This Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie satisfies breakfast AND sweets cravings alike!
I LOVE a good smoothie, especially on busy days when I can make it and take it with me in less than 5 minutes.
This one combines oats, dates and warming cinnamon spice for a delicious sip!
I generally enjoy smoothies for breakfast but lately have been making them my afternoon snack too.
Enjoying smoothies as a snack:
When I crave something sweet this smoothie completely satisfies my sweet-snack cravings AND fills me up until the next meal!
I love the combination of oats, cinnamon and almond butter for some serious cookie flavour.
What delicious and healthy ingredients are in this Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie?
Almond Milk: A great neutral flavour for this smoothie but you can also substitute regular milk or another plant-based milk (oat milk would work great!)
Vanilla Protein Powder: I especially like to use Botanica Health’s plant-based protein powder if I’m enjoying this smoothie post-workout and to keep me full for a couple of hours.
Dates: Are a great source of antioxidants and fibre.
Almond Butter: Adds a bit of protein and healthy fats to this smoothie.
Cinnamon: Brings all the flavours together.
Maple Syrup: Adds a little sweetness and is a great natural sweetener.
Rolled Oats: Makes this smoothie hearty and enhances the oatmeal cookie flavour.
Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder

- 4 ice cubes

Instructions

Substitutes for protein powder: This smoothie gets its slight hint of vanilla from the Botanica Health Vanilla Protein Powder. However, if you’d prefer to use something else, try vanilla yogurt or add extra oats and a dash of vanilla extract.

Skipped the ice because I don’t like it in smoothies and just added another spoon of protein powder. My dates were old so I had to blend for longer. This was SUPER delicious. Hit the spot for me and my two buddies!

I love to hear this! It’s so great that you were able to make the smoothie your own too with some tweaks – so glad you enjoyed it!
