Muesli Smoothie with Hazelnuts and Almond Drink

Taste

Creamy and nutty, with ripe banana sweetness, a hint of toasted hazelnut and a slightly grainy, hearty texture.

About this smoothie

A muesli smoothie takes the idea of the Swiss breakfast classic and makes it drinkable. Rolled oats add body and fibre, hazelnuts bring a toasted, nutty depth and some healthy fats, and banana provides all the sweetness needed.

Mixing almond drink with whole milk gives a lighter base than milk alone while keeping it creamy. This is one of the more filling smoothies, well suited to a breakfast on the go or a snack before a long afternoon.

Bartender tips

  • Soaking oats and nuts briefly makes the smoothie much smoother, especially in a basic blender.
  • Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes for a deeper, roasted flavour.

Variations

Berry muesli
Add 50 g of blueberries or raspberries for colour and a fruity tartness.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep until the next morning?

It thickens as the oats absorb liquid. Stored covered in the fridge it keeps overnight; stir in some milk before drinking.

Can I make it vegan?

Yes, replace the whole milk with more almond drink or an oat drink.

Can I use other nuts?

Yes. Almonds, cashews or walnuts all work; almonds suit the almond drink especially well.
