Thanks, really comprehensive!
When you say "oats" I assume you mean rolled, not steel cut. From what I hear and read rolled oats are too quickly absorbed into our system plus a few other minuses vs steel cut. I think my blender (don't have it yet) will be capable of taking on steel cut oats though I'm not sure I'd be any better off than with rolled.
I think I want to add in some kind of dark greens, maybe kale or a type of chard.

Doesn’t have dark greens, but my favourite green juice is:
1 cup orange juice, chilled or add 2 ice cubes
1/2 chopped pineapple
1/2 cucumber
1/2 celery stalk
1 Tbsp fresh parsley
Sweeten with honey to taste -
Rolled oats have lost their bran, which has more protein and fibre - but you can buy oat bran separately and add it back.
It's a bit gritty, but not unpleasant, and definitely less work than putting pinhead/steel-cut oats through the blender.

Buy frozen berries, lots of them. Cheaper than fresh but frozen fresh at point of origin, super healthy, last nearly indefinitely, make anything better. Also a clever way of making cold smoothies instead of using ice cubes.
Ground flaxseed, chia seeds, bananas, oats, pecan or similar nuts, peanut butter, honey or agave syrup, flaked almonds, desiccated coconut. Add 2 tablespoons of any or several of the above to 1:2 proportion coconut or normal milk, and you’re good to go.
Edit- my go-to when I’m in a rush is 1 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons oats or almonds, 2 tablespoons flaxseed, 1/2-3/4 cup frozen berries, 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter.
