Cupcake has been making smoothies lately, with some oat and chia powder that she stole from me. The little thief. She also stole my jars that fit my blender.
I finally made some more powder, it is time consuming as I make it in my coffee grinder and can only do about a quarter cup at a time. And since I wanted enough for a few weeks it took a while.
When I finished grinding I made a few smoothies for practice. I found some inspiration from Monica at The Yummy Life. I made an apple pie smoothie, a couple strawberry ones and a chocolate banana peanutbutter one.
They are all pretty amazing and taste slightly of oats, but if the oat and chia powder is put through a sieve it doesn’t have any awkward lumps.
Chocolate Banana Peanutbutter Smoothie
Ingredients
1 Banana
1/2 c Greek Yogurt
1/4 c Milk
1 1/2 T Agave Nectar or 2 T Honey
2 T Cocoa Powder
2 T P2B or Peanutbutter
1/4 c Oat and Chia Powder
Directions
Break the banana into chunks and put it into a blender (I put mine into a 2 cup narrow mouth jar, they fit my blender blade). Add the yogurt, milk agave, cocoa, peanutbutter and oat and chia powder. Blend until smooth.
Pour into a sealable container, or leave in the jar, seal with the lid and put in the fridge for 4 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds will soak up much of the moisture, as will the oats, thickening the smoothie.
Enjoy on the patio, while reading a good book, on the way to work or while doing homework.
