Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie

Breakfast · Breakfast

Rolled oats blend into a creamy breakfast shake — filling enough to last until lunch on a busy tour. Tastes like strawberry oatmeal, not raw oats.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3 cups frozen strawberries
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Line up every ingredient for Strawberry Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie in the order you will cook — measure spices into ramekins, trim proteins on a dedicated board, and set tongs, thermometers, and hotel pans within arm's reach before any heat goes on.
2. Preheat ovens, griddles, or grills to recipe temp before the crew arrives — cold equipment extends cook time and dries out batch Blend. Confirm burners ignite evenly and sheet pans are greased or lined.
3. Add oats and half the milk to the blender. Let sit 5 minutes if you have time — softens oats for a smoother texture. Serve cold within 10 minutes — hold blended cups on ice at 38°F if the line runs long. Work in batches if the pan or grill crowding steams food instead of browning — rookies should watch for pale surfaces and adjust heat early.
4. Add strawberries, remaining milk, yogurt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend 90 seconds until completely smooth. Serve cold within 10 minutes — hold blended cups on ice at 38°F if the line runs long. Work in batches if the pan or grill crowding steams food instead of browning — rookies should watch for pale surfaces and adjust heat early.
5. If you feel grit, blend 30 seconds more on high. Sweeten with honey to balance. Serve cold within 10 minutes — hold blended cups on ice at 38°F if the line runs long. Work in batches if the pan or grill crowding steams food instead of browning — rookies should watch for pale surfaces and adjust heat early.
6. Serve immediately for best texture; can refrigerate up to 6 hours and shake before drinking. Serve cold within 10 minutes — hold blended cups on ice at 38°F if the line runs long. Work in batches if the pan or grill crowding steams food instead of browning — rookies should watch for pale surfaces and adjust heat early.
