    Best dairy-free oat milk smoothie

    Oat milk is so good! I use oat milk for everything, from these oat milk pancakes to this oat milk chia pudding. It is the perfect, creamy dairy-free alternative to regular cow’s milk. That’s why I am so excited to share this delicious smoothie recipe.

    This naturally sweet and refreshing oat milk smoothie has five simple ingredients: oat milk, peanut butter, banana, cinnamon, and ice cubes. It’s the ideal snack, breakfast, dessert, or post-workout treat. Let’s not forget it’s also healthy, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free!

    You can even add college or protein powder to make it more of a meal and filling. Personally, I love this healthy smoothie as a late afternoon snack before dinner. It fills me up and leaves me feeling good.

    I cannot wait to hear your thoughts about my favorite smoothie recipe! I drink this oat milk smoothie and this banana peach protein smoothie at least five times a week.

    Why you’ll love this smoothie recipe:

    • It is made with five simple ingredients.
    • It tastes like a peanut butter snickerdoodle.
    • No sugar added! This smoothie is naturally sweetened with banana and oat milk.

    • No yogurt in this smoothie!

    • Made dairy-free and vegan.
    • It’s healthy and gluten-free.
    • Freeze ahead of time for meal prep.

    Ingredients needed & substitutions

    This snickerdoodle-flavored oat milk smoothie recipe is made without yogurt and calls for four simple ingredients and ice cubes. Here is a list so you have everything prepared:

    • Banana: Grab one large frozen banana and chop it up. This adds the best natural sweetness to this oat milk smoothie without needing to add any refined sugar! Plus, using a frozen banana makes this smoothie extra thick and creamy.
    • Oat Milk: You can use a store-bought brand like Oatly or use homemade oat milk. Use can substitute the oat milk with almond milk, cashew milk, skim milk, or 2% cow’s milk.
    • Peanut Butter: We add peanut butter for healthy fats and to keep you full! It also adds the best flavor. You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or sun butter if you are nut-free.
    • Cinnamon: This is my secret ingredient to making this oat milk smoothie taste like a snickerdoodle!
    • Ice: You’ll need 4 – 8 ice cubes to thicken this smoothie. This is an optional ingredient, but I recommend it.
    • Optional Add-Ins: Feel free to add 1 – 2 Tbsp chia seeds, 1 – 2 scoops of unflavored collagen, or 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder.

    Kitchen tools required

    You only need a few kitchen utensils to make this thick, creamy oat milk smoothie. Here is a list:

    • High-Speed Blender
    • Spatula
    • Measuring Tools: 1/2 cup and 1 cup.

    How to make an oat milk smoothie

    This dairy-free and healthy oat milk smoothie is so easy to make. Simply add all your ingredients to a high-speed blender, blend, and enjoy! Here are detailed step-by-step instructions with pictures for visual reference so any level cook can make them. The full recipe and ingredient measurements are at the bottom of this page in the recipe card.

    Step 1:

    First, add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, with optional add-ins.

    Step 2:

    Then, blend until smooth and creamy. To make a thinner smoothie, add more oat milk. To make a thicker smoothie, add a bit more frozen banana or ice cubes.

    Step 3:

    Finally, pour your oat milk smoothie into a glass and enjoy it for breakfast, snack, dessert, or a post-workout refuel!

    Expert tip for making a thick smoothie:

    Here are a few expert tips for making super thick and creamy smoothies:

    1. Use frozen bananas. Use a chopped-up frozen banana to help thicken your smoothie naturally without adding a ton of ice. This trick makes super thick and creamy smoothies rather than icy ones.
    2. Start with the minimum amount of oat milk. You can always add more oat milk if you want a thinner smoothie. Start with 3/4 cup and add from there.
    3. Add chia seeds. If you want to make this smoothie extra thick, add a tablespoon or two of chia seeds, which will help soak up the liquid.
    4. Add a few cubes of ice. I never add more than 8 ice cubes to my smoothie because it can make them “icy” and not creamy. But adding a few helps make them thicker.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use almond milk instead?

    Yes, you can use any milk in this recipe. If you do not have oat milk on hand, feel free to swap it out with almond milk, cashew milk, or regular 2% cow’s milk.

    Is this recipe vegan?

    This oat milk smoothie is vegan since there are no animal products used. Oat milk is 100% vegan as it is made from rolled oats and water.

    Is it gluten-free?

    Yes, this smoothie is 100% gluten-free. Make sure to use a “gluten-free certified” oat milk, like Oatly.

    Can I add protein powder?

    You can certainly add more protein to this pineapple mango smoothie by adding 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder or collagen.

    How long does oat milk last?

    Once you open a carton of oat milk, it lasts seven days if stored and sealed in the refrigerator.

    Can I double the recipe?

    Feel free to double or triple this oat milk smoothie recipe.

    Can you freeze a smoothie?

    You can freeze smoothies for up to 3 months. I like to freeze them in ice trays and store them in freezer-safe bags as “cubes.” When you are ready to enjoy, simply add to a glass and let thaw in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. You can also blend the smoothie ice cubes for a quick thaw.

    Is oat milk gluten-free?

    Not all oat milk brands are gluten-free. Ensure you buy “gluten-free certified” oat milk if you’re gluten-free. It’s essential to check that the oat milk is made from gluten-free rolled oats.
