Think of this as muesli you can drink. Almonds, hazelnuts and oats make it filling, banana sweetens it, and a pinch of cinnamon gives it a warm, bakery like aroma.

About this smoothie
This smoothie borrows its ingredients from the breakfast bowl: nuts, oats, yogurt, fruit and a little spice. Blended with almond drink, they become a thick, creamy glass that is quick to make and easy to take along.
Almonds and hazelnuts provide plant protein and unsaturated fats, oats add fibre, and banana contributes natural sweetness and potassium. Because it is rich, it is best as a breakfast replacement rather than a drink alongside a meal.
Bartender tips
Soak the nuts and oats in the almond drink overnight in the fridge; in the morning just add the rest and blend.
Blanched almonds give a smoother, lighter coloured smoothie than almonds with skin.
Variations
Apple cinnamon
Add half an apple for a fruitier, lighter version.
Frequently asked questions
Is it vegan?
Not with dairy yogurt; with soy or oat yogurt it is fully plant based.
Can I use nut butter?
Yes, 1 tbsp almond or hazelnut butter can replace the whole nuts.
Will it keep until lunch?
Yes, in a closed bottle in the fridge; it thickens, so shake it well.
