Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 whole banana, optional, cut into smaller chunks and frozen
  • ½ cup rolled oats (or quick oats)

Liquids

  • ½ cup almond milk or oat milk, unsweetened, homemade or organic preferred
  • ½ cup water

Seasoning

  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt or Potassium Lite Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oats: Add the rolled oats to your blender and blend or pulse until they are mostly powdered or finely ground. This helps to create a smoother texture for your smoothie.
  2. Add the banana: Place the banana chunks into the blender. If you are using frozen banana, make sure it is cut into smaller pieces to help with blending.
  3. Pour in liquids and salt: Add the almond or oat milk, water, and the ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt or Potassium Lite Salt to the blender. These ingredients contribute to the creamy consistency and balance of flavors.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture without any lumps. Once done, pour into a glass and enjoy your weight loss smoothie immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute quick oats if rolled oats are unavailable, but rolled oats provide the best texture and fiber content.
  • For added sweetness without sugar, consider using ripe bananas or adding a few drops of stevia if desired.
  • This smoothie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but best consumed fresh for maximum flavor and nutrient retention.
  • Adjust the liquid quantities to achieve your preferred smoothie thickness.
  • For a protein boost, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter, but note this will alter calorie content.
