Making the Strawberry Banana Smoothie with Oats is a breeze with these step-by-step instructions:

1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients to ensure a smooth blending process.
2. Prepare the Fruits: If using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly. Remove the green stems, and slice the banana into smaller pieces.
3. Blend Oats: In a blender, add the rolled oats first and blend for about 30 seconds until finely ground. This creates a smoother texture.
4. Add Fruits: Add the sliced banana and strawberries into the blender with the ground oats.
5. Pour in Liquid: Add the milk of your choice into the blender.
6. Sweeten: If desired, add honey or maple syrup for sweetness. The banana usually provides enough sweetness on its own, but this step is adjustable.
7. Add Flavor: Add the vanilla extract to enhance the overall taste.
8. Blend: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
9. Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
10. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass or a bowl, and enjoy it fresh.
