A nourishing banana oat smoothie that’s filled with nutritious ingredients, including chia, soy milk, almond butter, oats, bananas and dates.
This may not be the prettiest smoothie, but trust me, the taste makes up for the lack of color. If you ask me, it tastes like a vanilla milkshake. My favorite kind of smoothie.
One thing that’s important to me when it comes to smoothies is that it must me satisfying. I’m not interested in drinking my breakfast, just to be hungry an hour after. I need something filling and delicious. A nutritious smoothie shouldn’t taste bad. This is what I have in mind when I create a new smoothie recipe.
I’m also not interested in adding expensive ingredients you likely won’t find at your store. So I keep it simple.
Here’s what you’ll find in this smoothie: Soy milk (for plant-protein), a banana (for carbs and sweetness), a date (for fiber and sweetness), chia seeds (for fiber and fats), oats (for more fiber) and almond butter (for more protein and fats). Every ingredients adds nutrition and a delicious taste and texture to the recipe.
