Incredibly healthy and delicious, this quick cinnamon roll breakfast smoothie is the perfect breakfast to start off the day!
Easy Breakfast or Snack
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.
To mix things up I made this cinnamon roll breakfast smoothie with oats and it was delicious. It is healthy, yummy and so quick and easy to make.
This 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.
Only 2 Minutes to Make
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 for busy mornings.
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 blend and then my breakfast is done!
Ingredients
- Rolled oats: I love to use organic old-fashioned oats.
- Plain greek yogurt: You could use a vanilla yogurt as well.
- Brown sugar: You can also substitute with coconut sugar or omit all together.
- Almond milk: This is easy to swap with regular milk or oat milk as well.
- Cinnamon: The cinnamon adds the perfect flavor.
- Vanilla: A dash of vanilla really helps to bring out the sweet flavor.
- Banana: The banana adds the perfect sweetness. I love freezing mine beforehand to make the smoothie extra creamy.
Tips + substitutions
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein.
- Use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar for a healthier alternative.
- My milk preference is almond milk, but feel free to use milk of choice.
- I love adding in chopped pecans for more flavor and fiber, however you can leave them out if preferred.
- If you’re a cinnamon lover like me, add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before enjoying!

Any chance I can replace brown sugar with something else? Sweetener? Honey?
You could sub with coconut sugar, honey or maple syrup! Or leave it out all together if you’d like (it won’t be as sweet but you’ll still get some sweetness from the banana).
Thank you so much for the reply! It turned out delicious! One last question, can I make this the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight?
So glad to hear that! I haven’t tried, so I’m not sure how the consistency would hold up overnight. If you give it a shot, let me know how it goes!
Absolutely delicious!! I am a cinnamon lover so adding more to the top was a must!
So happy to hear it was a success!
Delicious!
Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Does the banana have to be frozen?
Using a frozen banana helps make the consistency thick and creamy :) You could use a fresh banana but the texture will most likely be a little more runny.
