Ingredients:
1 ripe banana (frozen or fresh)
1/4 cup rolled oats
10 raw almonds (soaked overnight or at least 2 hours)
1 cup light milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or skim milk)
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract for added flavor
Ice cubes (if using fresh banana and you want it chilled)
Instructions:
Prep Ingredients: If your banana is not frozen, you can add a few ice cubes to chill the smoothie. Soak almonds in warm water for a couple of hours or overnight to soften.
Blend: In a blender, combine the banana, rolled oats, soaked almonds, and light milk.
Optional Add-ins: Add honey, cinnamon, or vanilla extract if desired.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve Fresh: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending to get the most nutrients and flavor.
Storage: If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking as separation may occur.
Meal Prep Tip: Freeze banana slices and soaked almonds in portioned bags for quick smoothie prep.
