1/2cupold-fashioned rolled oatsI use gluten free oats
1 1/4cupssoy milkor almond milk
2Medjool datespitted and roughly chopped
2tablespoonshazelnut butter or almond butter
1medium applecored and roughly chopped
1small bananasliced
1/4teaspooncinnamonmore to taste
2teaspoonshoneymore to taste
Instructions
Place oats in your blender. Blend on high speed until they resemble coarse flour.
For a warm smoothie, warm up milk in the microwave or on the stove until it's very warm, but not boiling. If using cold, just add milk to blended oats.
Add the rest of the ingredients and blend on high speed until completely pureed and smooth. Taste the smoothie and add more milk or cinnamon if desired.
Serve the smoothie with some apple chips on the side for the ultimate breakfast.
Notes
You can use cow's milk in place of soy (or almond) milk if you wish. If using yogurt, add some water to thin it out if needed.Maple syrup is great instead of honey.To make this without a banana, add more dates or honey if needed for sweetness and adjust the amount of milk used, to make a thicker smoothie.
