Fresh-baked cinnamon roll, crammed into a glass!
One of the best things about smoothies is that there really are no limits to what you can do with them. From light and fruity to rich and creamy, the variations are absolutely endless. Another great thing about them is that they’re like dessert, but much healthier.
No matter what your favorite dessert is, from a banana split to pumpkin pie, you can whip up a smoothie version of it in minutes. Throw a few things in the blender, hit the button, and boom! Dessert in a glass.
So it should come as no surprise that the latest entry in my Sunday Smoothie lineup is the Cinnamon Roll Smoothie. Basically, just imagine taking all the sweet, sticky, spicy indulgence of a fresh-baked cinnamon roll and cramming it into a glass. The only thing you can leave out is the guilt, because this Cinnamon Roll Smoothie is low-fat and packed with healthy fruit and oatmeal.
A cinnamon roll you can sip through a straw. You can’t beat that-but you can blend it.
Note: If you do not have frozen fruit to use for the smoothies, fresh fruit will work just fine. If using fresh fruit, make sure to add a handful of ice to the other ingredients before blending. The frozen fruit just adds that cold element to make an ice cold drink.
Cinnamon Roll Smoothie
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon ( or 2-3Ā Ā drops of Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil)

You might have noticed, I have been using Essential Oils in my some of my smoothies. SO yummy and healthy. If you’ve beenĀ wanting to give oils a try in your smoothies, cooking or simply diffusing them, check out my Got Oils page!

April 8, 2015 at 5:33 amHi Corey! I can’t have bananas but this recipe sounds so delicious. Do you know of any substitutions?
Corey says
April 8, 2015 at 7:48 amHmmmm. You could just try to up the yogurt and oats š Let me know how that turns out š
Taka says
April 8, 2015 at 7:55 amI think I will try partially freezing the extra yogurt I add in cubes and maybe that will make up for the thickness from the bananas.
Kristy says
February 19, 2016 at 11:02 pmFrozen avocado works great in place of bananas. Makes your smoothie extra creamy too ?
Corey says
February 21, 2016 at 5:39 pmGreat idea Kristy!
April says

Tina K. says
June 8, 2015 at 4:24 pmCan’t have almond milk, can you use low fat or 1 % milk instead? Getting ready to make them today.
Corey says
June 8, 2015 at 4:28 pmYes! That would taste amazing too š
KaryN says
July 18, 2015 at 8:50 amcan you provide the nutritional info so we can figure WW pts thank you
Sandy @ frugalable.wordpress.com says
October 26, 2015 at 6:52 amI can’t wait to try this. I’m a regular banana smoothie wizzer but adding the cinnamon is a great idea. Iv never had the almond milk, I usually use regular milk… Now ‘m extra excited because Iv just found an online recipe for making almond milk in my thermomix. Thanks for the prompt:)
Julie says
January 3, 2016 at 7:24 amWould it be ok to use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Corey says
January 4, 2016 at 1:27 pmYep! The Greek yogurt just beefs up the protein š
Michelle @ Modern Acupuncture says
January 14, 2016 at 4:03 pmTried this today and it was delicious! Thank you! š
Amy says
January 21, 2016 at 9:32 amWhat about adding canned pumpkin? Would that change the taste or consistency too much?
Suzanne says
March 3, 2016 at 12:27 pmDo you have calorie/nutritional information on this? Please
Terese A. Kelley says
April 2, 2016 at 5:18 amGood morning! Wondering if you have the nutritional breakdown for this Devine Smoothie?
Corey says
April 2, 2016 at 2:28 pmI don’t Terese, because it would depend on what brand of yogurt you are using. I like to plug my recipes into My Fitness Pal to get nutritional breakdowns š
Tiffany says
May 16, 2016 at 6:34 pmJust made this today and it was the best smoothie I’ve ever had , would it be enough to use as a meal replacer and do you have other delicious recipes like this
Corey says
May 24, 2016 at 7:05 pmBest smoothie ever?! SWEEEEEET! Thanks Tiffany!
Mimis Z. says
June 13, 2016 at 3:40 amCan’t have enough of smoothie recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Serena says
June 14, 2016 at 2:06 pmOK silly question but I’ve seen some smoothie recipes that calls for the oatmeal to be cooked. Am I using uncooked or cooked oatmeal in this?
Corey says
June 14, 2016 at 3:11 pmNot silly at all Serena š For this smoothie you want it uncooked.
elijah castle says
June 17, 2016 at 2:51 amdo i need to do oats is there a good substitute for it?
Ashley says
July 28, 2016 at 9:16 pmI know this is definitely a breakfast drink, but I definitely made this as my “midnight snack” tonight and even added in a pinch of Nutella and peanut butter… Oops! So much for healthy! Lol
I LOVE this smoothie and I love how most of the ingredients were already in my home, so I didn’t have to go out and buy anything!
10/10!
LP says
September 3, 2016 at 8:07 amI have been drinking this every day for 2 weeks (sometimes 2x a day!) I love it!
Corey says
September 3, 2016 at 1:26 pmVery cool! So glad you love it!
Jen says
October 8, 2016 at 11:47 amCorey, thank you for this recipe! I modified it for my Low FODMAP diet. I omitted the vanilla yogurt and almond milk, and instead used Paleo Protein Egg White Protein powder (unflavored) and just water. Tastes great! My family is eating those delicious cinnamon rolls from Annie’s (canned) (cuz homemade is so hard with a 2yo and 4yo hanging on me), and I’m enjoying my smoothie!
Ps: my 4yo is Korey as well, just with a K.

Lynette says
January 21, 2017 at 9:02 amThis looks yummy! Do you know the rough calorie content? Hubby’s on eat healthy + loose weight diet at the moment….
Thanks for any advice.
Supriya Kutty says
February 3, 2017 at 5:48 amThank you Corey for this the amazing recipe of Cinnamon roll smoothie. Awaiting to make it.
Nicole says
April 3, 2017 at 8:16 pmNot a big cinnamon fan but this is amazing! I was so tempted to drink both servings!
Tori says
April 30, 2017 at 7:12 pmI really don’t enjoy bananas. Is the banana flavor really strong?
Corey says
May 1, 2017 at 11:39 amI don’t find it to be strong Tori.
Amanda says
May 14, 2017 at 2:52 pmHello! Can I make this the night before for the follow day for breakfast?
Corey says
May 16, 2017 at 4:39 pmYou might need to re-blend it the morning of Amanda. I would also store it in the freezer the night before and then reblend in the morning.
Kristen says
June 28, 2017 at 12:33 pmTried this smoothie today!! Definitely satisfied my pregnancy cravings lol. ?
Amanda @ Cats, Coffee, and Code says
July 15, 2017 at 9:13 amLove the simple ingredients in this. I love me some cinnamon rolls, but all that butter and sugar just leaves me feeling tired. This smoothie sounds perfect. I can’t wait to try it.
Meg says
September 22, 2017 at 12:02 pmCan these be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge?
LL says
December 1, 2017 at 2:41 amThe trick is to add coffee!
Leanne says
February 7, 2018 at 6:17 pmThis sounds delicious! Iāll be giving it a try!
karin07 says
March 25, 2018 at 1:59 pm@Karyn, @Suzanne: This combination of ingredients would average about 220 total, but divide that by 2 since this recipe makes 2 smoothies. So 110 calories each (will vary just a little depending on the brand of yogurt used).
karin07 says
March 25, 2018 at 2:18 pmCorrection on the calorie count for this recipe (I left out an ingredient).
It averages 175 per 8 ounces, or per serving. Note this recipe makes 2 servings. Allow for small variation on this total, depending on brands of yogurt and almond milk used.
Lerato says
March 25, 2018 at 3:43 pmI made this smoothie this morning however altered Greek yoghurt for plain low fat yoghurt n almond milk for fat free milk,it is absolutely delicious ,its such an indulgence!Thank u
Heather says
September 21, 2018 at 6:09 pmCan the yogurt be left out? I can’t have yogurt.
Corey says
September 25, 2018 at 12:56 pmIs there a yogurt substitute you could use?
Colleen says
October 21, 2018 at 12:50 pmLoved this smoothie! I soaked my oats in the yogurt and milk overnight for a crazy creamy texture.
Susanna Douglas says
March 3, 2019 at 2:51 pmMy 8 year old son truly enjoyed this! Great tasting and very filling. Most of the ingredients I had laying around the house already. These would be easy to make on the way to work. Thank you š for the recipe!!! We will definitely be looking at your other Sunday smoothie ideas.
Rosie says
