Oatmeal Banana Smoothie Bowl
Author: Alison
Ingredients
- Oatmeal Banana Smoothie Bowl
- ⅔ cup rolled oats (I used Gluten-free oats)
- ½ cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
- half small banana or ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup almond milk, 2% milk or soy milk (add more to make less thick)
- Topping
- chopped goodnessknows squares (any flavor works)
- organic shaved coconut
- sliced banana
Instructions
- Mix together in a small bowl the oats, ½ cup coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla and salt. Cover and place in the fridge for for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Overnight helps all the flavors soak in.
- The next morning add oat mixture to a blender or food processor along with the remaining ½ cup milk and banana (or applesauce). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour creamy oats into a bowl, top with goodness bar crumbles, coconut and banana. Enjoy!
Notes
Soaking overnight is a bonus but not necessary. I prepared both ways and didn't really notice a big difference in flavor or consistency.
I used full fat coconut milk to soak but found that a thinner milk is better for blending and creating the smoothie.
The consistency once blended is still pretty thick, just smoother almost like yogurt.
I used a Vita-Mix and food processor and prefer the food processor as it was easier to pour all the smoothie out.
