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?

I made this for my breakfast and it was delicious! Make sure you have organic oats.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Any suggestions on what to replace the yogurt with?
Hi Alexa! I would probably only substitute a different type of yogurt in this recipe. Unfortunately I think it would be too thin if you just substituted milk.
What about using cottage cheese instead of yogurt. I have used cottage cheese in other smoothie recipes and I prefer it to the flavor of yogurt.
That should be fine if you prefer the flavor!
Delicious! My kids liked it too.
I’m so glad your family enjoyed it! :)
I made this smoothie with the only substitution being whole milk instead of almond (treenut allergy :/) and it was incredible! I will be making this again and again. Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment Mary! :)
