Notes
Be sure to pulse the quick oats thoroughly, otherwise your smoothie will have a grainy texture.
I prefer milk and yogurt with 2% milk fat. However, if you want to cut calories, you can opt for fat free. Or if you want a creamier, thicker smoothie, you can choose whole milk products.
Feel free to adjust the ice to your personal preference. More ice = thinner smoothie. Less ice = thicker smoothie. The vanilla yogurt variation is particularly thick, so you may want to add a little extra milk, too, just to thin it out.
