This avocado oatmeal smoothie is filling and delicious. It tastes like a cozy bowl of oatmeal, in drink form. Give it a try if you’re looking for nutritious drinkable breakfast recipes, like this creamy flaxseed smoothie, which is another good option.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Avocado gives this smoothie a rich, creamy texture. Be sure to use a ripe avocado. You’ll know it’s ripe if it gives slightly and springs back when gently pressed with your fingertips.

You can use any type of rolled oats you like in this smoothie. Either old-fashioned, quick, or instant all work.
I sweetened this smoothie with pure maple syrup, but you can substitute a ripe banana if you prefer.
I like to spice this avocado oat smoothie with ground cinnamon. You can omit it or substitute 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you prefer.
A pinch of sea salt enhances the flavors in this smoothie nicely. You can omit it if necessary.
How to Make an Avocado Oatmeal Smoothie
Add the ripe avocado, unsweetened milk of choice, rolled oats, cold water, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.
