TIPS
- For Smoother Blending: Grate carrot finely for smoother blending and consistent texture.
- For Thick Bowl: Use frozen banana for a thicker and cooler bowl without needing ice.
- Prevent From Lumps: Blend liquid and oats first to prevent lumps before adding carrot and banana.
- Avoid Sticking: Rinse the blender promptly to avoid carrot sticking and drying on the base.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Use a plant-based protein powder.
- Extra Fibre Boost: Add 1 teaspoon of chia or flax seeds into the blend.
- Dessert-Style: Stir in 1 tablespoon of unsweetened coconut yoghurt.
- Spice Twist: Include a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth.
- Fruit Addition: Add 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce for sweetness and moisture.
