Base Ingredients
- 1 whole banana (optional): cut into smaller chunks and frozen
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (or quick oats as a substitute)
- 1/2 cup almond milk or oat milk (unsweetened, preferably homemade or organic; brands like Three Trees or Malk recommended; avoid nut and oat milks with added oils and vitamins)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt or Potassium Lite Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oats: Add the rolled oats to a blender and pulse or blend until they become mostly powdered or finely ground, which helps create a smooth texture in the smoothie.
- Add the banana: Place the banana chunks into the blender; if using frozen banana, ensure it is cut into smaller pieces or slices for easier blending.
- Add liquids and salt: Pour in the almond or oat milk along with the water, then add the sea salt or Potassium Lite Salt to enhance flavor and balance electrolytes.
- Blend to smoothness: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious oats smoothie!
Notes
- Freezing the banana enhances the creaminess and chill of the smoothie, but it’s optional.
- Use unsweetened milk alternatives to keep sugar content low, which is beneficial for weight loss.
- Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of water or milk according to your preference.
- Potassium Lite Salt is an option to increase potassium intake, which is important for muscle function and electrolyte balance.
