I love smoothies. LOVE them. I’ve been drinking Green Smoothies on and off for a couple of months now, and while I love them I found myself needing something a little new – change it up a bit. While browsing Pinterest one day I came across someone making Oatmeal smoothies. I like Oatmeal….I like smoothies… The two together has to be as fantastic as it sounds, right? RIGHT.
This smoothie is AH-MA-ZING, and super filling. A perfect breakfast on the go. I’ve seen lots of different variations on them, but I was drawn to cherries. The maple flavor is amazing, but something easily cut if you want to lower the calories a bit. Here’s how to make it:
Cherry Maple Oatmeal Smoothie : Serves 1
- 1 cup frozen cherries (or any frozen fruit – I’d like to try peaches next time!)
- 1 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/2 cup of fat free plan Greek yogurt
- 1tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
Just put it all in the blender, warn you kids to plug their ears, blend and enjoy!
What fruit would you use to make one?

Can you put up your cabbage rolls or something you made with rice paper 🙂
