Banana Oat Honey Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats
• 3/4 cup milk, oat milk or kefir
• 1 teaspoon honey
• A pinch of cinnamon, optional

How to make it

1. Blend milk and oats first for 10–15 seconds.
2. Add banana, honey and cinnamon.
3. Blend until creamy and pourable.
4. Add a splash more milk if it thickens while standing.

Common mistakes

• Adding too many oats and making the smoothie heavy.
• Letting it sit too long before drinking.
• Using an unripe banana, which makes the flavor flat.

Best texture

Keep this smoothie drinkable, light and freshly blended. If it becomes too thick, add cold water, milk, kefir or coconut water one tablespoon at a time until it pours easily.
