Blend on high 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
Add the ice cubes and blend 30 seconds more until cold and frosty.

This strawberry oatmeal protein smoothie is the drink that sips like dessert and works like a meal. Ripe fresh strawberries get blended with creamy banana, rolled oats and thick Greek yogurt, turning into a velvety pink drink that is almost thick enough to eat with a spoon. The oats melt into the blend, giving it a rich body that keeps you full for hours, while chia seeds add a quiet boost of fiber and omegas with no taste at all. A touch of honey and vanilla brings out the strawberries' natural sweetness, and cold milk makes everything silky and sippable. Everything happens in the blender in under ten minutes — no cooking, no mess, just a blender to rinse afterwards. Poured into tall glasses and topped with strawberry slices and mint leaves, it looks like something from a fancy juice bar. Each serving delivers 20 grams of protein for just 400 calories, alongside 62 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fat and 8 grams of fiber. It is the perfect quick breakfast, a post-workout refuel, or a light evening treat that satisfies a sweet craving without breaking your goals. Try it ice-cold with extra cubes on a hot day — unbelievably refreshing. For a thicker spoonable version, halve the milk and top the bowl with sliced banana and a sprinkle of granola.
