smoothies made with oat milk

Indulgent, decadent – and good for you.

So many of us are swapping dairy for plant-based milk – I swear my local coffee shop probably make just as many lattes with non-dairy milk as they are with regular ones these days.

Personally, I started drinking oat milk in my coffee a few years ago, and honestly, once you have tasted just how creamy and delicious and perfect it is, there is no going back.

But while coffee is one thing – have you tried adding oat milk to your smoothies? Because trust me, you should.

Perfectly smooth and creamy, oat milk is practically made for smoothies, and here are just two recipes to get your started:

Post Workout Smoothie

Ingredients

150g Raspberries (Or Mixed berries)

1 Sliced Peach

150ml of Flahavan’s Vitamin Rich Oat Drink

1 Scoop Protein of Choice (optional)

1 teaspoon of honey

45g Flahavan’s Porridge Oats

Method

Put all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and whizz until smooth.

Add ice cubes for extra refreshment if you really need to cool down.

Chocolate & Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

1 Ripe Banana, sliced and frozen

1 tablespoon of Cocoa Powder

250ml Flahavan’s Barista Oat Drink

Chocolate/Cacao nibs to decorate

Method

If the bananas aren’t frozen, add a couple of ice cubes to the ingredients.

Garnish with a few slices of banana and some chocolate nibs and serve immediately.
