Ingredients
1 cup almond milk
1/3 cup oats
1 frozen banana
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp carob powder/flour (see note below)
1 Tbsp cashew butter (gives it a batter taste, but other nut butters work too)
1 Tbsp chocolate chips
2 ice cubes
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the oats and milk. Place in fridge and let soak for at least 1 hour to soften. This prevents the oats from feeling too gritty in the smoothie.
After soaking, add to blender along with the rest of the ingredients (except chocolate). Blend on high speed until smooth. Add chocolate chips and blend on low until chunky. Serve and enjoy!
**Note: if you don't have carob powder, I would try subbing 1 tsp cocoa powder and 1 tsp liquid sweetener.
