Choco-Banana Oats Smoothie | Easy Breakfast Recipes

Tweet

Easy Breakfast Smoothies is one thing I resort to when I am out of time. A tall glass, like a beer glass of smoothie of some kind with an apple or toast makes a complete and filling morning breakfast for us. These days Bananas are trying to sneak into anything and everything I make. Be it a bread or a muffin, I am always browsing for recipes with banana in them. 'A' panics whenever I pick up a wilted banana and shouts "Please stop baking banana breads!!!Just give it a rest".

Throwing a wilted banana into the bin is a strict no-no to me. Its such a versatile fruit that you can sneak it into anything sweet, like this banana bread pudding that I made sometime back and now this smoothie. Adding roasted oats makes it extra filling and extra healthy. You can also add a few handful of blanched almonds when blending and garnish with candied walnuts to make it rich and crunchy. A handful of cornflakes will also give it a good crunch and I am thinking the Kelloggs 'K' here (the one which promises weight loss in weeks). On that note, I don't know how it works and it has never worked on me, but I love its taste ~ its extra sweet though I don't know wat they use to make it that sweet. Point to remember: I have to take a note of that next time I buy it. In that case, have it immediately or all you get will be sogginess.

~What U Need*~ Serves - 2 Beer glasses / 3 persons Quick Cooking Oats - 5 tbsps Ripe Bananas - 3 Chilled Milk - 2 cups Sugar / Honey - 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder - 2 tsps Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp(optional)

How I Made it:
Dry roast the oats till light brown and a nutty aroma comes off. Blend to a smooth powder. Add the remaining ingredients and blend till smooth.

Serve chilled!!!

** My Notes:
** Increase cocoa powder if you need it more chocolate-y. I wanted the banana flavor more and so used 2 tsps alone.
** Since I used Cadbury's cocoa powder, I skipped vanilla extract as Cadbury's cocoa has vanilla flavor added to it.

So thats it Folks...
With Love,

Signs off!!!
