Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of fresh strawberries, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of milk or your preferred milk alternative, and 1 tablespoon of honey if you desire added sweetness.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Rinse the strawberries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Remove the green tops and slice the strawberries in half for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, halved strawberries, rolled oats, and milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add the honey at this stage.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk to achieve your desired thickness.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or additional fruit.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, and if desired, garnish with a few whole strawberries or a sprinkle of oats on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Banana Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie!
Tips
- * Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and creamy texture. * If you want a thicker smoothie, add more oats or a scoop of your favorite protein powder. * Experiment with different types of milk or milk alternatives to find your favorite flavor combination. * Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrients - the sweetness of the banana and strawberries will mask the taste of the greens! * Prepare the smoothie ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge for a quick and easy breakfast on-the-go.
