Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled (frozen strawberries can also be used)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 banana, preferably ripe
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk of your choice
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for added protein and creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Directions
- Prep the Ingredients: If you’re using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. For a thicker smoothie, you can use frozen strawberries instead.
- Soften the Oats (Optional): For a smoother texture, soak the oats in the milk for 10-15 minutes before blending.
- Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the strawberries, soaked oats, banana, almond milk, and Greek yogurt. Add the honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste, along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Add Ice (Optional): If you prefer your smoothie cold, add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy the creamy, fruity, and fulfilling blend!
