Oats Smoothie recipe
Oats smoothie is a healthy and nutritious breakfast or snack option. It typically consists of a blend of oats, milk (or a dairy-free alternative), and a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients depending on your preference.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the oats, milk, banana, frozen berries, honey (if using), and vanilla extract (if using).
- Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk or water to reach the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as desired by adding more honey if necessary.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
Note: You can also add additional ingredients like peanut butter, chia seeds, or flaxseed for added flavor and nutrition. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of milk for a thicker smoothie.
