1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 medium oranges, peeled and pulled apart into segments
1 banana, sliced
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a blender, pour in the plain low-fat yogurt and low-fat milk. Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, orange segments, sliced banana, and dried cranberries to the blender.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until all ingredients are fully blended and the smoothie has a creamy, smooth texture.
Serve Chilled: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately, chilled for the best flavor and refreshing taste.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best citrus flavor.
Dried cranberries can be substituted with fresh or frozen cranberries if preferred, but may alter the texture slightly.
For a thinner smoothie, add a little more milk to reach desired consistency.
To make it vegan, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
This smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but is best enjoyed fresh.
