Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Start by toasting 30g of the oats in a dry frying pan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they become fragrant and slightly golden. This optional step adds a wonderful nutty flavor that complements the sweetness of the peaches. Allow the toasted oats to cool completely before using.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add all the oats (both toasted and untoasted) to your blender and pulse several times until they become a fine powder. This creates a smoother texture and helps the oats incorporate better into the liquid ingredients.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Pour in the almond milk and let sit for 5 minutes. This brief soaking allows the oats to begin absorbing some of the liquid, which will create a creamier final texture with less grittiness.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Add the remaining ingredients - Greek yogurt, peach slices, frozen banana, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and ice cubes - to the blender. The frozen banana helps create a thick, milkshake-like consistency without watering down the flavor.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed. The smoothie should have a velvety texture with no visible oat pieces.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses for the most refreshing experience. For a special presentation, garnish with a few slices of fresh peach, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a small drizzle of honey on top.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. If you need to make ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and give it a good stir before serving, as natural separation may occur.</li></ol>

Chef’s Notes

A few helpful details for making this recipe.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time for busy mornings?

Yes! Prepare the smoothie the night before and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Natural separation may occur, so give it a good stir before enjoying. You can also freeze the prepared smoothie in ice cube trays for longer storage.

What are the best peaches to use for a creamy breakfast smoothie?

Ripe, juicy freestone peaches work best as they blend more easily and offer the sweetest flavour. Yellow peaches provide that classic peachy taste, while white peaches add subtle floral notes. If fresh peaches aren't in season, thawed frozen peaches work wonderfully too.

How can I make this oatmeal smoothie suitable for different dietary needs?

This versatile smoothie adapts easily to different diets: use plant-based yogurt and milk for vegan options, certified gluten-free oats for coeliac-friendly versions, or maple syrup instead of honey for strict vegans. For extra protein, add a scoop of your favourite protein powder.
