hmmm maybe there were too many oats or something?
i like plain greek yogurt, coconut milk, ice cubes, bananas, blueberries and berry protein powder. i have never tried a smoothie with oats but i eat oatmeal almost every day for breakfast0 -

Skip .. broccoli, pears and apples. They all suck in smoothies, especially the broccoli.0

maybe because there wasn't anything to thin it out like water, ice cubes or milk and it could have been too overpowering with the oats. was it the texture or just the taste?0

yogurt, frozen fruit and a few ice cubes. you can add protein powder if you want.
alternatively, you can use rice or almond milk in place of yogurt if you are lactose sensitive.
i also add a tablespoon of chia seeds and flax meal for additional fiber0 -
I do a banana, 20g oats, 45g protein isolate and 1tbsp of all natural peanut butter if I have fats left.

I don't think I'm ever gonna do smoothies with oats again... only with fruit and milk or yogurt I think :happy: thanks anyway0 -
I use 1/2 to 1 cup Almond milk, a small container of GOOD greek yogurt like Fage (good sourse of protien) and about 1 1/2 cups frozen berries and bananas mixed. Being frozen helps thicken and the bananas also help thicken it up. If you need it a little bit sweeter, use a bit of honey. I use Agave necture and if you need it thinner, splash a bit more Almond milk in it. The frozen fruit is what I like. I buy seasonal then freeze them for when I need them in the non-seasonal/colder months.0

I am too lazy so I use yoghurt, any type fruit so strawberries, blackberries, banana pick your fav. then add milk.. I am not one for weird smoothies just want ones where I dont need buy hundred weird ingredients and not like the taste. I like simple smoothies so far have not had one I didnt like.0

I make a peanutbutter banana smoothie and I use oats. I blend them first until they are a powder, then I add the bananas, peanutbutter and almond milk. It's pretty good!0

I love smoothies and eat them regularly.
My favourite ones:
Orange juice or milk and half - whole banana and a handful of strawberries...honey if you like. Ad Wheat germ
Or 2 cups of spinach, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, half a banana, strawberries and honey if you like...
or 1 cup of milk, 1 banana 1 Tablespoon of light peanut butter....
Do you have a 'good' blender? If the blender doesn't mix things well then it could be the reason why the smoothie tastes awful.0 -
I use soy protein powder, frozen fruit, low fat yogurt, and low fat milk. It's like a milkshake!0

Hi
I use oats in my morning smoothie too but I blitz them into a fine powder first with a handful of mixed seeds using the milling attachment on my nutriblend. I then add half a cup of frozen mixed berries, a banana, half cup of soy yogurt and soy milk or water to loosen. I have just started experimenting by adding a nutrient powder such as Maca or Wheatgrass, I can honestly say the smoothies are lovely. I have some spirulina powder to try, not enthusiastic though as I hear it truly tastes like pond water...keep experimenting, great way to start the day.
I have a great book of recipes for the nutriblend so if you fancy a particular smoothie or want to address a particular issue, let me know and I will see what they advise.
God luck x0 -
