PRO TIPS

• Blenders to use – A high speed blender like Vitamix or NutriBullet is great for milkshakes. Nutri bullet was perfect to make this single serve recipe.
• Oats - Use rolled, old fashioned or quick cooking. Stay away from steel cut.
• Dairy free - Use almond milk or any non dairy milk to make it dairy free.
• Fresh or frozen banana? - We used fresh ones since blending oatmeal adds enough thickness and creaminess. However, if you'd like a very thick milkshake then use frozen fruit.
• Honey - The amount of honey depends on the sweetness of the fruit and your taste.

How to Make?

Place all you ingredients into a powered blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve.

How to Store?

Unlike other drink recipes that can be stored for couple of days, this recipe is best enjoyed fresh. The blended oats tends to absorb the liquid and make the drink much more thicker.

The best part of this recipe is that it makes just one serving so you will not have any leftovers. However, if you wish to then store leftovers in the fridge for a couple hours, if needed.

To Freeze - You can also freeze the blended drink in an ice cube tray or freezer-safe container.
