This smoothie contains sprouted oats and oat milk! It’s a healthy smoothie that is packed with nutrients and fiber.

Super Oat Smoothie

Good morning! Did you have a good weekend?

We had a really fun one here in London. I hosted a seven-course pop-up brunch  at our flat for eight people! I loved it and met some really interesting Londoners.

If you’re interested in nabbing the one of the recipes I served, here’s the recipe for Healthy Seed Granola.

Super Oat Smoothie

While the brunch happened on Saturday, it felt like it took me all through Sunday to recover (and finish putting away all the dishes). So when the alarm went off this Monday morning, it was unsurprisingly rough.

I needed a quick and easy caffeine-free boost, so thank goodness for this Super Oat Smoothie.

Add oats in smoothies for a healthy breakfast

Putting oats in my smoothie is one of my secret tricks for eating healthier. Oats help lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, control blood sugar, and aid in digestion.

I add oats just about every time I make a smoothie (the Californian Avocado Hemp Smoothie is another one of my favorites that contains oats).

I feel great for getting a bit more fiber and protein in our breakfasts.

And the best parts? No one can ever tell when I sneak oats in smoothies.

Use either rolled oats or quick cook oats in smoothies

You can add either rolled oats or quick oats in smoothies, but I tend to reach for the quick oats for the task. And to make the oats even less noticeable, soak them for about 30 minutes before blending into your smoothie.

It’s so easy to order these sprouted quick oats from Amazon. And they are a great price!

The average smoothie with just fruits and yogurt can be a tad too sweet for our palates, particularly in the morning. So as one would expect with oats, it can also serve to temper the flavor.

Why use sprouted oats?

Sprouting the oats makes them more lovable because the process releases vital nutrients. The process also makes the oats easier to digest and provides many health benefits. Sprouting oats means catching the sprouts during the germinating process.

According to a registered dietician at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,

“This germinating process breaks down some of the starch, which makes the percentage of nutrients higher. It also breaks down phytate, a form of phytic acid that normally decreases absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body. So sprouted grains have more available nutrients than mature grains.”

Using sprouted oats on a daily basis

While it’s possible to sprout your own oats at home, to avoid the hassle and save time, we simply purchase sprouted oats.

Sprouted oats are generally easily found in health stores or online.

These sprouted oats on are organic, gluten free, non-GMO and whole grain. They are also easy to use because they are quick cook.

You can use them in place of regular oats, so they are super handy to keep in the cupboard. It’s a staple grain that we often buy in bulk.

That way, every time we eat oats, we know we are getting oats that have more available nutrients.

Hope you have a great start to the week! If you’re looking for something to help you power through the week — Super Oat Smoothie to the rescue!

Serves: 2 small glasses
Prep: 5 mins
Total: 5 mins
This super oat smoothie is a clean and healthy way to start the day. Made with oats, oat milk, and yogurt.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sprouted quick cook oats (use a GF variety)
  • 3/4 cup oat milk
  • 1/2 cup yogurt (use Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency)
  • 1 date - pitted
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (or other berries as preferred)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Soak the oats in the oat milk overnight, or at least 30 minutes. This softens the oats.
  • In the morning, Put everything in a blender and mix until smooth.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

You can also make the smoothie without soaking the oats first, but I would recommend leaving the smoothie in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before drinking, to allow the oats to soften. The color of the smoothie will change as the banana browns though.

      The color is beautiful, isn’t it? I’ve made the smoothie several times again since I posted this recipe, and each time the color amazes me.

    Wow, I never would’ve thought to add oats to mute the sweetness! Such a great idea, and it adds fiber. Will definitely be trying this
