About this smoothie

Banana and hazelnut are a familiar combination from spreads and desserts, and in a smoothie they make a filling breakfast drink. Oat milk has a naturally sweet, grainy flavour that suits nuts well, and natural yogurt brings creaminess and freshness.

Hazelnuts provide mostly unsaturated fats and some plant protein, and oat milk usually contains a little fibre from the oats. This glass will keep you going through a busy morning.

Bartender tips

  • Toast the hazelnuts briefly in a dry pan and let them cool for a deeper flavour.
  • For a completely smooth texture, soak the nuts in the oat milk for 10 minutes before blending.

Variations

Vegan version
Use an oat or soy yogurt instead of natural yogurt.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use hazelnut butter instead?

Yes, 1 tbsp of hazelnut butter replaces the whole nuts and blends more smoothly.

Is it vegan?

Not with dairy yogurt; use a plant based yogurt to make it vegan.

Can I prepare it the night before?

Yes, it keeps for a day in the fridge; shake well before drinking.
