Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat (if not certified GF oats)
⚠️ Milk (unless plant-based)

Instructions

1

Break the banana into the blender. Add oats, honey, chilled coffee, and milk.

Tip: The riper the banana, the higher the sugar content, meaning you need less honey. Pectin in the fruit thickens the drink.
2

Add the ice and blend on high for about 1 minute until completely smooth.

Tip: Oats need time to be pulverized by the blades; otherwise, the texture will be gritty.
3

Pour into a glass and drink immediately.

Tip: If left to sit, the oats will absorb liquid and turn the smoothie into a thick pudding.
