Energizing Banana Oat Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 3 tablespoons oats
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk 200 ml
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
- 3 to 4 ice cubes
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- First, peel the banana, then place it into a blender.
- Next, add the oats, the plant based milk, the chia seeds, and the cinnamon.
- If you prefer it sweeter, add a little honey or maple syrup.
- Then, blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until completely smooth.
- After that, add the ice cubes, and blend for a few more seconds.
- Finally, enjoy it right away, or, if you'd like a thicker texture, let it sit for two to three minutes so the oats and chia seeds can soften slightly.
If you're drinking it before a workout, it's best to make a smaller portion and have it about one to two hours beforehand. On the other hand, if you're having it as a full breakfast, you can also enrich it with a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter, which makes it even more filling.
