Description
A quick, creamy smoothie that tastes like banana bread in a glass, packed with energy from oats and banana.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup yogurt (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the banana and measure the oats, milk, honey, cinnamon, and yogurt. If you prefer a colder smoothie, slice and freeze the banana beforehand. Gather a blender and a glass.
- Place the banana, rolled oats, milk, honey, and cinnamon into the blender. Add the yogurt now if using. Add a few ice cubes for chill and thickness if desired.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if bits of oats stick. Blend another 10-15 seconds for a velvety texture.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. Taste and adjust: add more milk to thin, extra honey to sweeten, or a pinch more cinnamon. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For a thinner smoothie, add more milk. Use almond milk and skip honey for lower calories and sugar. Best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
