Very good smoothie. I did cut the oatmeal in half and processed it. Very versatile and tasty.

Quick, easy, hearty. Although I ground the oats & blended until smooth, it still felt a little chalky.

This was good only thing I did different was only 1/2 tsp of sugar and no vanilla (not a big fan) things I would change, cut back on oatmeal a bit

What a great way to get the healthy benefits of oatmeal if you don't like it. I just made this today and it was so good and I couldn't tell I was drinking oatmeal. I followed the ingredients but omitted the sugar. It didn't need it. I had frozen rasberries on hand so used them insead of strawberries. Any frozen fruit would work. Since I am lactose intollerent I have to use lactose free milk. I had chocolate on hand so I used that. It couldn't haven't been tastier. I put the oatmeal in my Magic Bullet to pulversize it, added the milk (I cut the recipe in half because I only wanted one serving but I still used l cup of milk because I wanted it thinner) berries, banana, vanilla, and bingo - a new delicious, healthy drink. Thanks Astrophe!

So tasty and filling! I used one container of vanilla low fat yogurt (I like Activia) and 1/2 cup 1% milk as I didn't have soy milk. I used about 1/3 cup oats and I ground the first before adding the rest.

This was delicious and my kids couldn't tell it had oatmeal in it! I ground it really fine in the blender before I added everything else, like other's had suggested! Thank you for the great recipe!

I eat oatmeal year round and found I like this smoothie better if I cook the oatmeal in the microwave first to absorb the liquid, then put it in the blender along with the frozen fruit, banana and additional milk. Pre-cooking the oatmeal prevents the gritty texture and also the extra thickening that occurs when the uncooked ground oats start absorbing the liquid. Much smoother texture this way and only adds about three extra minutes to the process.

YUM! I've made this twice. The first time I made it with whole milk. The second I used goat milk due to allergies ( it was creamier than the milk version) and I used honey instead of sugar. My children just love this. I even added a handful of spinach the second time when we had it for lunch. You couldn't even taste a difference!
