Ingredients
  

1 cup frozen strawberries

1 ripe banana, sliced

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your milk of choice)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by slicing the ripe banana and measuring out the remaining ingredients. If using fresh strawberries, you might want to slice them for easier blending.

    Blend the Oats: In a blender, add the rolled oats first and blend them on high speed for about 10-15 seconds until they become a fine powder. This step ensures a smoother texture in your smoothie.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, sliced banana, almond milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon to the blender with the ground oats.

        Blend Until Smooth: Place the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients together on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can add ice cubes and blend again until smooth.

          Taste and Adjust: Check the sweetness and thickness. If you desire a sweeter smoothie, add more honey or maple syrup. If it’s too thick, gradually add more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or two smaller glasses. You can garnish it with a slice of banana, a few whole strawberries, or a sprinkle of oats on top for added texture.

              Enjoy: Sip on your delicious Strawberry Banana Oat Smoothie right away for the best flavor and nutrient retention!
