Cinnamon Oat Smoothie

Crafted this little bit of delicious after dinner as I still needed more carbs for the day – without adding saturated fat – and a little extra protein never hurts.

Creamy, cool, and packed with protein… And full of yum!

Cinnamon Oat Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 very ripe medium banana, frozen & sliced (I slice mine before freezing)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup

Directions

1. Add 1/4 cup rolled oats to blender and pulse into oat flour. This takes 3 – 4 pulses for about 5 secs in my blender.
2. Add, in order: 1/8 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, sliced 1 frozen banana, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup.
3. Secure lid and blend. My KitchenAid blender has a smoothie setting that I just run through once. If you don’t have a setting like this on your blender: start out on low, gradually increasing to medium and finally high. If you have it, use your variable speed dial to combine ingredients for more control over the results. Start on low to allow ingredients to fall into the blade, then gradually dial it up to a high speed to blend to your desired texture.
4. Pour into a glass and serve within 1 day. Keep refrigerated if not serving immediately.
