TIPS
- For Natural Sweetness: Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- For Smoother Blend: Pre-soak oats for 5 to 10 minutes in the oat milk for an even smoother blend.
- For Thicker Consistency: Use cold oat milk or frozen banana to create a chilled and thicker consistency.
- For Lump-Free Result: Blend protein powder with liquid first for a lump-free result, then add solids.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Choose a plant-based protein powder.
- Flavour Additions: Add 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract.
- Nut-Free Option: Ensure the protein powder is nut-free and avoid nut toppings.
- Extra Protein: Stir in 1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese before blending.
- Higher Fibre: Add 1 teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseed meal to support digestion.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Prepping: Slice and freeze banana portions and pre-measure oats and protein powder for quicker morning prep.
- Storage: Best enjoyed immediately after blending. If needed, refrigerate for up to 12 hours in a sealed container.
- Freezing: The smoothie base can be frozen in small containers or silicone moulds and defrosted overnight in the fridge. Stir well before serving.
