Avena Breakfast Shake

Recipe submitted by Birgitta

Recipe adapted from Skinnytaste.com


Makes 4 cups

1/2 cup quick cooking oats
2 cups water
1 cup skim milk
1 ripe banana
1-3 tbsp sugar (optional - depending on sweetness of banana - or use another sweetener, like Agave)
2 tsp cinnamon
*Sometimes I will also add a 1-2 tbsp of cocoa powder
1 cup ice


Cook oats and water in a small pot for about a minute or two, stirring often until it becomes thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and let it cool a few minutes.

In a blender add milk, banana, sugar, cinnamon (and cocoa). Add oats and ice. Blend on high until very smooth. Chill in refrigerator or pour in a glass over ice.
