Oats fruit smoothies are best for the busy mornings; not only it's easy to prepare, it's very refreshing. We can use any seasonal fruits and addition of banana gives a creamy texture. Options are endless and you can do as per your liking and taste
 

                                      

Ingredients:

• Oats (Quick cooking or old-fashioned) - 1/2 cup
• Milk / Non dairy milk -  2 cups
• Mango, chopped - 1 no.
• Banana, chopped - 1 no.
• Cardamon powder - a pinch
• Sugar / Honey - To taste (Optional)
• Walnuts, chopped - for garnishing (Optional)

Milk with fruits might not suit for some people and in that case we can use non-dairy milks like almond milk or coconut milk.

Method:

1.  Cook oats with milk (if you cook in water, adjust milk accordingly at the end) and allow to cool. Since I used old-fashioned oats, I cook in microwave for 2-3 mins
2. In a blender take cooked  oats, chopped mango and banana, cardamon powder, little milk and blend it together
   
3. Add milk as per your desired consistency and if you're using sugar/honey, you can add at this stage. Since both the fruits are on the sweeter side, we don't prefer to add sweeteners, but you can add as per your taste
4. Blend well and pour into glasses and serve immediately
   
   
   
   
   
5. Chopped nuts can be added for an extra crunchy flavor
