More About Oats
Are you short on time? Or maybe you just want to try something different for breakfast. I would definitely recommend this smoothie! The oats make this smoothie filling, the bananas add a natural sweetness and the oat milk makes this smoothie extra creamy.
The scientific name for oats is Avena sativa. They are a gluten free grain, high in vitamins, fiber, minerals and antioxidants. In addition, studies have shown that oats are good for weight loss and lowering blood sugar levels.
Milk Alternatives
I wanted to go for that extra dose of oaty creaminess so I chose oat milk. In addition, oat milk is vegan and full of protein and calcium. Therefore, it’s sure to give this smoothie a boost.
Coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, hemp or soy milk are other creamy plant-based milk options for a smoothie.
Bananas
Bananas are a yellow nutritious fruit. They are filled with flavour and are eaten all over the world. For this recipe I used frozen bananas. I make frozen bananas by peeling bananas and chopping them into equal sized pieces. Then, I add them to a freezer bag and freeze them for a minimum of 12 hours before using them.
Frozen bananas can be used to make vegan nice cream and smoothies. Using frozen bananas in these recipes helps to thicken the consistency and add more body to these smoothies.
