Strawberry

Blend in a tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Banana Strawberry

Add half a ripe banana for extra sweetness and creaminess.

Peanut Butter Strawberry

Blend in a tablespoon of peanut butter for a PB&J-inspired breakfast.

Mixed Berry

Replace half the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.

Higher Protein

Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder and add a splash more milk if needed.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The oats will naturally thicken as they sit. Simply stir in a splash of milk before serving to loosen them back up.
