Equipment

blender

Ingredients

1 whole banana optional: cut into smaller chunks and frozen
1/2 cup rolled oats (or quick oats are okay if that's what you have)
1/2 cup almond milk or oat milk, unsweetened, homemade and organic, OR: Three Trees or Malk brands preferred; if you can, try to avoid all nut and oat milks with added oils and vitamins. Find the above milks in the refrigerator section of many stores.
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon sea salt or Potassium Lite Salt

Instructions

Add oats to blender.
Blend or pulse until mostly powdered or finely ground.
Add banana. (If frozen, be sure it's cut into smaller chunks or slices.) Top with milk, water and sea salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage

Oats Smoothie definitely tastes best the day you make it, right after blending. But if needed, it can be refrigerated for one day, or freeze on its side in a mason jar (leaving 2" headroom), and defrost slowly overnight in the fridge to enjoy the next day.

Meal prep option

One other option for pre-making this smoothie or making the prep time faster is: pre-measure the oats, sliced banana and sea salt into a ziptop bag, and freeze until needed. When you need it, simply add milk and water, blend and enjoy!
