Banana Pomegranate Smoothie with Oats

Taste

Creamy and filling, sweet banana and oats with bright bursts of pomegranate.

About this smoothie

This smoothie is designed as a small breakfast: rolled oats provide body and fibre, banana sweetness and potassium, and milk protein and calcium. A dash of almond milk adds a faint nutty note. Pomegranate seeds bring a fresh tartness that keeps the rich base from tasting heavy.

If you prefer a completely smooth drink, blend a little longer or strain it; otherwise the small pomegranate kernels add texture. Best enjoyed in the morning.

Bartender tips

  • Soaked oats blend more smoothly.
  • For a vegan version use only almond milk.

Variations

Vegan version
Replace the cow's milk with more almond or oat milk.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare it the night before?

It thickens overnight; stir in a splash of milk before drinking.

Can I use pomegranate juice?

Yes, replace a little of the milk with pure pomegranate juice.

Is it vegan?

Not with cow's milk; with only plant drinks it is.
