Avocado Dreamsicle Oatmeal Smoothie Tips

There are a few additional tips and tricks to making this the best caramel macchiato overnight oats ever. The following suggestions provide simple adjustments that guarantee you enjoy every sip.

  • Avocado: Adds rich creaminess and heathy fats. Avocados don’t really have a strong taste, and furthermore the smoothie masks much of the avocado flavor. The avocado imparts a delicious fattiness that compliments the dreaminess of the smoothie without having to use heavy cream. Creamy = delicious!
  • Orange: This smoothie embodies the classic taste of an orange creamsicle, but without the heaviness of using real cream. Blend in a peeled orange or use fresh orange juice. Using juice will make a thinner smoothie, but is defiantly a viable option if you choose not to blend up an orange into the smoothie.
  • Spinach: Spinach offers an assortment of nutritional vitamins and minerals that compliant the blended beverage. In addition, blending spinach into the drink makes a green smoothie that looks incredibly magical.
  • Oats: Select rolled oats or quick oats for blending a smoothie. Raw steel-cut oats aren’t recommended for this preparation because they have not been milled and are extremely tough to grind in a blender.
  • Vegan: Dairy free milk allows this to be a dreamsicle as opposed to a creamsicle.
  • Gluten free: Although oats are gluten free, wheat free certified oats are recommended if you are on a strict diet.
  • Protein powder: A scoop of protein powder will also increase the nutrition available in this blended beverage. Use your favorite brand of unflavored, vanilla or even chocolate protein powder.
  • Sweetness: The orange is the primary source of sweetness within the main ingredients. If the orange is not super sweet, then you may want to use the maple syrup or your favorite sweetener to adjust the sweetness to accommodate your taste.
  • Consistency: A splash of almond milk, orange juice or a few ice cubes will loosen up the mixture if the viscosity is too thick. Ice is great for a serving a cold beverage right away, however it is unnecessary and will dilute the flavor if you are meal prepping for the next day.
  • Make ahead: Meal prep ahead of time for a quick grab and go. The smoothie will thicken when stored in the fridge, loosen up the consistency with a splash of liquid and follow up with a quick stir.
  • Storage: To ensure freshness, store the no cook oatmeal smoothie in the fridge for about 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Your avocado dreamsicle recipe caused me to buy a nutri ninja!

I found this recipe online as a way to keep the romance between me and oatmeal alive. I loved it so much that I had been making it every day at work, until the little blender I had shot craps. So, I splurged and bought a nutri ninja, all because I became addicted to this recipe!

I also wanted to let you know, I love your photo-recipes. I've printed my favorite one and posted it in my kitchen because it's pretty as well as functional.

I am currently drinking the blueberry lemon one from your page, and love the touch of cinnamon! I can't wait to try them all, but I'm sure I'll keep going back to the avocado dreamsicle.

More smoothie recipes, please! 😄

Thanks, Cory

Hello Cory,

We really enjoyed making all of the oatmeal smoothies. To be honest, oats in smoothies isn’t something I ever thought of until recently.

The avocado dreamsicle was super unique, and we are partial to the blueberry lemon as well. Did you try the other smoothies we crafted?

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful note!

Warmly, Joshua
