Oatmeal Nutella Smoothie

Oatmeal Nutella smoothie is a quick and easy on the go breakfast / after school snack for the kids. 

Store-brought Nutella is loaded with refined sugars and palm oil, so I never buy it. This is made with home made Nutella and you can find the recipe here: Home made Nutella.

I prefer Oats smoothies for the busy mornings; not only it's easy to prepare, it's very refreshing. Usually I would prepare with seasonal fruits and for a change I tried Chocolate Oats and it came out well. If you're a chocolate lover, for sure you'll like it.

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.

Blueberry-Banana Oats Smoothie

• Milk / Non-dairy milk -  2 cups
• Blueberry - 1/3 cup (Frozen / fresh)
• Banana, chopped - 1 no.(Frozen / fresh)

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, blueberries, chopped banana, 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
