Mango Banana Oat Smoothie
Refreshing breakfast smoothie with yoghurt and fresh mango
Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Total Time: 10 minutes mins
Makes: 2 to 3 servings
- 2 tbsps oats, rolled or instant
- 1 medium banana, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium mangoes, peeled and pulp removed
- 3/4 cup plain yoghurt, chilled
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
In the bowl of a food processor or blender, blitz the oats into a fine powder. If using rolled oats, this takes a few extra seconds.
Now add in the banana and mango pulp and blitz till smooth.
Add the yoghurt, honey and vanilla. Blend to combine into a thick, creamy smoothie. Feel free to add more yoghurt or even milk if you prefer it thinner.
Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for one day. The smoothie thickens in the fridge and the mango flavour also intensifies a bit, so I prefer drinking it after a while. Happy summer!
*If you live in India, Alphonso mangoes are great for colour and flavour in this smoothie. However, any other kind is ok too.
*For a stronger mango flavour, you can use half a banana, or a whole small banana.
