A pinch of cinnamon turns a simple muesli smoothie into something that tastes like a warm bowl of porridge, only cold and in a jar.
2 tbsp
rolled oats
1
banana ripe
2½ oz
almond milk
3½ oz
whole milk
¼ tsp
ground cinnamon
Garnish: A pinch of cinnamon · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mildly sweet with warm cinnamon, a light almond note and an oaty body.
Oats, banana and milk are the familiar base of a muesli smoothie, and cinnamon is their natural partner: it underlines the sweetness of the banana and gives the drink a cosy, bakery-like aroma.
Rolled oats supply fibre and make the smoothie filling, almond milk a light nutty note. There is no added sugar; the banana is sweet enough. Blend it in the morning and take it along in a jar, or drink it straight away while the texture is at its smoothest.
Yes, it thickens overnight; add a splash of milk and shake before drinking.
Yes, use only almond milk instead of the whole milk.
A quarter teaspoon is enough; more can taste dusty.
