Incredibly healthy and delicious, this quick cinnamon roll breakfast smoothie is the perfect breakfast to start off the day!
Oats are a breakfast staple for me. Whether I’m enjoying overnight oats, a no-bake breakfast cookie or this cinnamon roll smoothie, they are usually always included in my morning meal. They help keep me fuller for longer!
It’s a new year and like most people, I have decided to eat a little healthier this year and hit the gym a more often. So I am kick-starting my year with this absolutely delicious cinnamon roll breakfast smoothie. It is healthy, yummy and so quick and easy to make.
This delicious smoothie has a warm flavor from the cinnamon, which really makes you feel like you are eating cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and the oats and nuts will keep you full and powered up for any hectic day ahead of you. You can also choose whether you want to make it with brown sugar, or the slightly healthier version which is coconut sugar.
The thing I love most about smoothies is that they only take two minutes to make and you can pretty much put anything into your blender and it always tastes good. This is great because the mornings are often a big rush and I don’t always have the time create an amazing healthy breakfast. Which means I often end up eating a sugary breakfast bar.
This cinnamon roll smoothie is great when you are trying to stick to a healthy eating plan. Every morning I quickly pop all the ingredients into my blender, give it a quick whizz and then my breakfast is done! That doesn’t sound too difficult right?

Tips + substitutions

I Use half a cup of almond milk instead of 1 and I found it to be a better consistency; a lot thicker. Overall it was a really good recipe. My friends and Family really liked it!
Thanks for sharing! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Does the macros change if you had the protein powder?
Hi! No, the protein powder is not included. If you add protein powder I would track that separate. Most add about 15-20 grams of protein.
Can you omit the oats?
It will be a little thinner, but that should be fine.
Made this today. Yum!!
I was sold at “cinnamon roll” but love that this is also quick and healthy! Can’t wait to start the New Year off right with this recipe!
What a great fall breakfast smoothie I love all the flavors and brings a warmth to the holiday spirit as well!
