Recipe Overview
This Easy Blueberry Peach Oat Smoothie is thick, creamy, fruity, and naturally sweet with a cozy hint of cinnamon. First, oat milk creates a smooth base. Then, frozen blueberries and peach slices blend with rolled oats and Greek yogurt to create a cold, milkshake-thick smoothie without needing ice. Because the oats add staying power, this one works well as a light meal replacement, not just a snack.
This smoothie is especially good for breakfast, a quick afternoon snack, or a refreshing drink on a warm day. In addition, it takes only a few minutes to make, which makes it an easy option for busy mornings or anytime you want something fresh and filling.

Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup frozen peach slices
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pour the 1 cup oat milk into a high-powered blender first. Adding the liquid closest to the blades helps the frozen ingredients blend more easily.
- Add the frozen blueberries, frozen peach slices, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and cinnamon.
- Secure the lid and begin blending on low speed. Gradually increase the blender to high speed.
- Blend for about 45 to 60 seconds, or until completely smooth and creamy with the oats fully broken down.
- Check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your blender, add oat milk 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again. Avoid adding too much because the smoothie should remain thick.
- Divide the smoothie evenly between two 16-ounce glasses. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
Helpful Tips
- Use fully frozen fruit for the thickest, creamiest texture.
- Add the oat milk first to help the oats and frozen fruit move more easily around the blender blades.
- Let the oats sit in the milk for 5 minutes before blending if your blender isn’t high-powered, so they soften first.
- Do not add ice unless necessary because it can water down the fruit flavor.
- Let very hard frozen fruit sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes if your blender struggles.
Drink Variations
- Make it richer: Add 1 tablespoon almond butter.
- Make it sweeter: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup.
- Add more protein: Blend in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder.
- Switch the milk: Use almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk.
- Make it dairy-free: Swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Add more spice: Include a pinch of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats? Yes. Quick oats blend a little more smoothly, though rolled oats give a slightly heartier texture.
Can I use fresh peaches or blueberries? Yes, but the smoothie will be thinner. For the best texture, keep the fruit chilled and consider adding a few extra ice cubes.
Can I use a different milk? Yes. Almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or regular dairy milk will all work well.
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time? It is best served immediately because smoothies can separate as they sit. You can measure the oats and frozen fruit into a freezer-safe container ahead of time, then add the milk and yogurt and blend when ready to serve.
How do I make the smoothie thicker? Use fully frozen fruit, avoid adding extra milk unless needed, and add a few extra oats.
