Kiwi Oat Smoothie

Think of it as a bowl of porridge with kiwi, only colder and quicker. Oats and whole milk give it body, the kiwi keeps it fresh.

About this smoothie

Blending raw rolled oats into a smoothie is a simple way to make it more filling. Oats provide complex carbohydrates and fibre, and they thicken the drink as they soak.

Kiwis are well known for their high vitamin C content and bring a fresh acidity that stops the milk and banana from tasting heavy. It is a practical breakfast for busy mornings and easy to take along.

Bartender tips

  • For a smoother texture, soak the oats in the milk for 10 minutes before blending.
  • Do not blend kiwi too long with milk, or the drink can turn slightly bitter over time. Drink it fresh.

Variations

Vegan version
Use oat drink instead of whole milk.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use instant oats?

Yes, fine oat flakes blend even more smoothly.

Can I prepare it the night before?

It is best fresh, because kiwi and milk can turn slightly bitter overnight. Soak the oats in the evening instead.

Is it gluten free?

Only if you use oats labelled gluten free.
