Ingredients

Quantities are for 2 servings.

Active time only; blend and serve immediately before the oats thicken the smoothie further.

Method

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender and dry blend them for 10 seconds to create a coarse powder.

    10 sec

  2. Add the chopped ripe bananas, cold milk, and honey to the blender with the powdered oats.

  3. Blend on high speed for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and creamy.

    30 sec–45 sec

  4. Add ice cubes if desired and pulse a few times to chill the smoothie further.

  5. Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately.

How to tell it's done

A thick, creamy, and velvety smoothie with a smooth banana-oat body.

Getting it right

Tip

Using overripe bananas adds natural sweetness, which allows you to reduce or even completely skip the honey.

What to serve it with

Serve as a quick on-the-go morning breakfast drink or a light pre-workout smoothie.

Common mistakes

The smoothie is gritty.
Blend the oats dry first, on their own, until they are a fine powder. Oats added whole to liquid never break down completely however long the blender runs.
It thickens into a paste within minutes.
Oats keep absorbing milk after blending. Drink it straight away, or blend it a little looser than you want it if you know it will sit.

Substitutions

  • Any plant milk works for a vegan version; oat milk keeps it closest to the original thickness.
  • Dates blended in can replace the honey and add body at the same time.

Storing and reheating

Drink immediately. It keeps overnight in the fridge in a sealed jar but sets very thick and the banana darkens — stir in a splash of milk and accept the colour. Do not freeze.
