Banana Oatmeal Yogurt Smoothie

Taste

Thick, creamy and mild, with sweet banana, a soft cereal note and a light yogurt tang.

About this smoothie

Oats are one of the most practical smoothie ingredients: they add body, a mild cereal flavour and fibre, and they make the glass noticeably more filling. Banana provides natural sweetness, and the yogurt brings a gentle tang and some protein.

Almond drink is lighter than milk and adds a faint nutty note. The result is a smoothie that can replace a quick breakfast on busy mornings or fill the gap before a workout. Soaking the oats briefly gives the smoothest texture.

Bartender tips

  • Use fine oat flakes if your blender is not very powerful; they blend more smoothly.
  • A pinch of cinnamon suits the oats and banana very well.

Variations

Cocoa oat
Add 1 tsp of cocoa powder for a chocolate-flavoured breakfast smoothie.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare it the night before?

Yes. It thickens overnight in the fridge, so stir in a little extra almond drink before drinking.

Can I make it vegan?

Yes, use a plant yogurt such as soy or coconut yogurt.

Do I need to cook the oats?

No. Rolled oats can be eaten raw; soaking them briefly just makes the smoothie smoother.
