- Increase The Fibre: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for additional fibre and omega-3s.
- Make It More Filling: Blend in half a banana for a naturally creamy and satisfying shake.
- Ensure Smooth Blending: Blend the oats with the oat milk first before adding the other ingredients for a silkier texture.
- Chill Before Drinking: Let the shake sit in the fridge for 10 minutes to enhance the flavour.
