Creamy and mild, with natural banana sweetness and a slightly nutty oat note.
About this smoothie
Rice milk is a plant-based drink made from rice and water; it tastes naturally sweet and is thinner than cow's milk, which suits thick banana smoothies. Rolled oats add some fibre and make the smoothie more filling, and chia seeds swell in the liquid for extra body. Natural yoghurt brings freshness and protein. This smoothie is mild, creamy and keeps you going through the morning.
Bartender tips
Soak the oats and chia in the rice milk for 10 minutes for the smoothest texture.
Well-spotted bananas are sweetest; no sugar needed.
Variations
Vegan version
Use soy or coconut yoghurt instead of dairy yoghurt.
