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
• Strawberries - 5-8 nos (as per your liking)
• Banana, chopped - 1 no.(Optional)
• Sugar / Honey - To taste (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 quick cooking oats, I cook in microwave for 1-2 mins
   
2. In a blender take cooked  oats, strawberries, chopped banana (if using), 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. 
4. Blend well and pour into glasses and serve immediately
