I love to make smoothies for breakfast. They are easy, quick, delicious, and filling. I am SO excited to share this smoothie recipe because it includes all of my favorite ingredients.
To make this oats banana smoothie you'll need:
- Oats: I have used rolled oats. You could use instant or quick oats as well. I prefer to use dry-roasted oats in my smoothies. It adds better digestion and also lends a beautiful taste to the oats. I just dry roast the oats until lightly roasted. Then once cooled down, store in an airtight jar and use as needed. However, raw oats could be used as well.
- Banana: Use fresh or frozen. Use frozen bananas for a frostier smoothie. You can chop the banana and freeze them in a ziplock before going to bed. Then use as needed.
- Almonds: I love to include almonds in my regular diet. Especially soaked and skinned almonds. Soaked and peeled almonds have a cooling property. Hence they are easy to digest. Almonds can be replaced with almond powder or almond butter. If you don't like almonds, you can omit them. Don't worry the smoothie will still taste amazing.
- Cinnamon: It adds a hint of sweetness and delicious flavor to the smoothie.
- Water: You can replace water with any plant-based milk or dairy milk.
