Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas peeled and sliced; use frozen for a thicker texture
- 0.5 cup rolled oats old-fashioned or quick oats work best
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or any preferred dairy-free milk
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon optional for flavor depth
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional for extra sweetness
- 1 cup ice cubes if using fresh instead of frozen bananas
Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately. If storing, keep in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 12 hours (shake well before drinking as oats may settle). Make-ahead: You can portion the oats and frozen bananas into freezer bags for even faster prep. Variation: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter for extra protein.
