I love oatmeal in my smoothies. If it seems like an odd smoothie ingredient, don’t fret, as it fits in extremely well. Even better is the fact that it adds some heft from a satiety perspective. For more details on the uses of oats in your diet check-out this guide for making oatmeal.
How to make this oatmeal based smoothie
Smoothies are smoothies and should never be complicated. It’s why we love them. Just be mindful of how you load the blender to maximize smoothness and consistency.
Serving Suggestion
If you have any fresh mangoes on hand and perhaps so chia seeds you can easily convert this to a smoothie bowl if you prefer a spoon to a straw.
Tips for Making a Mango Smoothie
- Add liquids to the blender first, then add remaining ingredients based on hardness (hardest ingredients should be added last). This makes it easier on your blender’s motor as well as ensures the smoothest texture.
- Ice is primarily to add a chill, but if you prefer lukewarm to slightly cold smoothie go without. Frozen or refrigerated ingredients provide sufficient temps from a coldness standpoint
- Freeze your bananas ahead of time for a thicker consistency. Check-out this tutorial for freezing bananas if needed.
- I use almond milk + water as the base for most of my smoothies. It's easy to get the consistency I want and the flavor is sorta neutral which plays well with all the other ingredients
- Chop the beets and mangoes as evenly as possible for a better-blended smoothie
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What kind of oats work best?
Old fashioned or quick oats are your best bests. You don’t have to cook them, but they easily blend. Steel cuts you should avoid unless you don’t mind a very chewy and grainy smoothie.
Is this smoothie spicy?
The habanero is balanced by pineapple juice and honey. You can certainly make it spicy if you prefer. I do on occasion post-workout when I went to keep my heart rate up a little longer lol.
