I’m addict to adding oats in my smoothies for breakfast. I make this creamy and refreshing smoothie almost as frequently as my Banana Apple Oatmeal Smoothie. Oats are high in fiber and protein while adding a mild flavor and creamy texture. Why not add more protein and fiber where you can? Especially to give you a boost in the mornings.
You can make this smoothie in less than 5 minutes (I timed it). I want to make healthy tasty and quick for you! I also added Chia seeds and an organic carrot. Just like the oats, they are mild in flavor but add rockin’ nutritional value. Please purchase organic carrots. One day I was eating a raw carrot (not organic), and I noticed my tongue start to tingle. Not only that, but I had a weird aftertaste which resembled something like soap not a carrot. Carrots have a thin skin which allows them to absorb pesticides, chemicals, and other nasty stuff. They’re actually pretty cheap too!

Oh this looks so good! I have never thought of adding oats to a smoothie.
Summer, oats make it really creamy. I love adding oats to my smoothies especially in the morning.
Random question: Why quick oats? They are more processed than regular/rolled oats and have less nutrition content. Can you use regular/rolled oats instead?
Kareena, you definitely can try regular rolled oats. I don’t think the texture comes out as smooth and creamy, but you definitely can substitute with rolled oats.
