About this smoothie

Oat milk is made from oats and water and is one of the most popular plant drinks. It is naturally slightly sweet and creamy, which makes it an easy dairy alternative for smoothies. Many brands are fortified with calcium and vitamins; check the label if that matters to you.

The banana gives body and sweetness, the spinach colour and vitamin K. Together they make a filling, mild smoothie that tastes more like a banana shake than a green drink.

Bartender tips

  • Choose an unsweetened oat milk, the banana is sweet enough.
  • Blend in 1 tbsp rolled oats or nut butter for a more substantial breakfast.

Variations

With cinnamon
A pinch of cinnamon gives it a cosy, porridge-like flavour.
