1. Place the rolled oats in a small skillet and toast them for 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not too brown. If you prefer to preheat the skillet, use medium heat, roughly equivalent to 350°F/175°C in culinary terms.

2. Let the toasted oats cool for 2 minutes so they do not warm up the smoothie.

Chef tips
For a finer texture, you can strain the smoothie after blending, especially if the fennel is quite fibrous. Chill the grapefruit and grapes before making it for a more refreshing result.
Substitutions
You can replace Greek yogurt with thick plain yogurt. Honey can be swapped for maple syrup if you want a different sweetness, though the flavor profile will change. If you do not have pink grapefruit, use white grapefruit and add a few extra grapes to balance it.
