Think of this as your morning bowl of muesli, just blended. Oats give it body, banana the sweetness, and almond milk a soft nutty note.
2 tbsp
rolled oats
1
banana ripe
2½ oz
almond milk
3½ oz
whole milk
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Mild, creamy and gently sweet with a nutty, oaty finish.
Muesli goes back to the Swiss doctor Maximilian Bircher-Benner, who served soaked oats with grated apple around 1900. This smoothie borrows the idea: oats and fruit, but blended into a drink.
Rolled oats bring fibre and make the smoothie filling, the banana supplies all the sweetness it needs. Mixing almond milk with cow’s milk keeps the taste mild but gives it a light almond aroma. It is a practical breakfast for mornings when there is no time to sit down.
Yes, fine oat flakes blend even more smoothly.
Yes, but it thickens a lot overnight; add a splash of milk and shake before drinking.
Usually not; a ripe banana is sweet enough.
