Have busy mornings and no time for a hearty breakfast? This Banana Apple Oatmeal Smoothie is the perfect grab-and-go solution that will keep you full and energized. You can make it fresh in minutes or prepare it the night before—either way, it’s creamy, satisfying, and naturally sweetened with fruit.
Because oats continue to absorb liquid, the smoothie may thicken after resting in the fridge. Simply stir in a splash of milk or water and blend again to bring it back to your desired consistency.
The best part? This recipe is versatile. Stick to the basics—bananas, apples, oats, cinnamon, and milk—or customize it with your favorite ingredients. Try blueberries, strawberries, almond milk, or even coconut milk for a new flavor twist.
No matter how busy your mornings get, fueling your body matters. This Banana Apple Oatmeal Smoothie is quick, portable, and delicious—your new morning favorite straight from the Food For Your Good test kitchen.
INGREDIENTS

2 medium green apples, cored and halved

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare ingredients:
Peel the bananas and core the apples. Make sure the oatmeal is cooked to a soft, liquid consistency.
2. Blend the smoothie:
